Email Finder & Verifier — B2B Lookup + MX

Email finder & verifier for B2B lookup — find publicly listed contact emails from websites you supply, plus optional MX-checked pattern candidates from name + domain. Bulk-ready dataset. No Hunter key. No breach data. No LinkedIn.

Pay per dataset item (apify-default-dataset-item). Misses can be omitted.

What it does

Mode	Behavior
Website	Fetches homepage + common /contact paths on your domains/URLs and extracts mailto: / visible emails
Patterns	Builds common name@domain formats and confirms the domain has MX records
Both	Runs website scrape then pattern candidates
Verify (emails[], any mode)	Checks a list you already have: syntax → MX → role / free / disposable flags → confidence 0-100 and status good | risky | bad with a reason. Every checked address is returned. good = syntax + MX pass (max confidence 65) — never a confirmed mailbox. An address that is both in emails[] and found on a crawled page is returned once, as the verify row. Addresses are lowercased and unicode domains punycoded; inputEmail keeps what you sent. Rows beyond maxItems are not checked (the run status message says how many were).

Outdo checklist (vs typical email finder APIs)

• Query-first Email Finder & Verifier title for Store/Google
• Name+domain pattern waterfall with MX validation
• Website crawl emails (not just patterns)
• Bulk people/domains input → dataset out
• Role-account-aware confidence labels (candidate / mx_only / public_listing)
• No LinkedIn scrape, no breach corpora, no bundled paid enrichment keys

What it deliberately does not do

• No Hunter / Apollo / paid enrichment APIs
• No SMTP RCPT probing (Apify blocks outbound port 25; would require a buyer-supplied external verifier)
• No LinkedIn scraping, no credential stuffing, no breach dumps
• Pattern results are labeled candidate / mx_only — never claimed deliverable
