ArtStation Email Scraper

ArtStation Email Scraper - reach concept artists and 3D artists who are open to work

The ArtStation Email Scraper builds a contact list of digital artists from ArtStation portfolio pages that Google has already indexed. ArtStation is where concept artists, 3D modellers, environment artists, character artists and matte painters keep their professional portfolio. Crucially, many of them publish a commission or freelance address on purpose, because being hired is the point of the portfolio.

That makes the ArtStation Email Scraper a genuinely consensual sourcing tool. Game studios, film and VFX houses, animation teams, outsourcing vendors and indie developers use it to find artists by style and specialism rather than by job board.

Our measured live run was strong: 10 result blocks, 8 rows with identity data, 8 resolvable profile URLs and 10 unique emails. Note the shape of that: the ArtStation Email Scraper found more emails than resolvable handles, because a couple of results carried a published address without exposing a portfolio handle.

How the ArtStation Email Scraper works

The ArtStation Email Scraper never logs into ArtStation, never uses an ArtStation API and never opens a portfolio in a browser. There is no JavaScript rendering, no authentication and no cookie handling.

The run is a structured Google harvest:

1. Read the input: keywords, location, email domains and limits.
2. Build Google queries with the site: operator, for example site:artstation.com "environment artist" commissions "@gmail.com".
3. Fetch result pages through the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy with async aiohttp requests.
4. Parse each result block structurally by locating the <h3> title and the smallest surrounding block.
5. Extract emails from the block text with a domain-filtered regular expression.
6. Deduplicate globally and push each lead to the Apify dataset immediately.

Everything the ArtStation Email Scraper returns comes from publicly indexed search text: titles, snippets and site labels. It does not open the artwork pages, read image metadata or touch anything an artist kept private.

Key features of the ArtStation Email Scraper

Feature	What it does
Google site: scoping	Restricts every query to artstation.com
Query expansion	Base, quoted and intitle: variants plus one variant per modifier; base queries run first
Hiring-focused modifiers	Defaults are email, contact, commissions, freelance, available for work
Email domain filtering	Keeps only addresses on your customDomains list
Global deduplication	One unique email per run across every query and page
Obfuscated address handling	Reads name [at] domain [dot] com, name (at) domain, name @ domain.com, domain .com, zero-width characters and full-width ＠
Placeholder rejection	Filters email@, yourname@, test@, xxx@ and single-character locals
Boundary-correct matching	@gmail.com does not match inside @gmail.company or @gmail.com.br
Soft-wrap repair	Drops a hit that is only the tail of another email in the same block
Structural block parsing	No dependence on Google CSS class names
Whole-page fallback parser	A markup change degrades to "emails without account details", not "no emails"
Block detection	CAPTCHA, "unusual traffic" and consent pages are detected and retried
Retries and re-queueing	Up to 3 attempts per page with exponential backoff and a fresh proxy session; failed queries re-queued once
Resumable state	Key-value store state keyed by an input hash, saved on PERSIST_STATE, MIGRATING and ABORTING
Async concurrency	asyncio worker pool with a shared stop signal on maxEmails
Streaming dataset writes	Rows appear as they are found

The hiring-focused modifier set is what distinguishes the ArtStation Email Scraper from its siblings; commissions, freelance and available for work are the exact phrases artists use when they want to be contacted.

Example output from the ArtStation Email Scraper

[
  {
    "network": "ArtStation",
    "keyword": "environment artist",
    "query": "site:artstation.com \"environment artist\" commissions \"@gmail.com\" \"Vancouver\"",
    "title": "Tomas Reyes - Environment Artist",
    "accountName": "tomasreyes",
    "fullName": "Tomas Reyes",
    "username": "tomasreyes",
    "profileUrl": "https://www.artstation.com/tomasreyes",
    "url": "https://www.artstation.com/tomasreyes",
    "description": "Environment artist, open for commissions. Enquiries: tomas.reyes.art@gmail.com",
    "email": "tomas.reyes.art@gmail.com",
    "emailDomain": "@gmail.com",
    "possiblyTruncated": false,
    "foundAt": "2026-08-31T18:12:09.556Z"
  },
  {
    "network": "ArtStation",
    "keyword": "character concept artist",
    "query": "site:artstation.com \"character concept artist\" \"available for work\" \"@outlook.com\"",
    "title": "Winterhold Project - character lineup",
    "accountName": "Winterhold Project",
    "fullName": "",
    "username": null,
    "profileUrl": "",
    "url": "https://www.artstation.com/artwork/winterhold-lineup",
    "description": "Character concept work. Available for freelance, write to studio.winterhold...",
    "email": "studio.winterhold@outlook.com",
    "emailDomain": "@outlook.com",
    "possiblyTruncated": true,
    "foundAt": "2026-08-31T18:13:41.902Z"
  }
]

The second row shows the pattern behind our measured numbers: an artwork page exposed a contact address but no portfolio handle, so username is null and profileUrl is empty. It is also flagged possiblyTruncated, so verify before sending.

What results to expect from the ArtStation Email Scraper

ArtStation is one of the strong performers in this category. Our measured live run returned 10 result blocks, 8 identity rows, 8 profile URLs and 10 unique emails.

Email density is high because artists publish commission contacts deliberately. Handle resolution is a little lower than email count, because artwork pages sometimes carry an address without exposing the artist's portfolio handle.

Volume from the ArtStation Email Scraper varies with keywords, customDomains, countryCode and location, and no number is guaranteed.

Tips for stronger ArtStation Email Scraper runs

Give the ArtStation Email Scraper discipline and style, not seniority: "hard surface modeller", "matte painter", "stylised character artist", "Blender environment". Those phrases match how artists label their own portfolios.

Keep the default queryModifiers. The ArtStation Email Scraper's commissions, freelance and available for work variants are the highest-signal phrases on this platform. Add location and countryCode when you need artists in a particular time zone for production reasons.

Studios building a wider creative bench often pair this with the SlideShare Email Scraper for pipeline and technical-art speakers and the Blogger Email Scraper for art-blog outreach.

Limitations of the ArtStation Email Scraper

• The ArtStation Email Scraper only finds artists whose email is publicly visible in Google's index; addresses hidden behind ArtStation's own contact form are out of reach.
• Google caps a single query at roughly 300 results, which is exactly why query expansion exists.
• possiblyTruncated: true means Google's snippet ellipsis may have clipped the address; verify before sending.
• username and profileUrl are only populated when a handle is exposed in the Google result. Artwork-page rows often show only a project title, so those arrive with username: null and an empty profileUrl. This is a Google limitation, not a bug.
• An address may belong to a studio or collective rather than an individual artist.
• The Actor 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.

Responsible outreach

Artists who write "open for commissions" are inviting exactly the kind of message you are about to send. Honour that by being specific: name the project, the scope, the timeline and the budget range.

Do not send bulk blasts, honour opt-outs immediately, and respect GDPR and your local marketing rules. The ArtStation Email Scraper is a sourcing tool for real briefs, not a mailing list.

FAQ about the ArtStation Email Scraper

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

Our measured live run returned 10 result blocks, 8 identity rows, 8 profile URLs and 10 unique emails, which is a strong outcome for this category. Your own totals depend on keywords, domains and location, and no volume is guaranteed.

Why did the ArtStation Email Scraper return more emails than profile URLs?

Because some artwork pages publish a contact address without exposing a portfolio handle. The ArtStation Email Scraper keeps the email and leaves username as null.

Does the ArtStation Email Scraper log into ArtStation?

No. It never logs in, never uses an API and never opens a portfolio. All data comes from publicly indexed Google results.

Is it acceptable to contact artists found with the ArtStation Email Scraper?

Where an artist publishes a commissions or freelance address, yes - that is why they published it. Send a specific brief, not a bulk blast, and honour opt-outs.

Can the ArtStation Email Scraper read ArtStation's contact form?

No. Addresses that exist only behind the platform's own contact form are not indexed and cannot be found.

Can I point the ArtStation Email Scraper at a city or country?

Yes. Set countryCode to a two-letter code such as US, CA or GB, and add a location phrase such as "Vancouver" to every query.

Which email domains does the ArtStation Email Scraper collect?

Only those in customDomains. The default is @gmail.com and @yahoo.com, and the leading @ is optional.

What does possiblyTruncated mean?

Google's snippet ellipsis touched the address, so it may be incomplete. Verify those rows before sending a brief.

Does the ArtStation Email Scraper handle obfuscated addresses?

Yes. It normalises [at]/[dot] spellings, (at) forms, spaced @, spaced .com, zero-width characters and the full-width ＠.

Will the ArtStation Email Scraper return duplicates?

No. Deduplication is global across every query and page within a run.

What happens if an ArtStation Email Scraper run is migrated or aborted?

State is persisted in the key-value store keyed by an input hash, with saves on PERSIST_STATE, MIGRATING and ABORTING, so a resumed run continues rather than restarting.

Do I need Apify proxy access?

Yes. The ArtStation Email Scraper requires the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy and cannot run without Apify proxy credentials.

Is there a free-plan cap?

Free Apify plans are capped at 100 emails per run; paid plans are uncapped.
