Extract Emails And Phones From Website
This automation will extract phones and emails from any website in bulk.
Input Example:
There is two way to use this automation:
- extract the emails and phones from all the website pages in bulk.
- Extract the emails and phones of individual page URLs of the site.
For site-wide bulk email extraction, you can use these settings:
- input URL: a domain name
- crawl depth = 3 (maximum subdirectory level)
- Max URLs = 1000 (maximum, for small sites 100-200 is enough)
For individual pages emails and phones extraction:
- input URL: a domain name
- crawl depth = 1
- Max URLs = 1
The latter setting is suitable for processing the website sitemap's URLs (ex: a subdirectory, listing ad section of a site).
There are two additional settings:
Return single row: pulls all the emails and phones into 2 separate cells with all the comma-separated data.
Extensive Search: this will take more execution time and crawl the site deeper for more results
Here is an easy example describing how you can use this automation to find emails and phones on a listing site. We will process individual URLs of a directory, not the entire website. This process will work with directories with a simple pagination structure.
Input Example:
This website has simple pagination. Each page URL contains the same URL parameter ?p= where the value equals the page number followed by the listing category and distance.
The pagination goes up to 35 pages:
URL parameter for page=1
Seeing the pagination structure, we can easily deduct the other pages' URLs until page 35.
Open a new Google Sheet, paste the first page URL containing the page parameter in one column, and then the URL's end in another column.
Then scroll down on the first cell and expand it to the bottom to have all the pages.
Finally, Concatenate both columns in a third column to rebuild the full URL of the page.
Now use this Google Sheet as input in the "Extract Emails And Phones From Website" automation to scrape all the data on each page.

Extract Social Media Links From Website
This automation will extract all the social media links of a website.
This one is useful to find the official social media links of a company. Data you can use later reuse as input to find company employees on LinkedIn, for instance.
Usually, you can find these social links in the footer of a website.
Input Example:
To extract this data in TexAu, input the website URL and run.
Same as before, you'll find a setting to pull results in a single cell if a page has multiple links from the same social platform (ex: subsidiaries or franchises).

Get The JSON LD Of A Website
This automation will extract the JSON-LD data of a website or web page.
JSON-LD uses schema markup data to describe the content on a page. This also plays a crucial role in SEO.
But what most people don't realize is that you can also use JSON-LD data to scrape websites.
This structured data extraction will work on all sites using JSON-LD.
Here is an example with a Shopify e-Commerce website:
Input Example:
Here the JSON-LD data of the page contains information such as product price, quantity, model, or description.
To use this automation, input the website domain or a list of URLs you want to scrape with TexAu.
After extraction completion, download the scraped data as a CSV file in TexAu.
Finally, go to the JSON to CSV converter website below, then paste the JSON-LD file content.
Upon completion, download and open the CSV file. You will see the JSON-LD data in table form.
