❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Mastodon emails? This actor only collects emails that users have published publicly in their bios, posts and websites. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with privacy and anti-spam laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, CCPA…): have a legitimate reason to contact them, personalise your messages and always include an unsubscribe option.

Why did I get fewer emails than requested? Many Mastodon users don't publish an email, and many use privacy-friendly providers (Proton, Posteo, Tutanota). Add those domains and more keywords to get more results. The actor stops automatically when no more emails exist for your search.

Do I need a Mastodon account or API key? No. Just enter your keywords and run the actor.

Can I schedule it? Yes – use Apify Schedules to collect new emails daily or weekly and send them automatically to Google Sheets, a CRM or a webhook.
