Email Extractor — Website Email, Phone & Social Scraper

Email Extractor — Website Emails, Phones & Social Links

Extract emails from a list of websites in one run. Give this email extractor a few hundred company or business domains and get back clean, deduped email addresses, phone numbers, and social-media links — ready for lead-gen lists, CRM enrichment, or research.

No setup, no per-site configuration. Give it URLs, get contacts.

Why this email extractor

• Bulk + parallel — feed it hundreds of domains; it fetches many in parallel, so a big batch finishes in minutes, not hours.
• Emails, phones, and socials — not just an address: phone numbers and social links (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, TikTok) in the same record.
• Find business contacts beyond the homepage — including contact and legal pages across different languages.
• Reads European sites properly — in Germany, Austria and Switzerland the real contact details sit on the legally required imprint page, not on /contact. Measured on 40 live German sites, following those pages raised the share returning an email from 55% to 82%.
• Extract publicly displayed emails even when the website obscures them.
• Best contact first — emails are ordered to prioritize likely business contact addresses.
• A social profile or Linktree is a valid input — point it at instagram.com/yourtarget or a link hub and you still get the full set of profiles and any contact details behind them.
• Find additional contacts on linked Facebook pages — turn on the optional Facebook fallback when a website returns no email (billed separately).
• Never silently drops a URL — every input returns a row. If a site can't be read you get the row with an error, so a list of 500 always comes back as 500 records.
• Messaging channels too — WhatsApp numbers and group invites, Telegram, Discord, plus Pinterest, Threads and Reddit alongside the usual six networks. For a small operator a WhatsApp line is often the one that gets answered.
• Turn link-in-bio pages into business contacts and social profiles.
• Get cleaner email addresses — common formatting errors are corrected.
• Clean output — deduped and junk-filtered (drops noreply@, asset filenames, placeholder domains); one tidy record per site.
• No per-contact metering, no contract — pay per site scanned, point it at your own list, and keep everything you find.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
urls	array of strings	— (required)	Pages or domains to scan. Bare domains like example.com get https:// added automatically.
crawlContactPages	boolean	true	Also check each site's contact, about and legal pages (/contact, /about, /impressum…). Best coverage; turn off for a single-page check.
facebookFallback	boolean	false	If a site publishes no email but links a Facebook page, look the email up there (billed separately, ~$0.01 per page checked). Recovers an email for ~75% of such sites.
maxItems	integer	unlimited	Cap the number of input URLs processed.

Field	Description
url	The URL you supplied.
finalUrl	Where it landed after redirects.
emails	Deduped, junk-filtered email addresses (drops noreply@, asset filenames, placeholder domains, etc.).
phones	Deduped, loosely normalized phone numbers.
socials	Links grouped by platform: instagram, facebook, twitter, linkedin, youtube, tiktok.
otherUrls	Other outbound links found on the page (non-social, non-asset).
pagesScanned	Which pages were actually read for this record.
noEmailReason	null when an email was found. Otherwise why not: no_email_published, contact_form_only, javascript_only, blocked or unreachable (see Why no email?).
contactFormUrl	First scanned page with a contact form, or null. Most useful on rows without an email.
recoveredBy	facebook-page when the optional Facebook lookup adds contact information. May also identify other recovery methods.
error	Only on rows whose site could not be read: what went wrong.
scrapedAt	ISO timestamp of the check.

Cost

Pay-per-result: $4 per 1,000 websites scanned (≈ $0.004 per input URL), with automatic volume discounts down to $2 per 1,000 at higher usage tiers. Platform usage costs are included — the price you see is all you pay — and you're charged once per input URL, regardless of how many contact/about pages it reads for that site.

For comparison: per-contact data tools (Apollo, Hunter, Lusha) charge $0.40–0.80 per verified contact — roughly $400–800 to cover 1,000 sites — and their coverage thins out on smaller, independent domains. This extractor reads what each site already publishes, so 1,000 sites costs a few dollars, not a few hundred. It's a different tool for a different job: bulk public-contact extraction over your list, not metered per-contact lookups.

Real-time HTTP API

Need one site's contacts right now, from an app or an AI agent, without starting a run? The Actor also runs in Standby mode: an always-on HTTP endpoint that answers in a few seconds.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  "https://aitorsm--email-extractor.apify.actor/contacts?url=apify.com/contact"

Copy the exact base URL from the Actor's API → Standby tab. Query parameters: url (required), crawlContactPages (default true), maxContactPages (0–8, default 4). The response is the same row as in the output above; a site that cannot be fetched still returns 200 with an error field. Private, loopback and link-local addresses are rejected with 400, and a request that takes longer than 90 seconds returns 504.

AI agents: Use Apify’s MCP connector to call this Actor as a batch run, then fetch its dataset items for the results. For immediate single-site requests, use the Standby HTTP endpoint above.

Cost per call: one result event per returned row (rows with an error included, the same as in a batch run; requests rejected with a 400 are free), plus the compute of the Standby run under your account, idle time included.

facebookFallback is only available in batch runs: it is billed separately and can take many minutes. For lists, use a normal run.

FAQ

How do I extract emails from a list of websites?

Paste your website or domain list into the urls field and run the actor. Each URL is read for published email addresses, phone numbers, and social links, and you get one deduped record per input URL. With crawlContactPages on (the default), it also checks each site's contact and about pages, where contact details are most often published.

Why did a site return no email?

Every row without an email says why in noEmailReason:

Value	What it means	What to do
no_email_published	The pages loaded and none of them shows an email address.	Nothing more to find on the site; try its socials, or turn on facebookFallback.
contact_form_only	No address, but the site has a contact form.	Use the page in contactFormUrl.
blocked	The site refused the request: an HTTP 401, 403, 429 or 503, or a bot-challenge page such as "Just a moment…". Also used when the homepage loaded but most of its contact pages were refused.	Try again later, or check it by hand.
unreachable	The site could not be read at all: the domain does not resolve, the connection timed out or was refused, the TLS handshake failed, or the page answered with an HTTP error.	Check the domain is still live.

On a sample of 100 event-organizer websites, 62 returned an email; the rest split into the reasons above. contactFormUrl is filled in on any row where a real contact form was found, with or without an email. Newsletter sign-ups, search boxes and login forms are not counted.

Does it work on German, French, Spanish or Italian websites?

Yes. Sites in those markets keep their contact details on an imprint or legal page (/impressum, /mentions-legales, /aviso-legal), not on /contact. German commercial sites are legally required to publish one. On a 40-site German sample, reading those pages took the share of sites returning an email from 55% to 82%.

Can it extract emails that a website obscures?

Yes. The Actor can recover publicly displayed email addresses hidden by supported email-obfuscation methods and include them in your results.

Which email should I actually use?

Emails are ordered to prioritize likely business contact addresses. Start with the first address in the result.

Does it get phone numbers and social links too?

Yes. Alongside emails, every record includes deduped phone numbers and social-media links grouped by platform (instagram, facebook, twitter, linkedin, youtube, tiktok), plus any other outbound links found. It's a full website email and contact extractor, not just emails.

What kind of websites work best?

Conventional content and business sites where contact details are published in the page. Pages that only reveal contacts after heavy in-browser loading may show less. All extracted data is public information published on the pages you point it at.
