Lemon8 Email Scraper

Lemon8 Email Scraper: public creator email extraction from Lemon8

The Lemon8 Email Scraper is an Apify Actor that finds publicly indexed email addresses attached to Lemon8 creators and posts. It runs Google site: queries against lemon8-app.com, then parses the returned search results for contact details.

Set expectations first. Lemon8 is a newer platform with a much smaller indexed footprint than Instagram or TikTok, so a Lemon8 Email Scraper run returns lower volume than you would get from a mature network.

What the Lemon8 Email Scraper does surface is worth having. Lemon8 skews toward lifestyle, beauty, food, travel and wellness creators, and the platform's culture of posting brand-collab and PR-email guides means contact addresses do appear in publicly indexed post text and profile bios.

Lemon8 is a ByteDance app with heavy TikTok crossover, so pairing this Lemon8 email extractor with the TikTok Email Scraper and the Instagram Email Scraper usually gives the same creators at far higher volume.

Scope: what this Actor can and cannot do

It can	It cannot
Read emails printed in indexed Lemon8 post text and profile snippets	Open the Lemon8 app or read in-app content
Restrict collection to domains you choose, e.g. @gmail.com	Log in, use a Lemon8 API, or bypass any login
Return creator metadata plus the exact query that found the lead	Access DMs, saved posts or follower lists
Deduplicate every address globally across the run	Guarantee any particular number of leads

There is no browser, no JavaScript rendering, no cookies and no authentication anywhere in the Lemon8 Email Scraper. Every lead comes from public Google search results, which is why the Lemon8 Email Scraper is quick and inexpensive to run across a wide keyword list.

Key features of the Lemon8 Email Scraper

Feature	What it means in practice
Google site: targeting	Queries are scoped to lemon8-app.com
Query expansion	Base, quoted and intitle: variants plus one variant per query modifier
Creator-tuned modifiers	Ships with email, contact, business inquiries, collab, booking, dm
Domain filtering	Only emails on your customDomains list are collected
Global deduplication	Each address is written once per run, across all queries and pages
Email normalisation	Handles name [at] domain [dot] com, name (at) domain, name @ domain.com, domain .com, zero-width characters and the full-width ＠
Junk filter	Rejects email@, yourname@, test@, xxx@ and single-character locals
Boundary-correct matching	@gmail.com will not match inside @gmail.company or @gmail.com.br
Soft-wrap repair	Discards a hit that is only the tail of another email in the same block
Concurrency	An asyncio worker pool runs queries in parallel with a shared stop signal
Retry logic	Up to 3 attempts per page, exponential backoff, fresh proxy session per request
Block detection	CAPTCHA, "unusual traffic" and consent pages are retried, not treated as empty
Resumable state	Saved to the key-value store on PERSIST_STATE, MIGRATING and ABORTING
Fallback parser	A Google layout change degrades to "emails without account details", not zero results

The Lemon8 Email Scraper runs base queries first, so the cleanest matches land in your dataset before expanded variants begin. Everything above is shared engine behaviour, configured here with Lemon8's domain, handle pattern and modifiers.

How the Lemon8 Email Scraper works

The pipeline has six stages:

1. It reads your input: keywords, location, email domains and limits.
2. It builds Google queries with the site: operator, for example site:lemon8-app.com beauty creator "@gmail.com" collab.
3. It fetches Google result pages through the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy using async aiohttp requests.
4. It parses each result block structurally — locating the <h3> title, then the smallest surrounding block — rather than depending on Google's CSS class names.
5. It extracts emails from the block text with a domain-filtered regular expression.
6. It deduplicates globally and pushes each lead into the Apify dataset immediately.

Because it works on search results rather than the app, the Lemon8 Email Scraper is not a browser-based crawler. Pagination means walking Google's result pages up to your page cap.

Input fields

Input to the Lemon8 Email Scraper is plain JSON. Only keywords is required.

Field	Type	Default	Description
keywords	array (required)	["creator", "lifestyle"]	Search terms: niche, content vertical or role
location	string	""	Optional location phrase added to every query
customDomains	array	["@gmail.com","@yahoo.com"]	Only emails on these domains are kept; the @ is optional
maxEmails	integer 1-10000	20	Stop after this many unique emails
countryCode	string	""	Two-letter country for the search proxy (US, GB, JP, TH...)
expandQueries	boolean	true	Search each keyword x domain pair in several phrasings
queryModifiers	array	["email","contact","business inquiries","collab","booking","dm"]	Extra words combined with each keyword
maxPagesPerQuery	integer 1-50	30	Pagination cap per query
maxConcurrency	integer 1-20	5	Parallel queries

JSON input example for the Lemon8 Email Scraper

{
  "keywords": ["skincare creator", "food blogger", "outfit inspo"],
  "location": "Los Angeles",
  "customDomains": ["@gmail.com", "@outlook.com"],
  "maxEmails": 100,

Lemon8's strongest markets are the US, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia, so countryCode changes which indexed pages the Lemon8 Email Scraper is shown.

Output schema and dataset

Every dataset item the Lemon8 Email Scraper produces has the same 14 fields, so the output schema imports cleanly into a CRM or spreadsheet.

Field	Meaning
network	Platform name — always Lemon8
keyword	The keyword that produced the lead
query	The exact Google query used
title	Raw result title
accountName	Account label Google prints
fullName	Display name parsed from a profile-style title; empty for post captions
username	URL-safe handle when Lemon8 exposes one; otherwise null
profileUrl	Canonical https://www.lemon8-app.com/@{username} URL when a handle is known; otherwise empty
url	Direct Lemon8 post link when exposed, else the profile URL
description	Bio or caption snippet, cleaned of labels and engagement counters
email	Lower-cased email address
emailDomain	The matched domain, e.g. @gmail.com
possiblyTruncated	true when Google's snippet ellipsis touched the email
foundAt	ISO 8601 UTC timestamp

Example output record

A realistic Lemon8 Email Scraper row, taken from an indexed post where the creator published a collab address:

{
  "network": "Lemon8",
  "keyword": "skincare creator",
  "query": "site:lemon8-app.com skincare creator \"@gmail.com\" collab \"Los Angeles\"",
  "title": "My PR & collab email template | Lemon8",
  "accountName": "mayaskinnotes",
  "fullName": "Maya",
  "username": "mayaskinnotes",
  "profileUrl": "https://www.lemon8-app.com/@mayaskinnotes",
  "url": "https://www.lemon8-app.com/@mayaskinnotes/7412908455129301045",
  "description": "Skincare + routines. Collabs: maya.skin.collabs@gmail.com",
  "email": "maya.skin.collabs@gmail.com",
  "emailDomain": "@gmail.com",
  "possiblyTruncated": false,
  "foundAt": "2026-08-31T11:26:09.774Z"
}

Where Google prints only a post title with no handle, the Lemon8 Email Scraper leaves username as null and profileUrl empty while still recording accountName.

Export the Lemon8 Email Scraper dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read the structured data over the Apify API while the run is still going.

Use cases for the Lemon8 Email Scraper

Tips for better results

Four adjustments do most of the work when tuning the Lemon8 Email Scraper.

Search content verticals, not generic roles. skincare, outfit inspo, meal prep and nail art match how Lemon8 posts are actually titled far better than influencer.

Include collab, PR, and business inquiries in queryModifiers. Lemon8 creators use that exact vocabulary when they publish an address, so the Lemon8 Email Scraper matches more of them.

Keep expandQueries on. Google caps a single query at roughly 300 results, and query expansion is how the Lemon8 Email Scraper works around that limit on an already-small index.

Increase maxPagesPerQuery before increasing maxConcurrency. Depth beats parallelism when the index is thin.

Limitations of the Lemon8 Email Scraper

These constraints are structural. Read them before planning a campaign around the output.

• Lemon8 is a newer platform with a smaller indexed footprint, so the Lemon8 Email Scraper returns lower volume than mainstream social Actors.
• Only emails that are already publicly visible in Google's index can be found. Nothing private or in-app is accessed.
• Google caps a single query at roughly 300 results, which is exactly why query expansion exists.
• username and profileUrl are only populated when a handle appears in Google's result. Post-only results carry accountName but an empty handle. That is a Google limitation, not a bug.
• possiblyTruncated: true means Google's snippet ellipsis may have cut the address — verify before sending.
• The Lemon8 Email Scraper requires the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy and cannot run without Apify proxy credentials.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 100 emails per run; paid plans are uncapped.
• Results vary with keywords, domains and location. No volume is guaranteed.

FAQ

How many results should I expect from the Lemon8 Email Scraper?

Modest. Lemon8's public index is small relative to TikTok or Instagram, so a broad run typically lands in the tens rather than the hundreds, and a narrow niche may return only a handful. Treat the Lemon8 Email Scraper as a targeted supplement to a bigger sourcing stack.

Does the Lemon8 Email Scraper access private or member-only data?

No. It never logs in, never uses a Lemon8 API and never opens the app. It reads publicly indexed Google search results only. DMs, saved collections and follower lists are entirely out of reach.

Which domain does the Lemon8 Email Scraper search?

lemon8-app.com.

Why do some rows have no username?

Because Google printed a post title without exposing a handle. The Lemon8 Email Scraper then leaves username as null and profileUrl empty while still recording accountName.

Can the Lemon8 Email Scraper target a specific country?

Yes. Set countryCode to a two-letter code such as US, JP or TH, and optionally add a location phrase to every query.

Does the Lemon8 Email Scraper need a proxy?

Yes. The Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy is required; without Apify proxy credentials no search results can be fetched.

What does possiblyTruncated mean?

Google's snippet ellipsis touched the address, so it may be incomplete. Verify those rows before adding them to an outreach sequence.

Can I resume an interrupted Lemon8 Email Scraper run?

Yes. Progress is stored in the key-value store, keyed by a hash of your input, and survives migrations and aborts.

How do I improve Lemon8 lead generation output?

Search content verticals, add non-Gmail domains, keep query expansion on and raise maxPagesPerQuery. Widening the query surface matters more than raw concurrency here.

Is this affiliated with Lemon8 or ByteDance?

No. The Lemon8 Email Scraper is an independent Apify Actor with no affiliation, endorsement or official relationship with Lemon8 or ByteDance.

Are the collected emails verified?

No. The Lemon8 Email Scraper performs contact discovery, not deliverability verification. Run the export through your own verification tool first.

Can I call the Lemon8 Email Scraper from the API?

Yes. Start a run with your JSON input and read the dataset back through the Apify API like any other Actor.
