Website Contacts Scraper

Reads a domain's public pages and returns the email addresses, phone numbers and social profile links they publish.

POST https://YOUR_API_HOST/v1/website-contacts-scraper

Credits and caching

• Success billing. 10 credits per domain with contacts found. You are charged only when the lookup finds something; a not-found result is free.
• Results are cached per account for 7 days. Repeating the same lookup in that window is free and returns cache_hit: true.
• Invalid input, rate limits and errors are never charged.
• Read the billing rules for the full picture.
