## 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

### 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.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "urls": [
    "https://apify.com/maged120"
  ]
}' |
apify call maged120/extract-contacts --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,maged120/extract-contacts"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
