## 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

## Contact & Social Profile Finder

A fast, no-browser way to pull emails, phone numbers, and social media profile links (LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub) off any website's homepage -- plus its contact, about, and team pages.

### What you get, per URL

- Deduplicated **email addresses** (from `mailto:` links and page text, junk/placeholder addresses filtered out)
- Deduplicated **phone numbers**
- Detected **social profile links**, one per platform: LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub
- The **contact/about page URL** it found and used, if any
- A one-line **summary** of what was found
- Sites are checked **in parallel** (configurable), so a list of 50 companies finishes in a fraction of the time a one-by-one lookup would take

### Why this instead of checking manually

| | Manual copy-paste from each site | Contact & Social Profile Finder |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Whatever page you remember to check | Homepage + contact/about/team pages, automatically |
| Speed | Open tab, scroll, copy, repeat | Seconds, via parallel scanning |
| Consistency | Miss obfuscated or footer-only details | Regex + `mailto:` link extraction, deduplicated |
| Output | Sticky notes or a spreadsheet you build by hand | Structured dataset, exportable to CSV/JSON/CRM |

### Who this is for

- **SDRs and sales teams** building outbound lists who need a contact email or social handle fast
- **Agencies** doing prospect research before outreach
- **Recruiters** looking for a company's LinkedIn or contact channel
- **Marketers** auditing a competitor or partner list's public contact footprint

### How to use it

1. Add one or more company website URLs.
2. Leave "Also crawl contact/about pages" on for the most complete results (it checks common paths like `/contact`, `/about`, `/team`, plus any contact/about link it finds on the homepage).
3. Run it once for a one-off list, or schedule it to keep a lead list fresh as companies update their sites.

### Example output (one item)

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "finalUrl": "https://example.com/",
  "statusCode": 200,
  "pagesCrawled": 3,
  "emails": ["hello@example.com"],
  "phones": ["+1 555-123-4567"],
  "socialProfiles": {
    "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/example",
    "twitter": "https://x.com/example"
  },
  "contactPageUrl": "https://example.com/contact",
  "summary": "1 email(s), 1 phone(s), 2 social profile(s) found.",
  "responseTimeMs": 240,
  "checkedAt": "2026-08-25T00:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

- **Site processed** -- charged once per URL successfully processed, regardless of how many extra pages were crawled.

Unreachable URLs are not charged.

### FAQ

**Does this render JavaScript?** No. It reads raw HTML, the same way most crawlers see a page. Contact details injected purely by client-side JavaScript after page load may not be visible.

**Does it verify emails or phone numbers are real/active?** No. It extracts what's published on the page; it does not send verification emails or make calls.

**Does it guess emails that aren't published?** No. This Actor only extracts what's actually present on the pages it crawls -- it does not pattern-guess addresses like `first.last@company.com`.

**Does this send data anywhere besides your own Apify account?** No. It only fetches the URLs you provide (plus, optionally, a handful of common contact/about page paths) and returns what it finds.

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

One or more website URLs to extract contact details and social profiles from.

## `crawlExtraPages` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, also checks common paths (/contact, /about, /team, etc.) and any discovered contact/about link for additional emails, phone numbers, and social links. Slower but more thorough.

## `maxExtraPages` (type: `integer`):

Upper limit on how many extra pages to fetch per site when 'Also crawl contact/about pages' is enabled.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

How many sites to process in parallel.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com"
  ],
  "crawlExtraPages": true,
  "maxExtraPages": 3,
  "concurrency": 10
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

One row per URL: emails, phone numbers, and detected social profile links.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com"
  ]
}' |
apify call zaden/contact-social-profile-finder --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,zaden/contact-social-profile-finder"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
