## 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.

# README

### What does Website Contact Scraper do?

**Website Contact Scraper** crawls any website and extracts all contact information found — email addresses, phone numbers, and social media profile links — returned in clean structured JSON.

This Actor runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com). Use it for B2B lead generation, sales prospecting, PR outreach, or building contact databases from public web pages.

### Why use Website Contact Scraper?

- **Comprehensive extraction** — emails, phone numbers, and social links in one run
- **Crawls entire sites** — follows internal links to find contact info across all pages
- **No manual research** — automate hours of prospect research
- **B2B prospecting** — build contact lists for outreach campaigns
- **Structured output** — all contacts organized by source URL

### How to use Website Contact Scraper

1. Open the Actor and click **Try for free**
2. Enter website URLs in the `urls` field
3. Set crawl depth and max pages if needed
4. Click **Start** — extracted contacts appear in the Output tab
5. Download as JSON or CSV for import into your CRM

### Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://example-business.com",
    "https://another-company.com/contact"
  ],
  "maxDepth": 2,
  "maxPages": 10
}
````

| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `urls` | array | Website URLs to crawl | required |
| `maxDepth` | integer | Link crawl depth (1 = start page only) | `2` |
| `maxPages` | integer | Max pages to crawl per site | `10` |

### Output

Results are stored in the Apify dataset. Download in JSON, CSV, HTML, or Excel.

```json
{
  "sourceUrl": "https://example-business.com/contact",
  "emails": ["info@example-business.com", "sales@example-business.com"],
  "phones": ["+1-555-123-4567"],
  "socialLinks": {
    "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/example",
    "twitter": "https://twitter.com/example",
    "facebook": "https://facebook.com/example"
  }
}
```

### Output fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `sourceUrl` | string | Page where contacts were found |
| `emails` | array | Email addresses found |
| `phones` | array | Phone numbers found |
| `socialLinks` | object | Social media profile URLs by platform |

### Cost

Pay-per-result pricing:

| Volume | Estimated cost |
|---|---|
| 50 websites (standard depth) | ~$0.05–$0.50 |
| 500 websites | ~$0.50–$5.00 |

### Tips

- Set `maxDepth: 1` with URLs pointing directly to `/contact` pages for faster, more targeted extraction
- Increase `maxDepth: 3` to crawl deeper into large corporate sites that may spread contacts across many pages
- For higher volume and more reliable extraction, use the **Website Contact Extractor Pro** Actor

### FAQ

**Does this find contacts on all page types?**
The Actor crawls HTML pages. Contact info embedded in images or PDFs is not extracted.

**Can it handle sites with contact forms but no visible email?**
If an email is not visible in the page HTML, it cannot be extracted.

**Is this Actor maintained?**
Yes. Report bugs or feature requests in the Issues tab.
