## Pricing

$5.00 / 1,000 domain contact-extracteds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## Website Contact Extractor

One row per domain. Emails, phones, social handles, and embedded
platforms — pulled from the homepage and five standard contact pages
(`/contact`, `/about`, `/team`, `/imprint`, `/privacy`). Emails are
MX-verified by default. No headless browser, no cookies, no login.

### What you get

### How to use

**Input.** A list of domains or URLs.

- `acme.com` → crawls the homepage plus the five default contact pages.
- `https://acme.com/team` → crawls only that one page.
- `extraPaths: ["/legal", "/kontakt"]` → adds locale-specific paths to
  the default set for every domain.

**Output.** Apify dataset, one row per domain. Schema above.

**Verification.** `verifyEmails: true` runs a DNS `MX` lookup on every
extracted email's domain. No SMTP probing — just MX-record presence.
Fast (~50ms per unique domain), no rate-limit risk.

**Proxy.** Off by default; turn on `useResidentialProxy` only for
sites that refuse datacenter IPs.

### v0.2 — what's new

**Role classification.** Every email is tagged with a role inferred from
the local part: `ceo`, `press`, `security`, `legal`, `billing`,
`careers`, `sales`, `support`, `info`. `info@`, `hello@`, `contact@`
fall under `info`; `careers@`, `jobs@`, `hr@` under `careers`; etc.
Unknown locals get `role: null`. Filter `role == "sales"` to surface BD
contacts across a portfolio without manual triage.

**Strict same-domain.** Set `strictSameDomain: true` to drop any email
whose host doesn't match the input domain (or a subdomain of it). This
removes SDK noise — e.g. on `stripe.com` you'd otherwise see
`noreply@sentry.io` because of the embedded Sentry init script.

**Flat email rows for CSV export.** Set `emitFlatEmails: true` to
additionally emit one row per email shaped `{domain, email, role,
mxValid}`. Export to CSV from the Apify console → you get a usable
email list directly, no Python post-processing. Billing still charges
once per domain — flat rows are derived views, not paid data.

### What this actor does NOT do

- **No LinkedIn.** Deliberately excluded. LinkedIn's TOS and the
  `hiQ v. LinkedIn` chain of litigation make it unsuitable for an
  open Apify Store actor. Use a separate first-party LinkedIn-aware
  workflow.
- **No SMTP probing.** MX-record presence is the only verification.
  SMTP `RCPT TO:` probing trips spam-score listings on the source
  IP — bad ROI.
- **No JavaScript rendering.** Sites that ship contact info only via
  JS bundles (rare for contact pages) will surface as empty.

### Pricing

PAY_PER_EVENT · `$0.005 per domain_extracted` · 200 domains = $1.

### Source

Each domain's public HTTP responses on `/`, `/contact`, `/about`,
`/team`, `/imprint`, `/privacy`, plus any `extraPaths`. Parsing is
regex + light HTML stripping; deobfuscates the common `(at)` / `[dot]`
email tricks before extraction. Phone numbers are normalized to E.164
best-effort.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

Domains or URLs to crawl. "acme.com", "https://acme.com", "https://acme.com/about" — all valid. URLs with a path crawl just that page; bare domains crawl /, /contact, /about, /team, /imprint, /privacy.
## `verifyEmails` (type: `boolean`):

For every extracted email, run a DNS MX lookup on the domain. Slower but filters obviously-dead inboxes. No SMTP probing — just MX-record presence.
## `useResidentialProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Route requests via Apify residential proxy. Slower and consumes proxy quota. Only flip on if target sites refuse datacenter IPs.
## `proxyCountry` (type: `string`):

Two-letter country code for the residential exit (US, GB, DE, …). Ignored unless useResidentialProxy is true.
## `extraPaths` (type: `array`):

Optional additional paths to fetch per domain on top of the defaults. Example: ["/legal", "/kontakt", "/sobre"]. Use a leading slash.
## `strictSameDomain` (type: `boolean`):

Drop emails whose host doesn't match the input domain (or a subdomain of it). Removes noise from embedded SDKs (e.g. noreply@sentry.io appearing on stripe.com because of an embedded Sentry init).
## `emitFlatEmails` (type: `boolean`):

In addition to the per-domain row, emit one extra row per email with {domain, email, role, mxValid}. CSV export from Apify console becomes a usable email list. Billing still charges 1× per domain — flat rows are derived views, not paid data.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "stripe.com",
    "supabase.com",
    "linear.app"
  ],
  "verifyEmails": true,
  "useResidentialProxy": false,
  "proxyCountry": "US",
  "extraPaths": [],
  "strictSameDomain": false,
  "emitFlatEmails": false
}
