## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Website Contact Data Extractor

Extract public contact details and social profiles from company websites in a clean, structured format.

Website Contact Data Extractor is built for lead generation, CRM enrichment, sales research, market research, and automation workflows. Provide one or more business website URLs and the Actor scans a small set of high-signal pages such as home, contact, about, company, team, location, legal, imprint, and impressum pages.

### Features

- Extracts public email addresses from visible text, `mailto:` links, and JSON-LD structured data
- Extracts public phone numbers from `tel:` links, page contact sections, footers, and JSON-LD
- Detects contact and about page URLs
- Extracts social profile links from Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, YouTube, and TikTok
- Crawls only same-website pages to keep results relevant
- Deduplicates and validates emails and phone numbers
- Returns one clean structured result per website
- Includes run summary output for quick quality checks

### Best For

- Sales prospecting
- CRM enrichment
- Lead list cleanup
- Company research
- Market research
- Agency prospecting
- Directory enrichment
- Automation pipelines with Apify, Make, n8n, Zapier, Google Sheets, Airtable, or custom APIs

### Input

#### `startUrls`

Add one or more public company or business website URLs. URLs without `https://` are accepted and normalized automatically.

The Actor automatically scans the homepage plus selected high-signal pages such as contact, about, company, team, location, legal, imprint, and impressum pages.

### Example Input

```json
{
    "startUrls": [
        { "url": "https://www.apify.com" },
        { "url": "https://stripe.com" },
        { "url": "https://www.shopify.com" }
    ]
}
```

### Output

Each dataset item represents one processed website.

```json
{
    "status": "ok",
    "websiteUrl": "https://www.example.com/",
    "domain": "example.com",
    "emails": ["info@example.com", "sales@example.com"],
    "phones": ["+1 800 123 4567"],
    "contactPage": "https://example.com/contact",
    "aboutPage": "https://example.com/about",
    "facebook": "https://facebook.com/example",
    "instagram": "https://instagram.com/example",
    "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/example",
    "twitter": "https://x.com/example",
    "youtube": "https://youtube.com/@example",
    "tiktok": "https://www.tiktok.com/@example"
}
```

#### Status Values

- `ok`: Contact data, social links, or important pages were found.
- `empty`: The website was scanned successfully, but no useful contact data was found.
- `failed`: The website could not be loaded after retries.

### Output Fields

| Field         | Description                                   |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `status`      | Processing result: `ok`, `empty`, or `failed` |
| `websiteUrl`  | Original normalized website URL               |
| `domain`      | Website hostname without `www`                |
| `emails`      | Deduplicated public email addresses           |
| `phones`      | Deduplicated public phone numbers             |
| `contactPage` | Detected contact page URL                     |
| `aboutPage`   | Detected about/company/team page URL          |
| `facebook`    | Facebook page/profile URL                     |
| `instagram`   | Instagram profile URL                         |
| `linkedin`    | LinkedIn company/profile URL                  |
| `twitter`     | Twitter/X profile URL                         |
| `youtube`     | YouTube channel/profile URL                   |
| `tiktok`      | TikTok profile URL                            |

### How It Works

1. The Actor normalizes and validates input URLs.
2. It loads each website with Crawlee and Cheerio for fast, low-cost scraping.
3. It extracts emails, phone numbers, contact pages, about pages, and social links.
4. It parses JSON-LD structured data before scripts are removed.
5. It discovers and scans high-signal same-domain pages.
6. It deduplicates and validates extracted data.
7. It saves one result per website to the default dataset and stores run statistics in `SUMMARY`.

### Notes And Limitations

- Only publicly available website data is extracted.
- Login-only pages, CAPTCHA-protected pages, and contact forms without visible contact details are not supported.
- Heavily JavaScript-rendered websites may return fewer results because this Actor uses fast HTML scraping instead of a browser.
- Some websites intentionally do not publish emails or phone numbers.
- Phone extraction is conservative to avoid collecting dates, IDs, and tracking numbers.
- Always use extracted contact data responsibly and follow applicable privacy, anti-spam, and data protection laws.

### Pricing Recommendation

Recommended marketplace pricing: **paid per result**.

Suggested starting price: **$2.00 to $4.00 per 1,000 website results**, with a small free trial allowance if available. This pricing is easy for lead generation users to understand because they pay per processed website, while the Actor keeps compute cost low by using Cheerio instead of browser automation.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [

    },
    {
      "url": "https://stripe.com"

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,seeb/website-contact-data-extractor"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
