Extract Contacts in Google Sheets & Excel — =VERVE("contactextractor", "https://example.com/contact", 5)

What this pulls

Harvest contacts by the row. =VERVE("contactextractor", A2) pulls emails, phone numbers and places from each URL — Google Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 10 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

One value per row

Fill =VERVE("contactextractor", "https://example.com/contact", 5) down a column and Extract Contacts returns a result for every row — a batch of live values in a single drag, no code.

Enrich data in place

Add Extract Contacts beside a table you already have to append its output right where your data lives, then sort, filter, or chart on it.

Stays fresh on its own

Set the sheet to refresh on a schedule and the extract contacts values keep themselves current without anyone re-typing.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("contactextractor", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address", -1)

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("contactextractor", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address", -1)

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Unique DomainsPremium

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Extract Contacts, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Extract Contacts into a spreadsheet?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("contactextractor", "https://example.com/contact", 5) into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.

How many credits does each Extract Contacts cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 10 credits. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.

Can I fill a whole column at once?

Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Extract Contacts at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("contactextractor", "https://example.com/contact", 5) down like any spreadsheet function.

Does Extract Contacts work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.

How current is the data?

Extract Contacts is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Extract Contacts is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
