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). # README ## 🔍 Website Email Extractor — Hunter.io, Snov.io & VoilaNorbert Alternative Extract every email address visible on any website at scale — homepage, contact page, team page, and footer. Each address is deduped, normalized, and labeled (role-based vs personal). Built as a pay-per-URL **alternative to** Hunter.io ($49-499/mo), Snov.io ($39-578/mo), VoilaNorbert, FindThatLead, and AeroLeads for lead-gen, outbound sales, and CRM enrichment. ### Why Website Email Extractor Beats Hunter, Snov, VoilaNorbert & FindThatLead | Feature | NexGenData Website Email Extractor | Hunter.io | Snov.io | VoilaNorbert | FindThatLead | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Cost | $0.003 / URL, pay-per-result | $49-499 / month | $39-578 / month | $49-499 / month | $49-249 / month | | Multi-page crawl | Homepage + /contact + /about + /team + footer | Homepage only | Multi-page | Homepage | Multi-page | | Email pattern detection | Yes — firstname.lastname / first / etc. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | | Role-based labeling | Yes — info@, contact@, sales@ tagged | Limited | Limited | Limited | Limited | | Bulk batch | CSV in → CSV out, single run | Plan-gated | Plan-gated | Plan-gated | Plan-gated | | API access | Apify REST + SDKs | Paid plan | Paid plan | Paid plan | Paid plan | | Auth required | Apify token | API key | API key | API key | API key | | Monthly minimum | None | $49+ | $39+ | $49+ | $49+ | Most agencies + outbound teams pick this actor **instead of** Hunter because it crawls multiple subpages (not just the homepage), labels role-based vs personal emails, and is **cheaper than** Hunter's $49/mo entry tier for any team doing more than 200 URLs/month. A **drop-in alternative to** Snov for the email-only use case. ### What You Get Per URL - `url`, `final_url`, `domain` - `emails` — array of every email found, deduped + lowercased - `email_count` - `role_emails` — array of role-based addresses (info@, contact@, sales@, support@, hello@, press@) - `personal_emails` — array of likely personal-pattern addresses (firstname.lastname@) - `email_pattern` — inferred dominant pattern on the domain - `pages_crawled` — subpages successfully fetched - `error` — if the site blocked or 404'd ### Use Cases - **Outbound sales** — turn a domain list into a deduped email list in one run - **Cold-email agencies** — build per-client lead lists without a Hunter seat per client - **Lead enrichment** — fill missing email fields in a CRM cleanup - **Recruiting** — surface hiring-manager + HR contacts on company career pages - **PR / press outreach** — extract press@ + media@ contacts across a list of news sites - **Competitor research** — capture every visible contact channel for competitors at once ### Quick Start (Python) ```python from apify_client import ApifyClient client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN") run = client.actor("nexgendata/website-email-extractor").call(run_input={ "urls": ["https://stripe.com", "https://vercel.com", "https://anthropic.com"], "crawl_depth": 2 }) for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items(): print(item["domain"], item["emails"]) ```` ### Pricing — Pay Per URL - **Actor start:** $0.005 - **URL:** $0.003 A 1,000-domain sweep = $3.005. A daily 200-domain enrichment = $0.605/day. **No monthly minimum.** ### Related NexGenData Lead-Gen Actors | Use case | Actor | |----------|-------| | Contact info scraper (emails + phones + socials) | [contact-info-scraper](https://apify.com/nexgendata/contact-info-scraper?fpr=2ayu9b) | | Find emails on a domain (pattern + verify) | [company-email-finder](https://apify.com/nexgendata/company-email-finder?fpr=2ayu9b) | | Email validator (SMTP + MX) | [email-validator](https://apify.com/nexgendata/email-validator?fpr=2ayu9b) | | B2B leads finder (multi-source) | [b2b-leads-finder](https://apify.com/nexgendata/b2b-leads-finder?fpr=2ayu9b) | | AI lead-gen agent (NL-query interface) | [lead-gen-ai-agent](https://apify.com/nexgendata/lead-gen-ai-agent?fpr=2ayu9b) | | Company enrichment from domain | [company-enrichment-tool](https://apify.com/nexgendata/company-enrichment-tool?fpr=2ayu9b) | | Lead-list enricher (CSV in → CSV out) | [lead-list-enricher](https://apify.com/nexgendata/lead-list-enricher?fpr=2ayu9b) | | Hiring-signal detector (intent triggers) | [hiring-signal-detector](https://apify.com/nexgendata/hiring-signal-detector?fpr=2ayu9b) | | Tech-stack detector (BuiltWith alt) | [company-tech-stack-detector](https://apify.com/nexgendata/company-tech-stack-detector?fpr=2ayu9b) | ### FAQ **Q: How does it differ from contact-info-scraper?** A: This actor is email-only and cheaper per URL ($0.003 vs $0.005). Use contact-info-scraper when you also want phones + socials. **Q: Are emails verified?** A: This actor extracts; it doesn't verify. Pipe through the email-validator actor for SMTP + MX checks. **Q: How deep does it crawl?** A: Default depth = 2. Configurable up to 5 to also walk /careers, /press, /support paths. **Q: GDPR / CCPA / CAN-SPAM?** A: Emails on a public page are publicly published. You are the data controller for downstream outreach — follow your jurisdiction's prospecting and opt-out rules. **Q: Why not just use Hunter?** A: Hunter is great for pattern-derived emails on a known domain. This actor is better when you want to actually scrape what's visible across the site, including role-based addresses and team-page personal emails Hunter misses. *** ### How NexGenData Pricing Works Every NexGenData actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset.
