Carrd Email Scraper

Carrd Email Scraper - extract public freelancer and portfolio emails from Carrd sites

The Carrd Email Scraper collects publicly indexed contact emails from Carrd one-page sites: freelance portfolios, designer resumes, indie-hacker landing pages, musician press kits, coach bios and small-business micro-sites.

You supply keywords, an optional location and a list of email domains. The Carrd Email Scraper builds domain-scoped Google queries against carrd.co, parses each result block and writes every matching address into a structured dataset.

There is no login, no Carrd API, no headless browser and no cookies. This Carrd email extractor reads only what Google has already indexed publicly.

Carrd is a strong source because a one-page site exists to be contacted. Most parsed rows carry a site identity and a usable profile URL, and because every free Carrd site gets its own subdomain the Actor recovers jane from jane.carrd.co as the username.

Agencies, recruiters, no-code tool vendors, hiring managers and partnership teams use the Carrd Email Scraper for contact discovery at a scale manual browsing cannot match.

Features of the Carrd Email Scraper

Everything below is implemented in the Carrd Email Scraper today. No roadmap items, no aspirational claims.

Feature	What it means in practice
Google site: search automation	Every query is scoped to carrd.co, so results stay on-platform
Subdomain handle recovery	The site subdomain becomes username, rebuilt into a carrd.co profile URL
Query expansion	Base, quoted and intitle: variants plus one variant per query modifier
Freelance-tuned modifiers	Defaults are email, contact, inquiries, hire, work with me
Domain-filtered extraction	Only emails on your customDomains list are kept
Global deduplication	Each unique address reaches the dataset exactly once across all queries and pages
Obfuscation-aware parser	Understands name [at] domain [dot] com, name (at) domain, name @ domain.com, domain .com
Unicode normalisation	Handles zero-width characters and the full-width at sign
Junk filter	Rejects placeholders such as 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 result block
Concurrency control	An asyncio worker pool runs queries in parallel with a shared stop signal on maxEmails
Retry logic	Up to 3 attempts per page with exponential backoff and a fresh proxy session per request
Block detection	CAPTCHA, "unusual traffic" and consent pages are detected and retried, never scored as empty
Re-queue pass	Blocked or failed queries are retried once more at the end of the run
Resumable state	Progress persists in the key-value store, keyed by a hash of your input
Structural parsing	Result blocks are located via the <h3> title, not by Google's CSS class names
Fallback parser	A Google markup change degrades to "emails without account details", not "no emails"
Streaming dataset writes	Leads appear in the dataset immediately, so exports can begin mid-run

How the Carrd Email Scraper works

The Carrd Email Scraper is a search-results crawler. It never opens a carrd.co site and never submits a contact form.

1. Read input. Keywords, location, email domains, page caps and concurrency are validated first.

2. Build queries. Queries use the site: operator, for example: site:carrd.co freelance designer "@gmail.com" "Lisbon".

3. Expand queries. With expandQueries on, each keyword and domain pair is issued as a base query, a quoted variant, an intitle: variant and one variant per entry in queryModifiers. Base queries always run first.

4. Fetch pages. The Carrd Email Scraper fetches result pages asynchronously with aiohttp through the Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy, paginating up to maxPagesPerQuery.

5. Parse result blocks. The parser locates the <h3> title, then the smallest surrounding block, so titles, snippets and site labels stay attached to the correct record.

6. Extract and normalise. A domain-filtered regex pulls candidates from the block text, normalises them, and removes junk, tails and boundary mismatches.

7. Deduplicate and store. Every new address is deduplicated globally and pushed straight into the Apify dataset as structured data.

The Carrd Email Scraper run summary logs pages fetched, blocked pages, retries and emails per page, so you can judge a keyword set on evidence.

What data does the Carrd Email Scraper extract?

Each row is one email paired with the site metadata Google exposed alongside it.

You get the address, the matched domain, the site or account label, a parsed name, the subdomain handle and profile URL, a cleaned description snippet and full provenance.

Provenance is the underrated part. The keyword and query fields tell you which phrasing surfaced this site, which is exactly what you tune on the next lead generation run.

Because every Carrd site sits on its own subdomain, the Carrd Email Scraper resolves username and rebuilds profileUrl as https://<handle>.carrd.co/ on the large majority of parsed results.

How to use the Carrd Email Scraper

Step 1 - use job-title language. Carrd titles read like Jane Okafor - Freelance Brand Designer. Keywords such as freelance designer, UX writer, video editor, photographer or music producer match how people actually title a one-page site.

Step 2 - pick email domains that fit independents. @gmail.com covers most solo freelancers. Add @outlook.com or @proton.me when you want broader coverage.

Step 3 - start small. Run the Carrd Email Scraper with maxEmails at 20 to 50 to confirm the keyword set matches the seniority and niche you want.

Step 4 - keep the freelance-tuned modifiers. hire, work with me and inquiries are literally the section headings people put on a Carrd portfolio.

Step 5 - use location more freely here than elsewhere. Freelancers often state a city on a portfolio page, so location filtering is more productive on Carrd than on most platforms.

Step 6 - clean before you send. Filter out rows where possiblyTruncated is true, then put the remaining Carrd Email Scraper results through your normal email-verification step.

Use cases for the Carrd Email Scraper

Use case	Who runs it	Typical keywords
Freelance talent sourcing	Agencies, studios and hiring managers	freelance designer, video editor, copywriter
Recruiting and candidate pipelines	Recruiters and in-house sourcers	portfolio, product designer, front end developer
No-code and SaaS prospecting	Founders selling tools to indie makers	indie hacker, no code, landing page

Carrd sits at the point where somebody has decided to be findable but has not yet built a full website, so the Carrd Email Scraper surfaces a lot of early-stage independents.

Creators who chose a link hub instead of a one-page site are better covered by the Linktree Email Scraper, and creators who monetise directly show up in the Ko-fi Email Scraper or the Gumroad Email Scraper.

Why choose this Carrd Email Scraper

Manually collecting freelancer contacts means searching, opening a site, hunting for the contact block, copying an address and repeating. The Carrd Email Scraper automates that loop and returns a deduplicated dataset.

Every row is auditable. The query and keyword fields show exactly how a lead was found, so weak keyword sets are easy to prune.

The extraction layer is deliberately conservative. Junk filtering, boundary-correct domain matching and soft-wrap repair mean far fewer garbage rows to clean downstream.

Long Carrd Email Scraper runs survive interruption. State persists in the key-value store and saves fire on Apify's PERSIST_STATE, MIGRATING and ABORTING events.

Worked example: a freelance video-editor bench

Your agency needs 200 freelance video editors it can brief on short notice.

Set keywords to ["video editor", "motion designer", "after effects"], customDomains to ["@gmail.com"], location to "United Kingdom", countryCode to "GB" and maxEmails to 200.

The Carrd Email Scraper issues base, quoted and intitle: variants plus one query per modifier, paginating each independently and streaming leads as they are found.

Export the Carrd Email Scraper dataset to CSV, remove possiblyTruncated rows, sort by keyword to see which discipline yielded best, then import the rest into your talent database.

Limitations you should know before running

The Carrd Email Scraper is deliberately transparent about its boundaries. Read these before planning a large data collection run.

Only publicly indexed emails. The Carrd Email Scraper returns addresses that already appear in Google's index. Sites that hide contact behind a form only, with no visible address, will not surface.

Google's per-query ceiling. A single query caps out at roughly 300 results. Query expansion exists to work around that ceiling, which is why it defaults to on.

possiblyTruncated. When Google's snippet ellipsis touches an address, this field is true and the email may be incomplete. Verify those rows before sending.

Apify GOOGLE_SERP proxy required. The Carrd Email Scraper cannot run without Apify proxy credentials that include the GOOGLE_SERP group.

Free-plan cap. Running the Carrd Email Scraper on a free Apify plan limits results to 100 emails per run. Paid plans are uncapped.

Handle availability. username and profileUrl are populated only when Google's result exposes a Carrd subdomain. Carrd performs well here, but some rows will still carry accountName and fullName with an empty username and profileUrl, which is a Google limitation, not a bug.

No guaranteed volume. Carrd Email Scraper yield varies with keywords, domains and location. No result count is promised.

The Carrd Email Scraper is not affiliated with, endorsed by or officially supported by Carrd.

FAQ about the Carrd Email Scraper

What is the Carrd Email Scraper?

It is an Apify Actor that extracts publicly indexed contact emails from Carrd one-page sites by running domain-scoped Google searches and parsing the resulting search-result blocks.

Does the Carrd Email Scraper open the actual Carrd site?

No. It never loads a carrd.co page, never runs JavaScript and never submits a contact form. It reads Google's indexed titles, snippets and site labels only.

How does it get the username?

Each Carrd site lives on its own subdomain, so the Carrd Email Scraper takes jane from jane.carrd.co as the username and rebuilds profileUrl from it.

Does it find sites on custom domains?

No. Queries are scoped to carrd.co, so a Carrd site published on its owner's own domain is outside the search scope.

Why is username empty on some rows?

Google does not always print the subdomain in the result. Those rows still carry accountName and fullName, but username is null and profileUrl is empty.

What does possiblyTruncated: true mean?

Google's snippet ellipsis touched the address, so it may be cut off. Verify those rows before contacting anyone.

How many emails will one run of the Carrd Email Scraper return?

maxEmails accepts 1 to 10000, but free Apify plans are capped at 100 emails per run and paid plans are uncapped. Real volume depends on keywords, domains and location.

Is a proxy required?

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

Should I leave expandQueries on?

Almost always. Google returns roughly 300 results per query, and expansion multiplies your reachable surface through base, quoted, intitle: and modifier variants.

Is location worth using on Carrd?

More than on most platforms. Freelancers frequently state a city on a portfolio page, so a location phrase narrows the Carrd Email Scraper output without destroying recall.

What happens if my run is interrupted or migrated?

State persists in the key-value store keyed by a hash of your input, with throttled saves plus saves on PERSIST_STATE, MIGRATING and ABORTING, so an interrupted run resumes instead of restarting.

Can I email everyone in the dataset immediately?

Treat the Carrd Email Scraper output as raw lead data. Deduplication is automatic, but verification, consent and compliance with GDPR, CAN-SPAM and Carrd's terms remain your responsibility.
