✨ Why Choose This Actor?

💸 Truly free	Pay only for the tiny platform usage — no rental fee.
🧠 Finds emails others miss	Decodes Cloudflare-protected, HTML-entity, unicode-escaped, percent-encoded, and "name [at] domain [dot] com" obfuscated addresses.
🎯 Domain-locked accuracy	Returns only emails that truly belong to each target domain — no random junk from third-party scripts.
🛡️ Smart proxy ladder	Starts direct, auto-escalates to Datacenter → Residential proxies only when a site blocks you.
⚡ Fast & resilient	Browser-grade impersonation + JS rendering fallback, with automatic retries.
📡 Live results	Every email is saved the instant it's found — a crash never loses your data.

🚀 Key Features

• Bulk input — scan hundreds of domains or full URLs in one run.
• Deep crawl — homepage + contact / about / privacy / imprint / support pages + sitemap discovery.
• JS-heavy site support — automatic headless-Chromium fallback for SPAs.
• Obfuscation busting — Cloudflare data-cfemail, @, @, %40, and "at/dot" tricks all decoded.
• Per-domain caps — limit how many emails you collect per domain (or set 0 for no limit).
• Per-domain sections — each domain's emails are also saved to its own section dataset.

❓ FAQ

Does it find emails on JavaScript-heavy sites? Yes — when a page returns little or no static HTML, the Actor renders it with a headless Chromium browser and re-scans.

Will I get emails that don't belong to the domain? No. Matching is domain-locked: only addresses ending in the target domain (or its subdomains) are kept.

What if a site blocks me? The proxy ladder kicks in automatically: direct → datacenter → residential, then it sticks with residential for the rest of the run.

Can I scan full URLs, not just bare domains? Yes — https://www.example.com/anything is normalized to example.com automatically.

⚖️ Legal & Compliance

Data is collected only from publicly available web pages. You are responsible for complying with GDPR, CCPA, anti-spam laws (e.g. CAN-SPAM), and each target site's Terms of Service. Do not use harvested emails for unsolicited bulk messaging.
