## 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

## Website Contact & Email Extractor

Turn a list of websites into structured lead-generation data. This Actor scans each homepage and, optionally, likely contact, about, team, support, or impressum pages on the same domain. It extracts public email addresses, phone numbers, and major social profiles without paid APIs, API keys, or proxies.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `urls` | array of strings | Yes | Stripe and Basecamp samples | Website URLs or bare domains. Bare domains are normalized to `https://`. |
| `crawlContactPage` | boolean | No | `true` | Also scan likely contact and company-information pages. |
| `maxPagesPerSite` | integer | No | `3` | Maximum pages per website, from 1 to 5 including the homepage. |

Example input:

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://stripe.com",
    "basecamp.com"
  ],
  "crawlContactPage": true,
  "maxPagesPerSite": 3
}
```

### Output

Each input website produces one dataset row:

- `url`: normalized input URL
- `finalUrl`: final homepage URL after redirects, or `null` when unavailable
- `title`: homepage HTML title
- `emails`: unique public email addresses found across scanned pages
- `phones`: unique phone numbers with at least seven digits
- `socials`: the first LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok profile links found
- `contactPageUrl`: first matching same-domain contact-style page, or `null`
- `pagesScanned`: number of pages fetched and scanned successfully
- `fetchedOk`: whether the homepage was fetched successfully

Example output:

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.org/",
  "finalUrl": "https://www.example.org/",
  "title": "Example Company",
  "emails": ["hello@example.org"],
  "phones": ["+1 415 555 0100"],
  "socials": {
    "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/company/example"
  },
  "contactPageUrl": "https://www.example.org/contact",
  "pagesScanned": 2,
  "fetchedOk": true
}
```

### How it works

Requests use a browser-like user agent, a 12-second timeout, redirect following, and two retries with backoff. Up to five websites are processed concurrently. A failure on one website still produces a row with `fetchedOk: false` and does not stop the rest of the run.

Only public website pages are read. Review each website's terms and applicable privacy and outreach laws before using extracted contact data.

# Actor input Schema

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

Website URLs or bare domains to scan. Add one website per line.

## `crawlContactPage` (type: `boolean`):

Also scan likely contact, about, team, support, and impressum pages on the same domain.

## `maxPagesPerSite` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of pages to scan for each website, including its homepage.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://stripe.com",
    "https://basecamp.com"
  ],
  "crawlContactPage": true,
  "maxPagesPerSite": 3
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "urls": [
        "https://stripe.com",
        "https://basecamp.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("technicaldost/website-contact-extractor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
