If you only need to pull emails for a one-off campaign, paying $49+/month to Hunter or Apollo is wasteful. This actor charges only for what you extract.

What You Get

• Domain → list of verified email addresses
• Inferred name + title for each email (where on-site / signature data exists)
• Email pattern detection (e.g., {first}.{last}@company.com)
• Source URL for each email
• Confidence score per email
• Department classification (sales / support / executive / generic)
• MX / catch-all detection flag
• Plus: link to LinkedIn profile when discoverable

Use Cases

• Outbound SDR teams — pull 1,000 target-account emails per campaign
• Founders bootstrapping — find decision-makers without paying Apollo $49/mo
• Agency cold email — research a target's email patterns before personalized outreach
• Recruiters — find hiring managers at target companies
• PR pitching — find press contacts on outlets' domains
• Lead enrichment — append emails to a list of company domains
• Investor research — find IR / CFO contact for diligence calls

Quick Start

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/company-email-finder").call(run_input={
    "domains": ["stripe.com", "vercel.com"],
    "maxEmailsPerDomain": 50
})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row["domain"], row["email"], row.get("name"))

Pricing

Pay-per-event — only pay for emails you actually extract.

• Actor Start: $0.00005 per GB
• Result (email): $0.005 per item

1,000 emails = $5. Hunter charges $49/month minimum just to access bulk search.

Agentic payments (AI agent buyers welcome)

This actor supports autonomous payment via Skyfire — AI agents (Claude Desktop, OpenCode, Cursor, Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK) can discover, fund, and invoke it without a human-in-the-loop credit card flow.

Agents using Apify's MCP server can find this actor by searching for B2B email finder, sales prospecting emails, or Hunter.io alternative and pay via a Skyfire PAY token (minimum $5 prefund). The existing pay-per-event pricing applies unchanged — the agent funds a token, runs the actor at the published per-result rate, and unused balance returns to the wallet on expiry.

Compatible agent frameworks:

• Apify's official MCP server (mcp.apify.com)
• Claude Desktop with Apify MCP integration
• OpenCode + Apify MCP
• OpenAI Agents SDK + Skyfire toolkit (via Composio)
• Vercel AI SDK + Skyfire toolkit (via Composio)

No code changes needed on the actor side — the integration is fully on Apify's infrastructure. AI agents discover via allowsAgenticUsers=true filter on Apify's store API.

FAQ

Q: Are emails verified? Each email gets a confidence score and a catch-all flag. For SMTP-level deliverability, pipe results through the Email Validator actor.

Q: What's the hit rate per domain? Typical 30–80% — depends on how public the company is about its team. Bigger companies score higher.

Q: Can you find a specific person's email? You can pass a name + domain — the actor will infer using the company's pattern and validate format.

Q: Output formats? JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, RSS, XML — Apify dataset standard.

Q: Is this GDPR / CCPA compliant? You're extracting publicly-listed B2B contact data. GDPR allows B2B outreach with legitimate-interest basis; CCPA exempts B2B contacts. Always honor unsubscribes.

Q: Rate limits? Apify proxy management handles everything. No setup required.

Q: Why pay-per-result instead of subscription? Hunter / Apollo subscriptions waste money when you only need bursts. Pay-per-result scales with usage, not seats.

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform

If you only need the data once a quarter, you only pay once a quarter. If you scale to millions of records, the unit cost stays the same.
