## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### ArtStation Email Scraper

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** is an Apify Actor designed to extract publicly available email addresses associated with ArtStation search results using specified keywords and optional location filters. The **ArtStation Email Scraper** helps turn targeted ArtStation searches into structured contact data containing the keyword, result title, description, URL, and extracted email address.

With the **ArtStation Email Scraper**, you can search using multiple relevant terms instead of relying on a single broad query. The **ArtStation Email Scraper** supports custom email domain suffixes such as `@gmail.com`, `@yahoo.com`, and other domains you specify. It can also filter result descriptions using exclude words or phrases.

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** is suitable for users researching ArtStation creators, artists, digital asset sellers, VFX professionals, creative professionals, and other publicly discoverable contacts. The **ArtStation Email Scraper** organizes extracted records into an Apify Dataset for convenient review and further processing.

### Key Features

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** provides configurable search and extraction controls while keeping the resulting data structured and easy to inspect.

### Why Use This Actor

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** is useful when manually searching ArtStation-related results becomes repetitive and difficult to organize. Instead of opening search results one by one, the **ArtStation Email Scraper** converts targeted search queries into structured records.

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** is especially useful when you need contact research around creative categories. You can combine several targeted keywords with one or more email domain suffixes to broaden discovery.

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** also allows optional geographic targeting. A location can be entered as a country, state, or city, or left blank to search without a geographic restriction.

For cleaner results, the **ArtStation Email Scraper** provides an exclude-word filter. Descriptions containing excluded terms are skipped, helping you avoid collecting contacts from unwanted categories.

### How It Works

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** accepts the search configuration from the actor input and processes the provided keyword and email-domain combinations.

For each search combination, the **ArtStation Email Scraper** searches for ArtStation-related results and examines available result information for matching email addresses. Email domains are controlled by the `customDomains` input.

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** can continue through multiple result pages when additional relevant records are available. The actor may stop when results become unproductive, when the requested collection limit is reached, when result pages become empty, or after repeated retrieval failures.

Collected records are pushed incrementally to the Apify Dataset. The **ArtStation Email Scraper** also stores progress information so an interrupted process can resume from its saved position.

### Input Parameters

Use the following parameters to configure the **ArtStation Email Scraper**.

| Field Name      | Type    | Required | Description                                                     |
| --------------- | ------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `keywords`      | Array   | Yes      | List of keywords or search queries to use                       |
| `location`      | String  | No       | Optional country, state, or city used to narrow searches        |
| `customDomains` | Array   | No       | Email domain suffixes to include, such as `@gmail.com`          |
| `maxEmails`     | Integer | No       | Collection target from 1 to 10,000                              |
| `excludeWords`  | Array   | No       | Words or phrases that cause a description snippet to be skipped |

#### Keywords

The `keywords` field is required. You can provide multiple targeted search terms to improve coverage.

Example terms include:

- `VFX Artist`
- `Digital Asset Seller`
- `3D Artist`
- `Concept Artist`
- `Character Artist`

Specific search terms are generally more useful than very broad single-word queries.

#### Location

The `location` field is optional. Enter a country, state, or city to narrow the search geographically.

Leave the field empty to search without a geographic filter.

#### Custom Email Domains

The `customDomains` field controls which email domain suffixes the **ArtStation Email Scraper** searches for.

Examples include:

- `@gmail.com`
- `@yahoo.com`
- `@outlook.com`
- `@hotmail.com`
- `@icloud.com`

You can also specify other email domains that are relevant to your search.

#### Max Emails

The `maxEmails` value can range from **1 to 10,000**.

The target applies to each keyword and email-domain combination processed by the **ArtStation Email Scraper**. Actual results depend on publicly discoverable data, so reaching the requested target is not guaranteed.

For free users, the actor applies a maximum of **100 emails**. Paid users are not subject to that actor-level free result ceiling.

#### Exclude Words

The `excludeWords` field lets you remove result descriptions containing unwanted terms or phrases.

Single words are matched case-insensitively as whole words, while phrases are matched as case-insensitive text within the description.

### Input Example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "VFX Artist",
    "Digital Asset Seller",
    "3D Artist"
  ],
  "location": "United States",
  "customDomains": [
    "@gmail.com",
    "@yahoo.com"
  ],
  "maxEmails": 10,
  "excludeWords": [
    "crypto",
    "onlyfans"
  ]
}
```

### Output Data

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** stores structured contact records in the Apify Dataset.

| Field Name    | Description                                       |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `network`     | Identifies the source as `ArtStation.com`         |
| `keyword`     | Keyword used to discover the result               |
| `title`       | Title of the search result                        |
| `description` | Description or snippet associated with the result |
| `url`         | URL of the discovered result                      |
| `email`       | Extracted email address                           |

The Dataset view defined by the actor highlights `keyword`, `title`, `description`, `url`, and `email` as its displayed result columns.

### Output Example

```json
{
  "network": "ArtStation.com",
  "keyword": "VFX Artist",
  "title": "Example ArtStation Profile",
  "description": "VFX artist portfolio and contact information example@gmail.com",
  "url": "https://www.artstation.com/example",
  "email": "example@gmail.com"
}
```

### Data Structure

Each record generated by the **ArtStation Email Scraper** connects the extracted email with the search context that produced it.

The `keyword` field shows which search term produced the record. The `title` and `description` provide surrounding search-result information, while `url` identifies the discovered destination.

The `email` field contains the extracted address matching the configured email domain suffixes. The actor also tracks discovered addresses to avoid repeatedly storing the same email.

This structure makes the **ArtStation Email Scraper** useful for contact research, lead organization, and downstream data workflows based on the exported Dataset.

### Use Cases

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** can support several types of ArtStation-focused research and contact discovery.

- **Creative professional research** — Find public contact information associated with searches such as VFX Artist, 3D Artist, Concept Artist, or Character Artist.
- **Artist outreach research** — Build structured lists of publicly discoverable creative contacts based on selected keywords.
- **Digital asset research** — Search for digital asset sellers and related creative professionals.
- **Geographic research** — Add a city, state, or country to focus search results.
- **Email-domain research** — Use specific domain suffixes when researching particular mailbox providers.
- **Market research** — Organize ArtStation-related search-result data for analysis.
- **Lead qualification** — Combine keywords and exclude terms to make collected records more relevant.
- **Creative industry discovery** — Explore ArtStation search results around professional roles and creative specialties.

### Best Practices

To get more useful results from the **ArtStation Email Scraper**, use several specific keywords instead of one broad term.

For example, rather than using only `Fitness`, use relevant phrases such as `VFX Artist`, `Digital Asset Seller`, `3D Artist`, and other role-specific terms that match your research objective.

Using several email domains can also broaden coverage. A search limited to `@gmail.com` may produce fewer results than a configuration using several relevant domain suffixes.

When the search target is geographic, use the `location` field. When geographic filtering is unnecessary, leaving the field blank provides broader search coverage.

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** may return fewer results than your requested target when the available public search data is limited. In such cases, broadening keywords, adding relevant email domains, or removing an overly narrow location can improve coverage.

Use `excludeWords` to remove descriptions associated with categories you do not want. This is particularly useful when broad search terms produce mixed results.

For large runs, allow enough execution time because wider keyword and domain combinations require more processing.

### Limitations

The **ArtStation Email Scraper** only collects email addresses that are publicly discoverable through the searchable result data available to the actor.

A requested `maxEmails` value is a target or cap, not a guarantee that the actor will find that many addresses. Results can be lower when suitable public email information is unavailable.

Searches can also become less productive after many result pages. The actor includes stopping conditions for repeated pages without new emails, empty result pages, low recent collection efficiency, and repeated retrieval failures.

Free users are subject to a maximum actor result limit of **100 emails**, while paid users are not restricted by that free-tier ceiling.

### Pros & Cons

| Pros                                    | Cons                                         |
| --------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Multiple keyword support                | Results depend on publicly discoverable data |
| Custom email domain filtering           | Requested targets are not guaranteed         |
| Optional location targeting             | Narrow searches may return sparse results    |
| Exclude-word filtering                  | Large searches may require more runtime      |
| Structured Apify Dataset output         | Search availability can affect coverage      |
| Duplicate prevention and resume support | Free users have a 100-email ceiling          |

# Actor input Schema

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

A list of keywords or queries to search for.

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

Optional country, state or city used to narrow the search. Leave it empty to search without a geographic filter.

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

List of custom email domains

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

How many addresses each search keyword + domain suffix combination may collect before the finder moves on to the next one. This is a per-combination target, not a run-wide total: with 3 keyword and 2 Domains and a limit of 20, the run works through all 6 combinations and aims for up to 20 addresses in each, so up to 120 overall. Lower values finish sooner and cost less; higher values dig deeper but never guarantee a fuller result, since the run can only find what is publicly listed.

## `excludeWords` (type: `array`):

Words or phrases you do not want to see.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "keywords": [
    "VFX Artist ",
    "Digital Asset Seller"
