## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 🚀 B2B Company Contact & Verified Email Finder

> **Effortlessly turn company domains and website URLs into verified B2B contacts, active emails, direct phone numbers, and corporate social media channels.**

Stop wasting money on stale contact databases like Apollo, ZoomInfo, or Clearbit that sell you outdated emails from years ago. This Apify Actor scans live target websites in real-time, extracts high-intent contact points from homepages and high-priority subpages (About, Contact, Team), and **validates mail exchanger (MX) records on the fly** to ensure maximum deliverability and 0% email bounce rates.

***

### 🌟 Why Choose This Actor Over Traditional Enrichment Tools?

| Feature | B2B Contact & Email Finder | Traditional Databases (Apollo, Hunter, Clearbit) |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Data Freshness** | **Real-Time Live Crawl** (Fresh as of today) | Static Database (often 6-18 months stale) |
| **Email Deliverability** | **Live DNS MX Verification** per email | Guessed or unverified patterns |
| **Sub-Page Discovery** | Intelligent scanning of `/about`, `/contact`, `/team` | None (only homepage or domain lookup) |
| **Cost** | Fraction of a cent per domain | $0.20 - $1.00 per lead credit |
| **Anti-Bot Bypass** | **Built-in Chrome TLS Impersonation** | Frequently blocked by Cloudflare/Turnstile |
| **Corporate Socials** | Full profiles: LinkedIn, Twitter/X, GitHub, etc. | Often limited or missing |

***

### ✨ Key Features

- 📧 **Direct & Corporate Emails**: Extracts email addresses from `mailto:` links, footer blocks, and raw page text.
- 📬 **Live MX Record Verification**: Each discovered email domain is checked against active DNS MX mail servers to ensure it can receive messages.
- 📞 **Normalized Phone Numbers**: Captures `tel:` links and valid telephone formats while filtering out date strings and version numbers.
- 🔗 **Social Media Channel Extraction**: Detects official LinkedIn company pages, Twitter/X profiles, GitHub organizations, Facebook pages, and Instagram accounts.
- 🧠 **Intelligent Sub-Page Crawler**: Automatically discovers and concurrently parses high-intent subpages like `/contact`, `/about-us`, and `/team`.
- 🛡️ **Stealth Anti-Bot Engine**: Uses realistic browser headers and TLS fingerprint impersonation to bypass Cloudflare and bot mitigations without failing.
- ⚡ **High Concurrency**: Fully asynchronous design capable of processing dozens of domains per minute.

### 🔌 Integration Examples

#### 1. Python (`apify-client`)

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

## Initialize the client with your Apify API token
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")

## Prepare Actor input
run_input = {
    "startUrls": ["openai.com", "stripe.com"],
    "maxConcurrency": 5
}

## Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("YOUR_USERNAME/b2b-contact-and-email-enricher").call(run_input=run_input)

## Fetch results from the dataset
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(f"Domain: {item['domain']}")
    print(f"Emails: {[e['email'] for e in item['emails']]}")
    print(f"Socials: {item['socials']}\n")
```

#### 2. Node.js (`apify-client`)

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('YOUR_USERNAME/b2b-contact-and-email-enricher').call({
    startUrls: ['openai.com', 'stripe.com'],
    maxConcurrency: 5,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

#### 3. n8n / Make.com / Zapier

- Add an **Apify** node.
- Choose **Run Actor** and select `b2b-contact-and-email-enricher`.
- Map your domain list column from Google Sheets, Airtable, or CRM directly into `startUrls`.
- Route the resulting dataset records directly to your outbound cold email sequence or CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive).

### ❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

#### What does `mx_valid: true` mean?

When an email is extracted, the Actor performs a live DNS MX query on the recipient's domain. If `mx_valid` is `true`, an active mail exchanger server exists and is configured to receive incoming emails. If `false`, sending an email to that address will bounce.

#### Can it bypass Cloudflare-protected sites?

**Yes.** The Actor is equipped with a browser TLS fingerprint impersonation engine (`impit`/curl-impersonate) with Chrome footprinting, allowing it to bypass Cloudflare Turnstile and standard anti-bot bot blocks where typical HTTP clients fail.

#### Do I need proxies?

For small batches (under 50 domains), standard scraping works without proxies. For large batches (hundreds or thousands of domains), we recommend enabling **Apify Datacenter or Residential Proxies** in the input settings to avoid rate limits.

  ]
}' |
apify call usman_automations/b2b-contact-and-email-enricher --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json

        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
