Contact Info Scraper & Email Extractor for Websites

Give it a list of company websites and get one row per website with the emails, phone numbers, social profiles, company name and postal address the site publishes. The price is $5 per 1,000 websites where contacts were found ($0.005 each). Websites with nothing found and websites that fail are free, and the number of pages read per website does not change the price.

It reads the home page first, then the pages that usually hold contact details: contact, about, team, impressum, legal and support pages, and matching sitemap.xml entries. It uses plain HTTP requests with no browser, so a run of 1,000 websites finishes in minutes.

What you get for each website

Field	What it holds
domain, finalUrl	The domain you gave and the home page after redirects
status	ok (at least one email or phone, the only charged status), no-contacts, blocked, dns-error, timeout, error or skipped
emails	Each address with its type (role such as info@ or sales@, personal, or generic), the source page, and mx (the domain has mail servers: true, false, or null when unknown)
phones	Each number in E.164 format (+4930...) when the country is clear from the number or the site's country domain, otherwise as written, with the source page
socials	Profile links for LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, GitHub, Threads, Telegram and WhatsApp
companyName	From og:site_name, the schema.org Organization, or the page title
address	The schema.org PostalAddress, when the site publishes one
pagesFetched, errorCode, error, httpStatus	What the crawl did, and why a website failed

An example row (made-up company):

{
  "domain": "litware-example.de",
  "finalUrl": "https://www.litware-example.de/",
  "status": "ok",
  "companyName": "Litware GmbH",
  "emails": [
    { "email": "info@litware-example.de", "type": "role", "source": "https://www.litware-example.de/kontakt", "mx": true }
  ],
  "phones": [
    { "phone": "+49301234567", "format": "e164", "source": "https://www.litware-example.de/impressum" }
  ],
  "socials": { "linkedin": ["https://www.linkedin.com/company/litware-example"], "x": [], "facebook": [], "instagram": [], "youtube": [], "tiktok": [], "github": [], "threads": [], "telegram": [], "whatsapp": [] },
  "address": { "street": "Beispielstr. 1", "locality": "Berlin", "postalCode": "10115", "country": "DE", "formatted": "Beispielstr. 1, 10115 Berlin, DE" },
  "pagesFetched": 6,
  "errorCode": null
}

Price

• $0.005 per website that returned at least one email or phone number. That is $5 per 1,000 websites with contacts.
• Free: websites where nothing was found, blocked websites, DNS errors, timeouts and bad input lines. Each one still comes back as a row with a reason.
• One price per website, whatever the number of pages read (1 to 30).
• Set a maximum charge for the run, and the Actor stops starting new websites when it is reached. Websites it skipped come back as free SKIPPED_MAX_CHARGE rows.

Example: 1,000 websites where 650 have contacts cost $3.25. A per-page price of $0.002 on the same 1,000 websites at 8 pages each would be $16.

How it finds contacts

• Emails from mailto: links, the visible text and JSON-LD. It decodes common hiding tricks: name [at] site [dot] com, (at), HTML entities and Cloudflare email protection.
• It drops things that only look like emails: image names such as logo@2x.png, placeholders such as you@example.com, and tracking keys from error-reporting tools.
• Phones from tel: links first, then from text right after a phone label (Phone, Tel, Telefon, Call). Fax numbers, dates, prices and loose digit runs are skipped.
• Social profiles from links only. Share buttons, intent links and single posts are dropped, and profile URLs are cleaned up.
• The MX check runs once per email domain per run. It is a DNS lookup, and no email is sent.
• robots.txt is read for each website, and disallowed paths are skipped. A website that disallows its home page comes back as blocked with ROBOTS_DISALLOWED.

Input

Field	Default	Notes
domains	two examples	Websites, one per line: acme.com, www.acme.com or https://acme.com/contact. Up to 1,000 per run, duplicates are crawled once
startUrls	empty	Same as domains, for lists from a file or another Actor
maxPagesPerDomain	8	1 to 30, home page included
sameDomainOnly	true	Follow only links on the same domain and its subdomains
includePhones, includeSocials, checkMx	true	Turn off what you do not need
maxConcurrency	10	Websites crawled in parallel, 1 to 50
timeoutSecs	20	Per page, 5 to 60

Use it from code

With curl, run it and get the rows back in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/zovo-one~contact-info-email-extractor/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domains": ["apify.com", "python.org"], "maxPagesPerDomain": 8}'

With Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("zovo-one/contact-info-email-extractor").call(
    run_input={"domains": ["apify.com", "python.org"], "maxPagesPerDomain": 8}
)
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row["domain"], row["status"], [e["email"] for e in row["emails"]])

The run also writes an OUTPUT record with counts: websites with contacts, without contacts, failed, and charged.

Price examples, a sample output row, the limits and common questions are also on the Zovo page for this Actor.

What it does not do

• No login pages and no pages behind a login.
• No LinkedIn or other social network scraping. Social profile links are read from the company's own website only.
• No guessing of email patterns (such as first.last@) and no email sending or verification beyond the MX lookup.
• No browser. Websites that need JavaScript to show their contacts, or that block plain HTTP clients with a bot check, come back as no-contacts or blocked, and you are not charged.
• No proxies in this version. Requests come from Apify's servers.

Lawful use

This Actor collects business contact details that companies publish on their own websites. You are responsible for how you use them: data protection laws such as the GDPR, and email rules such as CAN-SPAM, may apply to storing the data and to contacting people. Personal addresses of named employees can be personal data. Keep only what you need, and honour opt-outs.

FAQ

Why does a big website come back as blocked?

Some large websites block any client that is not a full browser. The row says BLOCKED_BY_SITE and is free. Most small and mid-size company websites answer plain HTTP.

Why are the rows in a different order than my list?

Websites are crawled in parallel and rows land as they finish. Match them on input or domain.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Use an Apify schedule or task with a fixed list. Each run is priced the same way.
