Website Contact & Social Extractor

What is Website Contact & Social Extractor?

Website Contact & Social Extractor is an Apify Actor that crawls a list of websites and returns one clean row per domain with every e-mail, phone number, and social profile the site exposes. Feed it bare domains or full URLs and it aggregates contacts across the whole crawl, so 200 crawled pages still produce 200 usable leads, not 20,000 fragments. It runs on plain HTTP, no headless browser, for fast, cheap runs.

What data does Website Contact & Social Extractor extract?

Website Contact & Social Extractor extracts every contact channel a site exposes, normalized and de-duplicated:

Field	Type	Description
domain	string	Root domain, www. stripped
startUrl	string	The input URL that seeded this row
title / description	string	Site <title> and meta description
emails	array	Unique, lower-cased e-mails from mailto: links and page source
phones	array	Numbers from tel: links, normalized so formatting differences dedupe
socials	object	Profile URLs by platform: LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, Telegram, WhatsApp
emailCount / phoneCount	number	Quick sort keys
pagesCrawled	number	Pages actually visited
scrapedAt	string	ISO timestamp

Pricing

Website Contact & Social Extractor uses pay-per-event pricing: $0.01 per website result ($10 per 1,000), plus a negligible $0.00005 actor-start fee. Platform usage is included — no separate compute-unit billing. Set Maximum cost per run to cap spend; the Actor trims its own crawl list to stay within budget.

Website Contact & Social Extractor vs. manual lookup and per-page-priced scrapers

Manual lookup means opening each site and copy-pasting details — it doesn't scale past a few dozen leads. This Actor processes an entire domain list in one run at $10 per 1,000 results. Unlike scrapers priced per page, it charges per website, so a 200-page crawl still costs one result.

Using Website Contact & Social Extractor with AI agents and MCP

Website Contact & Social Extractor runs on pay-per-event pricing with limited permissions — the two requirements for an Actor to be callable through the Apify MCP server at mcp.apify.com. An agent passes startUrls and gets one row per domain back, and connects via n8n, Make, Zapier, or LangChain through Apify's integrations.

FAQ

Is this legal? The Actor reads only public HTML. You're responsible for crawling sites you're allowed to, respecting their terms, and handling any personal data under GDPR/KVKK.

How accurate are the e-mails? They come from mailto: links and page source, filtered through a blocklist removing common false positives (image filenames, sentry.io keys, placeholder addresses). Some noise can still slip through on unusual markup.

Why no phone numbers on a site I know lists one? Phones come from tel: links only — scraping digits from raw text produces far more false positives than real numbers.

How do I control cost? Set Maximum cost per run; the Actor caps how many websites it processes. Lowering Max pages per website also cuts compute.

Can I export as CSV or Excel? Yes, from the Output tab and API.
