What it does

Crawls one or more start URLs with CheerioCrawler (proxy support, session pool, retries).
Extracts emails from mailto links, visible text, JSON-LD, meta tags, and Cloudflare-protected emails.
De-obfuscates common patterns like name [at] domain [dot] com.
Normalizes and de-duplicates emails globally, keeping up to 5 source URLs per email.
Validates each email via the configured validation API in batches.
Filters by disposable, role account, free provider, and minimum score.
Writes one row per unique email to the default dataset plus a run summary to the key-value store.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

Event	Price
Email Result	$10.00 per 1,000 results

You are charged once for each email result pushed to the dataset, at $0.01 per result. Crawling and validation work that produces no output row is not charged.

Use cases

Lead list cleaning
Contact enrichment for sales and outreach
Validating user-submitted email lists
Removing disposable and role accounts from mailing lists

Limitations

Validation is heuristic (syntax + DNS/MX only). No SMTP probe is performed, so results cannot confirm that a mailbox exists or guarantee deliverability.
Cloudflare and other protections may limit crawling.
Respect robots.txt is enabled by default.

FAQ

Does this confirm a mailbox exists? No. The validation API checks syntax and DNS/MX records only. It does not probe SMTP.

Can I validate a list without crawling? Yes. Provide emails in the emails input field and leave startUrls empty.

What happens if the validation API is down? Emails are still output with validationStatus "unavailable" and a warning is logged. The run does not crash.
