Overview

What this API returns

Scan public website pages for published email addresses and keep the exact source page and surrounding evidence.

domains accepts one domain per line and strips www, while startUrls can target a specific page. maxPages controls how many public pages are checked: the homepage plus up to four more contact, about, team and legal or imprint pages.

Only published addresses are returned. includeFreeMail keeps free-mail addresses labelled separately from the site's own domain. checkMx adds a DNS fact about the email domain, not a mailbox check or a deliverability guarantee.

Published request fields

Inputs accepted by the Actor. They are documentation only here; no request is sent from this view.

FieldTypeDescription
domainsstring[]One domain per line, for example acme-widgets.de. A full URL works too; www. is stripped and duplicates are removed.
startUrlsArray<string | { url: string }>Website URLs to start from, when you want a specific page instead of the homepage. Combined with the domains above.
maxResultsintegerHard cap on how many domains are written to the dataset across the whole run, including a resumed run. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 1000000.
maxPagesintegerHomepage plus up to four more: contact, about, team and legal/imprint. Lower it to 1 to scan homepages only — that is faster and cheaper, and in our own 1,039-domain test it found addresses on 39.9% of domains instead of 53.7%. Default: 5. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 5.
includeFreeMailbooleanKeep gmail.com, outlook.com and similar addresses when they are published as the site's contact address. Small businesses often use one. They are always labelled separately from addresses on the site's own domain. Default: true.
checkMxbooleanAdds mxAvailable to each address: whether the email domain publishes MX records. This is a DNS fact about the domain, not a check of the individual mailbox and not a deliverability guarantee. Default: true.
concurrencyintegerHow many batches of 8 domains run at once. Raise it for large lists, lower it if you want a gentler crawl. Default: 4. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 10.

Fetch outcome

status is the service result (only contacts_found is charged); outcome is the homepage fetch result. Published values are shown without interpretation.

FieldTypeDescription
domainstringThe input domain, lower-cased and without www.
inputValuestringExactly what you passed in.
websiteUrlstringThe URL that was actually reached, after redirects.
statusstringOnly contacts_found is charged. Accepted: "contacts_found", "no_contacts_found", "unreachable".
outcomestringFetch result of the homepage: ok, http_403, http_429, dns_failed, timeout, tls_failed, challenged, http_5xx, …

Discovered emails

Counts are the service's own classifications. Email entries keep their returned structure because nested field names are part of the response contract.

Reference

Request and response contract

POST to the Apify Actor endpoint with a bearer token. Request examples use $APIFY_TOKEN and the current product defaults; response examples come from a saved historical record.

Parameters

Request fields accepted by the Actor. Preview input is sent only when you run a live request.

domainsstring[]

One domain per line, for example acme-widgets.de. A full URL works too; www. is stripped and duplicates are removed.

Example: ["apify.com"]

startUrlsArray<string | { url: string }>

Website URLs to start from, when you want a specific page instead of the homepage. Combined with the domains above.

maxResultsinteger

Hard cap on how many domains are written to the dataset across the whole run, including a resumed run. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 1000000.

maxPagesinteger

includeFreeMailboolean

Keep gmail.com, outlook.com and similar addresses when they are published as the site's contact address. Small businesses often use one. They are always labelled separately from addresses on the site's own domain. Default: true.

checkMxboolean

Adds mxAvailable to each address: whether the email domain publishes MX records. This is a DNS fact about the domain, not a check of the individual mailbox and not a deliverability guarantee. Default: true.

concurrencyinteger

How many batches of 8 domains run at once. Raise it for large lists, lower it if you want a gentler crawl. Default: 4. Minimum: 1. Maximum: 10.

FAQ

Questions about the contract

Authentication, response shape, recorded data and availability.

Does checkMx verify a mailbox?

No. It adds whether the email domain publishes MX records. That is a DNS fact about the domain, not a check of an individual mailbox and not a deliverability guarantee.

How many pages are scanned?

maxPages defaults to 5 and covers the homepage plus up to four more contact, about, team and legal or imprint pages. Setting it to 1 scans homepages only.

Why is there no recorded response?

No response sample has been saved yet. You can review the request and response fields in the Reference section.

How do I authenticate requests?

Send an Apify token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header, as shown in the request examples.

Are the results on this page live?

Not by default. No recorded sample is available for this product; review the request and response contract in the Reference section. Live data is requested directly from the published Apify Actor endpoint with your own token.

Where can I find current pricing?

Current pricing and usage terms are published on the Apify Actor page.
