Social Media Email Finder

Find social profiles by niche keyword and extract publicly listed email addresses across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter (X), Threads, Reddit, Facebook, and VK. Optionally fills remaining slots from Linktree (site:linktr.ee) with email_source=bio_link.

What you can extract

• Emails found on the profile (emails[])
• email_source (serp_snippet / enrichment / bio_link / unknown) and heuristic email_confidence
• Name, username, about / bio
• Platform, profile link, thumbnail (platform: linktree for link-in-bio rows)
• Followers / following / posts / likes / replies when present
• Keyword used for the run

How to use

1. Create a free Apify account.
2. Open the Social Media Email Finder on Apify.
3. Enter a keyword, choose platforms, set max results. Optional: email_mode, export_preset, include_link_in_bio, location / exclusions.
4. Click Start, then download JSON / CSV / Excel or use the API.

Email mode (honest limits)

Mode	Behavior
any (default)	Keep all found addresses
consumer	Keep free-mail domains (gmail, yahoo, outlook, …)
b2b	Drop free-mail domains (best-effort; lowers recall)

Modes bias the search query and post-filter results. They are not a CRM enrichment guarantee.

Link-in-bio (Linktree)

When include_link_in_bio is on (default), after platform profiles the Actor runs a capped site:linktr.ee filler. Rows use email_source=bio_link and are billed the same data_request as social profiles.

Prefer a SEARCH_CONFIG.indexes.LINKTREE_BIOS datastore that includes linktr.ee. On exploded social-only stores this pass often returns 0 (fail-open).

Export presets

emails[] is always present. Presets add alias columns:

Preset	Extra fields
default	none
instantly	email, firstName, profileUrl
clay	Email, Name, Profile URL, Platform

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing.

Event	When it charges
data_request (primary)	Once per profile row with ≥1 email
platform_usage	Usage true-up based on Apify platform compute

Free users are capped and may see upgrade placeholders after a small reveal. Set the Console Monetization primary event to data_request.
