Website contact extraction: emails, phones and socials

Website Contact Extraction reads a company's website and pulls out the contact details published on it: email addresses, phone numbers and links to social profiles. Use it when you have a domain and need a way to reach the business behind it.


What it tells you


  • Email addresses published on the site.
  • Phone numbers published on the site.
  • Links to the company's social profiles, grouped by platform.
  • Whether any emails or phone numbers were found at all, as simple yes or no flags.
  • How many emails, phone numbers and social profiles came back, so you can sort a list by how much was found.


What you need to provide


One input: the website domain you want contacts for. A full web address works too.


What it costs


10 credits per lookup. Live per-product costs are shown on the Billing page in your dashboard.


How to run it


  • In the dashboard: Website Contact Extraction
  • From your code: POST /v1/website-contacts-scraper, then see the Developer Hub at app.1lookup.io/developer-hub.


Good to know


  • It returns what the website itself publishes. A site that lists no contact details will come back empty, and the yes or no flags for emails and phones tell you that before you read the results.
  • Results are point-in-time. Businesses change staff, numbers and inboxes, so a detail that was live today can be dead next month.
  • Contact details are often personal data. Use them for legitimate business purposes only.
  • The counts and the addresses come back together, so you can screen a large list on counts first and only pull the detail for domains worth working.
