## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

### Target Email Scraper

**Target Email Scraper** is a fast, practical email scraper built for marketers, recruiters, and data teams who need targeted contact discovery at scale. It helps you build targeted lead lists, speed up prospect email extraction, and streamline sales prospecting by collecting publicly available email addresses from Target using the keywords and filters you choose. 🚀

### What is Target Email Scraper? 🔍

Target Email Scraper is an Apify actor that automates email harvesting from publicly available Target data based on your chosen keywords. It is designed for people who want a reliable lead generation tool without spending hours on manual research. You can use it to discover relevant contacts, collect public emails, and organize results by keyword for easier outreach and analysis.

This targeted email scraper is useful for marketers building marketing outreach lists, sales teams looking for new prospects, and researchers who need structured contact discovery at scale. With configurable keyword inputs, optional location filtering, and email-domain targeting, Target Email Scraper helps turn broad research into focused, actionable results. 📬

### What Data Does Target Email Scraper Collect? 📊

Target Email Scraper returns clean, structured lead data focused on the fields that matter most for contact scraping and B2B lead generation. Each result includes the keyword that surfaced the record, a title, a description, a URL, and an email address. That makes it easy to export results into spreadsheets, CRMs, or email extraction software workflows.

| Data Category | Fields Extracted | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | `keyword` | The keyword used to find the result |
| Identity | `title` | The title returned for the result |
| Context | `description` | Supporting text associated with the result |
| Navigation | `url` | Direct link to the source page |
| Contact | `email` | Public email address found in the result |

### What Do Results from Target Email Scraper Look Like? 👀

Each result is saved as a structured JSON record in your Apify dataset. Here’s a realistic example of what a scraped lead can look like:

```json
{
  "keyword": "manager",
  "title": "Alex Rivera",
  "description": "Store operations leader with experience in team management and guest experience.",
  "url": "https://www.target.com/c/team-lead/-/N-56d9g",
  "email": "alex.rivera@gmail.com"
}
```

You can export your dataset in JSON or CSV format from the Apify Console.

### Why Choose Target Email Scraper? 🏆

Target Email Scraper is built for speed, structure, and practical results. Instead of manually collecting contacts one by one, you get a data scraping tool that saves time and produces organized output for analysis. It’s especially useful when you need a business email scraper for targeted lead lists, marketing outreach, or sales prospecting.

Because the output is structured and the run can be limited with `maxEmails`, it’s also cost-efficient for small tests and larger campaigns alike. If you need help or want to discuss custom solutions, contact <codebeatapi@gmail.com>. ✅

### How Many Results Can You Scrape? 📈

You can set `maxEmails` anywhere from 1 to 10,000. The number of actual results depends on how many publicly available contacts match your keywords and email-domain filters. For larger runs, it’s a good idea to allow more time in the run settings so the actor can complete comfortably. The dataset can store the results from your run, and you can export them whenever you’re ready.

### Legal Guidelines for Scraping Target ⚖️

Target Email Scraper only works with publicly available data. It does not access private accounts, logins, or authenticated pages. As with any contact scraping or email extraction software, you are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws, Target’s terms, and anti-spam rules. Use extracted contacts for legitimate business purposes only. For data removal requests, please contact <codebeatapi@gmail.com>.

### FAQ — Target Email Scraper ❓

### Country & Time Targeting

Both filters are applied to the Google query itself, so they shape which pages
the dork is answered from rather than filtering after the fact.

**Target Country** - runs the search as if from that country (`gl`). Turn on
**Strict country filter** to additionally restrict results to pages Google
attributes to it (`cr=countryXX`); that is much tighter and returns noticeably
fewer results. Leave the country on *Global (no country filter)* for worldwide
results.

**Result Language** - restricts results to a single language (`hl` + `lr`).

**Time Range** - limits results to a publication window: past hour, 24 hours,
week, month, year, or an explicit *Custom range* using **Custom range: from** /
**to** in `YYYY-MM-DD` form. A page Google indexed last week is far more likely
to carry a live mailbox than one it last saw five years ago.

Selecting *Custom range* without either date falls back to no time filter rather
than searching all of time by accident.

# Actor input Schema

## `scrapeMode` (type: `string`):

Find New Emails (default) searches Airbnb by keyword. Clean My List skips searching entirely and instead runs the emails you paste into Email List (below) through the same deliverability checks.

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

A list of keywords or queries to search for.

## `location` (type: `string`):

Location to filter search results.

## `customDomains` (type: `array`):

List of custom email domains

## `emailList` (type: `array`):

Paste the emails you want checked for deliverability. Only used when Scrape Mode is set to "Clean My List".

## `maxEmails` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of emails to collect. The scraper will stop once this limit is reached. Setting a higher limit allows for more potential results but doesn't guarantee reaching that number. This helps save costs by controlling scraping time.

## `verificationMode` (type: `string`):

Quick Check (default) validates syntax and MX records only - fast, no added latency. Deep Check additionally flags disposable-domain addresses and checks each domain against a public spam blocklist (Spamhaus DBL). Off skips validation entirely.

## `minQualityScore` (type: `number`):

Drop any contact whose quality score (0.0-1.0) falls below this. Leave at 0 for no filter.

## `excludeCatchAll` (type: `boolean`):

Drop contacts on domains confirmed to accept mail for any address (only applies when that signal is available).

## `requireMxValid` (type: `boolean`):

Drop any contact whose domain has no valid mail server (MX record).

## `targetCountry` (type: `string`):

Ask Google to answer as if searching from this country. Leave on "Global (no country filter)" for worldwide results.

## `strictCountry` (type: `boolean`):

Restrict results to pages Google attributes to the target country (cr=countryXX), instead of only preferring them. Much tighter targeting, noticeably fewer results.

## `searchLanguage` (type: `string`):

Restrict results to one language. Leave on "Any language" for no filter.

## `timeRange` (type: `string`):

Only return pages Google indexed within this window. Recent pages are more likely to hold a mailbox that still works.

## `customDateFrom` (type: `string`):

Only used when Time Range is "Custom range". Format: YYYY-MM-DD.

## `customDateTo` (type: `string`):

Only used when Time Range is "Custom range". Format: YYYY-MM-DD.
