digitalbynamoQ: Question About Scraping Contact Details From Press Sites
I’d like to ask whether your tool can scrape contact and profile details from press websites. Specifically, I want to know if it can collect information such as:
Email address
Name
Company name
Other available contact or profile details
Please let me know what data points are supported, any limitations, and whether this feature is included by default or requires an upgrade.
2)
Can you share details about your scraping features and how you manage costs?
I’m guessing you use third-party APIs, so I want to know if your pricing might change later.

Q1: Scrape Contact Details from Press Sites?
✅ Yes, BrowserAct can extract contact and profile details.
What can be extracted:
✅ Email addresses (if publicly displayed)
✅ Names
✅ Company names
✅ Phone numbers
✅ Social media links
✅ Bios and descriptions
✅ Any publicly visible contact information
Important:
✅ Data must be publicly visible on the website
❌ Cannot access data behind login walls (unless you have credentials)
✅ No upgrade needed - included by default in all tiers
Example workflow:
Navigate to press site → Find journalist profiles → Extract name, email, company → Export to CSV
Q2: Scraping Features & Cost Management
How BrowserAct works:
✅ We own and operate our infrastructure:
Custom Chromium browser engine
Residential proxy network
Cloud server infrastructure
Not dependent on third-party scraping APIs
Pricing stability:
✅ AppSumo lifetime deal = locked-in pricing
Your tier credits won't decrease
No price increases for existing users
20K credits/month (Tier 1) remains 20K forever
We do NOT:
❌ Use third-party scraping APIs (like ScraperAPI, Apify, etc.)
❌ Pass on API costs to users
❌ Reduce credits for existing lifetime users
Our commitment:
Infrastructure costs are our responsibility
Lifetime deal honors original credit allocation
You're protected from future pricing changes
About 20K Credits/Month:
For press contact scraping:
Simple contact extraction: ~10-20 credits per profile
20K credits ≈ 1,000-2,000 contacts/month
Depends on website complexity
Best approach: Test with 10-20 profiles to calculate your exact usage.
Summary:
✅ Press contact scraping: Fully supported (email, name, company, etc.)
✅ No upgrade needed: Included in all tiers
✅ Own infrastructure: Not dependent on third-party APIs
✅ Pricing locked: Lifetime deal = no future increases
✅ 20K credits: ~1,000-2,000 contacts/month (test to confirm)
