Email Scraper 📧

Ever needed to find a contact email on a website but couldn't? This tool is for you! Just give it a list of websites, and it'll automatically hunt down publicly available email addresses for you.

It's smart, too. The scraper automatically checks the most common places to find contact info, like a site's homepage, contact, support, and about pages. It's built to be both fast and thorough, and now you have full control over the scraping method to perfectly match your needs.

What you'll get

For every email it finds, the scraper will give you:

• The email address itself.
• The exact page where the email was found.
• The original website you asked it to search.
• A timestamp of when it was found.

Fine-Tune Your Scrape ⚙️

You now have full control over how the scraper works, letting you balance speed and accuracy.

Scraping Method

• Hybrid (Recommended): The best of both worlds. Starts with a super-fast check. If that doesn't find anything, it automatically launches a powerful deep search.
• Fast: Uses a lightweight method to scrape as quickly as possible. Great for large lists of simple websites, but may miss emails on modern, complex sites.
• Deep: Uses a full web browser for every site to ensure the highest accuracy. Slower, but the most thorough option for tough websites.

Search Goal

• Find one email - Faster: As soon as the first email is found on a domain, the scraper stops searching that site and moves on. This is the most efficient way to quickly get a contact for each domain.
• Find all emails - Slower: The scraper will search every possible page for a domain, even after finding an email, to create a complete list of all available contacts. This is slower but more comprehensive.

Is it legal to scrape emails?
We built this tool to be ethical. It only finds and extracts email addresses that have been made publicly available by the website's owner. It does not access any private or hidden data.

That said, you should be aware that your results may contain personal data, which is protected by regulations like GDPR. Always make sure you have a legitimate reason for collecting and using this data. If you're unsure, it's always a good idea to consult with a legal professional.

Connect with other apps
You can easily connect this scraper to other tools and apps thanks to Apify's integrations. Send your results to Google Sheets, an Airtable base, or trigger a workflow in Zapier or Make.

Your feedback
Always working on making it better. If you have any feedback or find a bug, please create an issue on the Actor’s Issues tab in the Apify Console.

Happy Scrapings!
