## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Email Finder & Verifier

Find a business email from a name and a company website. We find it **and** check that it is real before you pay. Already have a list of emails? Drop them in and we tell you which ones are good.

No account. No API key. Paste your list, press Start, done.

### What you can do

**Find emails.** Give us a full name and the company website. You get back a verified work email.

**Check emails.** Paste emails you already have. We tell you which are real, which are dead, and which we cannot be sure about.

You can do both in the same run.

### How to use it (2 steps)

1. Put one lead per line in the **Leads** box:

````

Jane Doe, acme.com
jane@acme.com

````

- A name and a website (`Jane Doe, acme.com`) means **find the email**.
- An email on its own (`jane@acme.com`) means **check the email**.

2. Press **Start**. When it is done, download your results as CSV, Excel, or JSON.

Have a big list? Upload a CSV instead of pasting (see below).

### What you get

One clean row per lead, with these columns:

- **Name**
- **Company**
- **Company domain**
- **Email**
- **Status**, one of:
- **verified**: the email is real and takes mail.
- **invalid**: the email does not exist.
- **catch_all**: the company takes mail at any address, so no tool can be sure about this one. (free)
- **unknown**: the mail server would not give a clear answer. (free)

### Why people use it

- **Find and check in one step.** Most tools make you buy two products. This does both in one run.
- **Pay only for results.** You pay when we find a verified email, or give a clear yes or no on your list. Misses are free. Catch-all and unknown checks are free.
- **No setup.** No account to connect, no API key. Paste and go.

### Upload a CSV

Have a spreadsheet? Upload it instead of pasting. Use a top row with any of these columns: `email, fullName, firstName, lastName, company, domain`.

- To **find** an email, a row needs a name and a domain.
- To **check** an email, a row needs an email.

Save from Excel or Google Sheets as a CSV file.

### What you pay

You pay only for results. No monthly fee. No charge to start.

- **Verified email found:** a small charge for each verified email we find. Misses are free.
- **Email checked from your list:** a small charge for each clear result (real or not real). Catch-all and unknown are free.

The exact prices are shown on this page. Nothing is hidden.

### Questions

**How accurate is it?**
Every email is checked live against the company mail server when you run it, not pulled from an old saved list.

**What does "verified" mean?**
The mail server confirmed the email is real and takes mail.

**What is a catch-all?**
Some companies accept mail at any address. That means no tool can be sure a single email there is real. We mark these as `catch_all` and do not charge you for them.

**Do I pay for emails you cannot find?**
No. You pay only for a verified email. Misses cost nothing.

**Can I check my own list of emails?**
Yes. Paste the emails, or upload a CSV with an `email` column.

**Does it work with my CRM, Make, Zapier, or n8n?**
Yes. Run it from the Apify API or connect it with Apify's integrations. Export as CSV, Excel, or JSON.

**Do I need an account or API key?**
No. Paste your leads and press Start.

**Is this like Hunter, ZeroBounce, or Anymail Finder?**
Yes. It finds and checks business emails like they do, on Apify, and you pay per result with no separate account.

### More tools from us

- **LinkedIn Profile Scraper + Verified Email Finder**: get public profile data plus a verified email.
- **Google Maps Scraper**: pull business listings, contacts, and reviews.

# Actor input Schema

## `leads` (type: `array`):

One lead per line. Two kinds work:
• FIND an email: a full name and the company domain (Jane Doe, acme.com).
• VERIFY an email you already have: paste the email (jane@acme.com).
Mix both freely, or upload a CSV below.
## `leadsFile` (type: `array`):

Upload a CSV instead of pasting. Use a header row with any of these columns: email, fullName, firstName, lastName, company, domain. To FIND an email, a row needs a name and a domain. To VERIFY, a row needs an email. Export from Excel or Google Sheets as CSV.
## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many results, a simple cost cap. Leave at 0 to process every lead.
## `emailApiKey` (type: `string`):

API key for the email engine. Usually set once by the actor owner as the EMAIL_API_KEY secret environment variable. Stored encrypted.
## `emailApiBaseUrl` (type: `string`):

Base URL of the email engine. Normally set once via the EMAIL_API_BASE_URL environment variable. Advanced.
## `emailMinConfidence` (type: `integer`):

Discard found emails scoring below this (0 = keep every verified hit). Advanced.
## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel lookups. Advanced - sensible default applied.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
"leads": [
 "Jane Doe, acme.com",
 "jane@acme.com"
],
"maxItems": 0
}
````

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

Found + verified emails and list-verification results.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "leads": [
        "Jane Doe, acme.com",
        "jane@acme.com"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("crustapi/email-finder-verifier").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
