Website Contact & Email Extractor

Turn a list of websites into structured lead-generation data. This Actor scans each homepage and, optionally, likely contact, about, team, support, or impressum pages on the same domain. It extracts public email addresses, phone numbers, and major social profiles without paid APIs, API keys, or proxies.

Run it from n8n, Make, or Zapier, or on an Apify Schedule / API, to pull contacts from every new domain in your pipeline.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
urls	array of strings	Yes	Stripe and Basecamp samples	Website URLs or bare domains. Bare domains are normalized to https://.
crawlContactPage	boolean	No	true	Also scan likely contact and company-information pages.
maxPagesPerSite	integer	No	3	Maximum pages per website, from 1 to 5 including the homepage.

Example input:

{
  "urls": [
    "https://stripe.com",
    "basecamp.com"
  ],
  "crawlContactPage": true,
  "maxPagesPerSite": 3
}

Output

Each input website produces one dataset row:

• url: normalized input URL
• finalUrl: final homepage URL after redirects, or null when unavailable
• title: homepage HTML title
• emails: unique public email addresses found across scanned pages
• phones: unique phone numbers with at least seven digits
• socials: the first LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok profile links found
• contactPageUrl: first matching same-domain contact-style page, or null
• pagesScanned: number of pages fetched and scanned successfully
• fetchedOk: whether the homepage was fetched successfully

Example output:

{
  "url": "https://example.org/",
  "finalUrl": "https://www.example.org/",
  "title": "Example Company",
  "emails": ["hello@example.org"],
  "phones": ["+1 415 555 0100"],
  "socials": {
    "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/example"
  },
  "contactPageUrl": "https://www.example.org/contact",
  "pagesScanned": 2,
  "fetchedOk": true
}

How it works

Requests use a browser-like user agent, a 12-second timeout, redirect following, and two retries with backoff. Up to five websites are processed concurrently. A failure on one website still produces a row with fetchedOk: false and does not stop the rest of the run.

Only public website pages are read. Review each website's terms and applicable privacy and outreach laws before using extracted contact data.

Use Website Contact & Email Extractor with AI agents (MCP)

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client this Actor as a tool through the hosted Apify MCP server. The agent sees the input fields with descriptions and example values, runs the Actor, and reads the results.

MCP server URL (this Actor only):

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/website-contact-extractor

Claude Code:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/website-contact-extractor" --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"

Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop and other clients (mcp.json or the client's MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/website-contact-extractor",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Clients that support sign-in (such as Claude.ai connectors) can use the URL without a token and log in to Apify instead. Get your token in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations, or generate a ready config for your client at mcp.apify.com. In the agent the tool is named technicaldost--website-contact-extractor; ask it, for example, to "run Website Contact & Email Extractor with {"urls": ["https://apify.com", "https://github.com"], "crawlContactPage": true, "maxPagesPerSite": 3}".

AI agents without an Apify account can also run and pay for this Actor per request with x402 agentic payments.

Run Website Contact & Email Extractor via API

Run the Actor and get its results in one call (replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/technicaldost~website-contact-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls": ["https://apify.com", "https://github.com"], "crawlContactPage": true, "maxPagesPerSite": 3}'

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("technicaldost/website-contact-extractor").call(run_input={"urls": ["https://apify.com", "https://github.com"], "crawlContactPage": true, "maxPagesPerSite": 3})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / TypeScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('technicaldost/website-contact-extractor').call({"urls": ["https://apify.com", "https://github.com"], "crawlContactPage": true, "maxPagesPerSite": 3});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Long runs: start them with POST /v2/acts/technicaldost~website-contact-extractor/runs and fetch the dataset when the run finishes, or receive a webhook.
