Website Email & Contact Scraper

✉️ Find public contact emails from website pages

For sales teams, lead researchers, and developers, Website Emails Scraper finds public contact email addresses on websites. You can give it website URLs or company details. It returns one clean row for each unique, normalized email, with the source page and the website it came from. Rows can also include public phone numbers, social profile links, postal addresses, and an optional mail server (MX) check. This helps you build contact lists without opening every page by hand.

• Collect public contact emails from submitted sites with website email scraper.
• Save each address once with website emails: one row per unique email.
• Check a seed and the pages it links to with website emails: shallow by default.
• Skip repeat addresses and repeat charges with website emails with duplicate-safe billing.
• Test a short seed list before a larger crawl with website emails: small seed list first.

📬 See clean email rows with their source pages

Each saved row has an email address, the page where it was first found, the page title, and the seed URL that led to it. The email is accepted, normalized, and unique within the run. A row can also include public phone numbers with phone checks, social profile links, and a flag for disposable email domains. Turn on the mail server check to see if MX records were found for the email domain.

When available, rows can also include postal addresses, fax numbers, and company details from published structured contact data, plus published text near the email. This text can help you see what the contact is for. It does not prove mailbox delivery.

🚀 Crawl a small set of pages first

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab. Choose how to supply websites, then add public website URLs or companies.
2. Leave the email limit empty or use 0 to return all available results until the source is exhausted. Set a positive limit when you want a smaller first run.
3. Run the Actor and open the dataset from the Output tab.

What happens in a run

The Actor checks each website and follows linked pages allowed by your path and domain settings. By default, it stays within each website. For company details, it first looks for the company website and checks it only when that website publishes the phone number you gave. It can read public contacts shown through JavaScript and common email forms such as (at) and (dot). A blocked or unreadable page does not show whether the site has an email, and it does not create a saved email row. Pages blocked by robots.txt are skipped. The first eligible occurrence of each normalized email is saved. Later matches are ignored, so they do not create another row.

⚙️ Input

Choose one way to supply websites with findBy, then fill in the fields for that choice. This example is copied from the public input of a successful current-beta default-input run.

Input example

{
  "maxNbEmailsToScrape": 10,
  "findBy": "websiteUrls",
  "urls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.w3.org/contact/"
    }
  ],
  "checkMailServer": false,
  "stayWithinWebsite": true
}

Input fields

Field	Type	What it does
findBy	string	How you supply websites: websiteUrls or companies. Only the fields for that choice are used. Defaults to websiteUrls.
urls	array of objects	For websiteUrls, a list of one or more public website URLs to check. The form prefills the one URL in the example; this is not a schema default.
urls[].url	string	A public HTTP or HTTPS website URL. A bare domain is also accepted and uses HTTPS. The Actor checks it and follows linked pages within your path and domain settings.
companies	array of objects	For companies, a list of companies to look up. The Actor checks contacts only when one website publishes the phone number you gave. A missing or unclear match gets a warning.
companies[].name	string	Required full company name.
companies[].phone	string	Company phone number. It is needed to confirm the website. Include the country code when known.
companies[].city	string	Company city. It helps find the website.
companies[].address	string	Company street address. It is used when no city is given.
companies[].country	string	Optional two uppercase letters, such as US or GB, used to read the phone number. Omit it to use phoneCountryCode.
maxNbEmailsToScrape	integer	Optional maximum number of accepted emails for the whole run. Use a positive integer to set a limit. Leave it empty or use 0 to return all available results until the source is exhausted. The form prefills 10; this is not a schema default.
checkMailServer	boolean	Set true to check each saved email domain for MX records and add domainReachable. Each check has its own small charge. Defaults to false.
phoneCountryCode	string	Supported country code with two uppercase ISO letters for local phone numbers, such as US, GB, CA, AU, DE, FR, or IN. Omit it to use US. Numbers that start with + keep their own country code.
includePaths	array of strings	Limit linked pages to these path prefixes, such as /contact. Empty or omitted allows all paths; submitted URLs are still checked.
excludePaths	array of strings	Skip linked pages with these path prefixes, such as /privacy. Empty or omitted skips none; submitted URLs are still checked. Exclusions take precedence over included paths.
stayWithinWebsite	boolean	Keep linked pages within each website. Set false to also check other websites that these pages link to. Defaults to true.
includeSubdomains	boolean	Set true to allow linked pages across the same domain and its subdomains. false or omitted stays on each website host, with or without www. It applies when stayWithinWebsite is on.

Input rules

Set the email limit for the whole run to a positive integer. Leave it empty or use 0 to return all available results until the source is exhausted. The email limit and page settings apply to every input choice. Path filters do not skip submitted URLs.

💳 Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged one event for each accepted, unique email address saved to the default dataset. When checkMailServer is on, each saved email that gets an MX result adds one small domain check event. See the Apify pricing panel for current rates.

Buyer-facing events

Email address

One accepted, unique email address is saved to your dataset.

Domain check

One saved email domain is checked for mail server (MX) records.

Empty searches, failed checks, company lookups, and setup work do not create an event. There is no separate Actor-start event in the pricing configuration. Duplicate addresses do not create another event.

❓ FAQ

Will the Actor return phone numbers or nearby page text?

It saves accepted, normalized email addresses. A row can also include public phone numbers, social profile links, postal addresses, and published text near the email when available on the source page. Phone numbers come from the text, phone links, and structured contact data of the source page. Fax numbers written in page text are included. All rows from the same page get the same phone list, and dates are not read as phone numbers.

Can I start from company details instead of a website?

Set findBy to companies and add the company name with its phone number, plus a city or address. The Actor checks a website only when that website publishes the same phone number. If no website matches, or more than one matches, you get a warning and no rows for that company.

What happens when the same email appears on more than one page?

The Actor saves the first eligible occurrence of a normalized address. Later matches are ignored, so the saved row keeps the first source page and seed URL. Later matches do not create another row or charged event.

How far does it crawl?

It checks submitted URLs and follows links from each page it reads, within your path and domain settings. There is no fixed link-depth limit. Pages that cannot be read or are blocked by robots.txt can limit coverage. Use path filters and an email limit to keep a run focused. If the run gets close to its time limit, it stops early, keeps the saved emails, and logs a warning. Increase the run timeout to check more pages.

Can I limit the number of emails?

Yes. Set the email limit for the whole run to a positive integer. Leave it empty or use 0 to return all available results until the source is exhausted.

What if a submitted URL has no email or cannot be read?

Only accepted emails from public pages are saved. A blocked or unreadable page does not show whether the site has an email, and a missing row by itself does not explain why no email was saved.

Check the run logs to tell an empty search from a failed check. Other websites can keep running when one website cannot be checked. A run can fail if unresolved access errors prevent all website checks. Confirmed unavailable websites can end with no rows and a warning.

Does it access private pages or verify mailboxes?

No. It reads public pages only. Turn on checkMailServer to check MX records. MX records show that the email domain can route mail; they do not show that a specific mailbox is active or accepts messages.

How does this differ from an email finder?

This Actor starts with websites you supply, from URLs or company details, and finds emails published on those public pages. It does not guess emails from names, and it does not find websites by keyword.

What do url and seedUrl mean?

url is the page where the first accepted email match was found. seedUrl is the website URL that led to the row. It comes from your URL list or the website matched to your company details.

📝 Actor Release Notes

v10.1 (11-11-2026)

• Phone numbers are now also read from the text of the page, not only from phone links and structured contact data. Fax numbers written in page text are included. Dates are not read as phone numbers.
• A number written without a + country code is now kept only when it matches a local phone format, including the leading prefix that format needs. Tax IDs, register IDs, and postal codes are no longer returned as phone numbers. Some phone links that leave out the + may no longer appear in phoneNumbers.

v10.0 (30-10-2026)

• spreadsheetUrls, datasetIds, websiteField, emailField, idField, keepFields, and onlyMissingEmail are removed. findBy now offers only websiteUrls and companies, so the Actor no longer reads CSV or Excel files or Apify datasets. There is no replacement for reading files or datasets. Remove these keys from saved inputs. To keep checking those websites, list them in urls.
• recordId and businessFields are removed from rows, because they only came from the removed spreadsheet and dataset inputs. There is no replacement. Remove these keys from code that reads results.
• contactFormUrls is removed from rows, because it could not be filled reliably on every website. There is no replacement field. Remove this key from code that reads results.
• companies[].legalForm, companies[].representatives, and companies[].registrations, with its court and number fields, are removed, because they worked only on websites with a matching legal notice layout. There is no replacement field. Remove these keys from code that reads results.
• When you submit many websites, each website now gets a turn, so one large website no longer holds up the others.
• If the run stops at its time limit, each website it did not reach gets a warning.
• For company details, you now get a warning when the Actor could not check every possible website, so no match was confirmed.
• Reliability improvements.

v9.0 (29-10-2026)

• domainReachable is no longer added by default. The mail server (MX) check now has its own small charge, so you choose when to pay for it. Set checkMailServer to true to keep getting domainReachable.
• Choose how to supply websites with findBy: website URLs, CSV or Excel files with spreadsheetUrls, Apify datasets with datasetIds, or company details with companies.
• For spreadsheet and dataset records, name the website field with websiteField and the email field with emailField. Keep a record ID with idField and other fields with keepFields. Turn on onlyMissingEmail to check only records with no email. Rows then include recordId and businessFields.
• For company details, the Actor checks a website only when one website publishes the phone number you supplied. A missing or unclear match gets a warning.
• Turn off stayWithinWebsite to also check pages on other websites that your websites link to.
• Rows can now include pageTitle, addresses, contactFormUrls, isDisposableEmail, and phoneValidation. Company details can include the organization type, legal name, logo URL, and addresses.
• urls is no longer required when you use another findBy choice.
• A website with a security setup that no browser can connect to is now reported as unavailable with a warning, instead of counting as a failed check.
• Reliability improvements.

v8.0 (26-10-2026)

• companies[].legalForm and companies[].registrations, with its number and register fields, are removed. These fields only covered a narrow set of German company data. There is no replacement field. Remove these keys from code that reads results.
• Phone numbers now come only from phone links and structured contact data on the page. Numbers written only as plain page text are no longer returned.
• Emails are read only from page content that is shown to visitors. Emails in hidden page parts are no longer returned.
• A website that is down for every visitor, such as one that keeps returning a server error or closing the connection, is now reported as unavailable with a warning. It no longer fails the run by itself.
• Linked pages that do not finish loading are skipped, so the run keeps checking other pages.
• If the run gets close to its time limit, it stops early, keeps the saved emails, and logs a warning.
• An unsupported phoneCountryCode now gets a clear message that names the problem.
• Reliability improvements.

v7.0 (26-10-2026)

• companies[].representatives is removed. Company details no longer include named representatives. There is no replacement field. Remove this key from code that reads results.
• companies and faxNumbers now come from structured contact data published on the page. Company details need a published legal name and a matching email. A legal notice alone no longer provides these fields. Handle missing company and fax details in code that reads results.
• Emails from click-to-reveal code and encoded page data are no longer read directly. Emails can still be found in public text, email links, supported structured contact data, or rendered content. Do not rely on encoded data alone to provide an email.
• Linked pages are checked throughout the crawl within your path and domain settings, rather than only from links on the submitted page. Set includePaths or excludePaths to control which linked pages are checked.
• Find emails written with [at] and [dot], including spaces around these parts.
• Published addresses such as support@yourdomain.com and hello@yourdomain.com are no longer skipped just for their names. Reserved example domains are still excluded.
• Reliability improvements.

v6.0 (25-10-2026)

• emailAssessment and its role, websiteAffiliation, confidence, and explanation fields are removed. Rows now use contactContext for published text near an email link, when available, instead of contact assessments. Update code that reads assessments to handle this text array. It does not provide assessed roles, website links, or confidence ratings.
• companies and faxNumbers are now limited to a narrow set of legal notice pages with a supported contact block. This keeps these details tied to a published contact block. Do not expect these fields from most websites; there is no replacement for them on other sites.
• Reading email addresses from click-to-reveal code is now limited to a narrow set of supported pages. Other pages can still return emails from public text, email links, structured page data, or rendered content. Do not rely on click-to-reveal code on other sites.
• Phone numbers can be read across line breaks and in more local formats. Legal reference numbers are no longer read as phone numbers.
• Published email addresses for outside contacts are no longer skipped just because nearby text names an authority or website designer.
• Separate links and lines are no longer joined to make an email address. Federated social handles are no longer read as emails.

v5.0 (25-10-2026)

• emailAssessment.confidence now describes the public page evidence instead of returning low, medium, or high. This gives the basis for the assessment. Update code that reads these ratings to accept text.
• Per-site urls[].userData.maxNbEmailsToScrape limits are removed. Email limits now apply to the whole run. Remove this key from saved inputs. Use maxNbEmailsToScrape for a run-wide limit; there is no per-site replacement.
• phoneCountryCode now requires a supported uppercase country code. Unsupported or lowercase values stop the run without checking websites, so invalid phone settings are not used. Update saved inputs, such as gb to GB, or omit the field to use US.
• Set maxNbEmailsToScrape to 0 to leave the run-wide email count unlimited.
• Contact assessments can include roles from a published Inquiry / Contact table and a general inquiry address marked “if in doubt.” These assessments use first-party email addresses.
• Reliability improvements.

v4.1 (09-10-2026)

• Email rows can include fax numbers and company details from public legal notices.
• Email rows can include a contact role or website link assessment based on public page evidence.
• Social profile links exclude more content and sharing links.

• Find emails in structured page data and some click-to-reveal links.
• Pages blocked by robots.txt are skipped.

• emailRole, which used the email name as a role label, is removed. There is no replacement in this version. Remove this field from code that reads results.
• Runs need at least 2048 MB of memory.

v3.0 (07-10-2026)

• Runs now need at least 512 MB of memory.
• You can enter a website domain without adding https://.

v2.1 (27-09-2026)

• Email rows can include public phone numbers, social profile links, domain reachability, and email role context when available.
• Reliability improvements.

v2.0 (10-09-2026)
