FAQ — Ghost Email Scraper ❓

How does the Ghost Email Scraper identify data?

Ghost Email Scraper uses the keywords you provide (optionally combined with location and customDomains) to find relevant Ghost profiles, then extracts email addresses and associated profile context into the dataset.

What Ghost profile types can I scrape?

You can target public Ghost profiles that contain email addresses that are publicly visible. The actor focuses on extracting emails and related metadata from what is publicly accessible.

What does “customDomains” do?

customDomains limits the extracted email addresses to specific email domains (for example, @gmail.com and @yahoo.com). This is useful for tighter lead generation tool workflows where you only want certain provider types or formats.

Why scrape Ghost for contacts?

Ghost hosts creators and businesses that may display contact emails publicly. Automating website email harvesting helps you scale contact discovery and speed up web scraping workflows that would otherwise take too long manually.

How much does the Ghost Email Scraper cost?

This actor is designed for pay-per-result style usage in Apify runs. Use maxEmails to cap the run and control how many emails you attempt to collect.

How does the Ghost Email Scraper help my business?

It turns Ghost profile data into a clean dataset for email list building, CRM enrichment, and outreach readiness. Since results are structured, you can connect them to downstream workflows like bulk email verification and data enrichment.

What challenges should I expect when using the Ghost Email Scraper?

Not every Ghost profile will include a public email address, so output volume depends on your keyword targeting and customDomains. If you’re not getting enough results, try wider keyword coverage or add additional relevant email domains.

How do I choose a high-performing Ghost Email Scraper setup?

Start with strong, role-focused keywords (e.g., manager, founder), choose customDomains that match your outreach criteria, and set maxEmails based on your budget and desired coverage. Then review the dataset and iterate your keyword/domain strategy for better yield.

Run Memory

Skip keywords already scraped in a previous run - the actor keeps a persistent record of every keyword it finishes, in a named key-value store that survives between runs. Turn this on and a repeat run silently drops the keywords it has already covered, so a scheduled job over a fixed list only pays for new ground.

A keyword is identified by the keyword plus the set of email domains it was searched against, so re-running fitness against a new domain list is correctly treated as new work rather than a duplicate.

Reset keyword history - wipe that record before the run starts, so everything counts as new again.

Max emails per keyword - cap how many results any single keyword may produce before the actor moves on to the next one. Stops one broad term from consuming the entire run budget. 0 means no per-keyword limit.

These sit alongside the existing address-level deduplication: Skip previous runs prevents re-pushing an individual mailbox, while Skip duplicate keywords prevents re-running the search at all.
