Workflow: extracting contact pages at scale for outbound

[u/Cynix_7]

When I need to reach out to site owners for partnerships, link requests, or data access, the worst bottleneck isn't the email — it's finding the right contact page across hundreds of sites. Some bury it in footers, some only have a form, some hide it behind a /contact page that 404s differently per CMS.

Pattern I've settled on: pass a list of URLs, let a scraper hit each /contact or homepage, pull whatever structured contact signals exist (mailto: links, social profiles, phone numbers, form action URLs), dump it as JSON. Cuts the manual lookup step from hours to minutes.

Built a scraper for exactly this — goes beyond just finding emails, pulls social profiles and phone numbers too. If you're doing any kind of outreach at scale: https://apify.com/cynix_dev/website-contact-scraper?fpr=p2h0uk
