❓ FAQ

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

Why did I get fewer emails than requested? Most developers don't publish an email in their profile. The actor searches Stack Overflow and the whole Stack Exchange network, then stops automatically when no more emails exist for your search. To get more, add more keywords (technologies, roles) and more email domains.

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

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

💰 Pricing

Simple pay-per-result model: you only pay for the emails you collect.
