General

What is SmartScan?
SmartScan is a web data extraction tool that lets you collect publicly available information from any website — emails, phone numbers, links, images, social profiles, metadata, and more. No coding required. Just paste a URL, select what to extract, and download a clean ZIP with structured results.
Does SmartScan work on any website?
SmartScan works on most websites, including many dynamic (JavaScript-rendered) ones. However, some sites use anti-bot protection — Cloudflare challenges, CAPTCHAs, IP rate limits, or login requirements — that may affect results. We do not guarantee 100% compatibility with all websites.

Some websites also restrict access by geografischer Standort. Since SmartScan runs from its own server (EU-based), sites that block non-local IPs may return empty or error results — even if the site opens normally in your browser.

Tipp: Run one free scan first to check the site works.
What data can SmartScan extract?
SmartScan can extract:
  • E-Mails und Kontaktdaten
  • Telefonnummern
  • Interne und externe Links
  • Social-Media-Profile (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X usw.)
  • Bilder, Favicons & Website-Icons sowie Dokument-Links (PDF, DOC)
  • Seitentext, Überschriften und Hauptinhalt
  • SEO-Metadaten (Title, Description, Open Graph, Canonical, strukturierte Daten)
  • YouTube — fügen Sie die URL eines YouTube-Videos, -Kanals oder einer Playlist ein, um Titel, Aufrufe, Likes, Dauer, Tags, Beschreibung und Kanalstatistiken über die YouTube Data API zu extrahieren
All results are packaged into a downloadable ZIP with TXT, CSV, and JSON files.

Scans & Modes

What's the difference between Single Page, Crawl Site, and Bulk Scan?
Einzelne Seite — extracts data from exactly one URL you provide.

Website crawlen — starts at your URL and automatically follows internal links, scanning multiple pages from the same domain — up to 30 pages per scan. Available to registered users (free).

Sitemap — paste a sitemap.xml URL and SmartScan will extract all page URLs from it and scan them automatically. Useful when you already know the site structure or want to target specific sections. Available to registered users (free).

Massen-Scan — paste a list of URLs (up to 100 URLs) and scan all of them in one go. Results are combined into a single ZIP. Available to registered users (free).
What do Standard and Dynamic modes do?
In Standard mode, SmartScan fetches the raw HTML response — fast and lightweight, works for most static sites.

In Dynamic mode (the default), SmartScan uses a real browser engine to load the page, execute JavaScript, and wait for dynamic content to appear. This is slower but required for SPAs and JavaScript-heavy websites.
What is Contact Discovery?
When enabled during a Crawl, SmartScan automatically prioritizes pages that commonly contain contact information — such as /contact, /about, /team, and /support. These are scanned first, maximizing the chance of finding emails and phone numbers with fewer page requests.
Can I schedule recurring scans?
Yes — any registered user can schedule scans to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly. Set up a schedule from the main extraction form (under Advanced Settings → Repeat). Scheduled scans run automatically and appear in your Dashboard.
What is AI Insights?
AI Insights is an AI-generated analysis report included with every scan for registered users. After each extraction, SmartScan automatically analyzes the page content and produces:
  • Website-Kategorie — um welche Art von Unternehmen oder Website es sich handelt
  • Zusammenfassung in 2–3 Sätzen — eine knappe Beschreibung dessen, was die Website macht
  • Business-Signale — wichtige Beobachtungen für Vertrieb, Recherche oder Kontaktaufnahme
  • Wichtige Seiten — Links zu den relevantesten Bereichen (Kontakt, Preise, Über uns usw.)
The report is accessible via a öffentlicher Link zum Teilen — useful for presenting findings to clients or teammates without sending raw data files.
Why did my scan fail or return empty results?
Common reasons:
  • Die Website nutzt Bot-Schutz (Cloudflare, CAPTCHA)
  • The content is loaded dynamically — try switching to Dynamic mode
  • Die Zielseite erfordert eine Anmeldung, um Inhalte anzuzeigen
  • Der Server lieferte einen Fehler (5xx) oder das Zeitlimit wurde überschritten
  • Die gewählten Extraktionsziele passen nicht zum Seiteninhalt (z. B. Scan nach E-Mails auf einer Seite ohne E-Mails)
If the issue persists, den Support kontaktieren with the URL and the time of the scan — we can check logs and help.

Usage & Limits

How do monthly scan limits work?
Monthly scan quota resets on the 1st of each month (UTC). Every scanned page counts as 1 — a single-page scan uses 1, a crawl of 30 pages uses 30. Guest users (not logged in) get 30 scans/month per IP. Registered accounts get 1,000 scans/month — free. Your current usage is shown in the Dashboard and Profile page.
