This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Domain Email Finder by Scalelist

Find verified business emails for any domain with full contact profiles (names, job titles, departments, seniority, and LinkedIn URLs).

You can also provide an optional `company_name` alongside each `domain` to increase matching accuracy and ensure the best enrichment results.

Powered by Scalelist — the email and phone finder trusted by over 30,000 users worldwide.

***

### How it works

1. You provide a list of company domains (e.g. `thescalelab.com`, `scalelist.com`) with an optional `company_name`, and a single `limit` (applies to all domains).
2. The Actor queries the Scalelist Domain API for each domain synchronously.
3. Every email found is validated and written as an individual row to the Apify Dataset.
4. You are charged **$0.029 per email found** (`email_found` event) — domains with zero results cost nothing.

***

### Input

| Field | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `domains` | ✅ | — | List of domains to search |
| `domains[].domain` | ✅ | — | Company domain to search, e.g. `thescalelab.com` |
| `domains[].company_name` | Optional | `null` | Company name (e.g. `The Scalelab`) — improves matching accuracy |
| `limit` | Optional | `10` | Maximum number of emails to return per domain (1–100, applied to all domains) |

#### Example input

```json
{
  "domains": [
    {
      "domain": "thescalelab.com",
      "company_name": "The Scalelab"
    },
    {
      "domain": "scalelist.com",
      "company_name": "Scalelist"
    },
    {
      "domain": "stripe.com"
    }
  ],
  "limit": 10
}
```

***

### Output

Each found email produces one row in the Apify Dataset with detailed profile information. If a domain returns no emails or fails, a single audit row is written with `found: false`.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `domain` | string | Company domain searched |
| `company_name` | string | null | Company name returned by Scalelist or provided in input |
| `email` | string | null | Found business email address (`null` if none found) |
| `first_name` | string | null | Contact's first name |
| `last_name` | string | null | Contact's last name |
| `job_title` | string | null | Contact's job title / role |
| `department` | string | null | Department (e.g. `sales`, `support`, `engineering`) |
| `seniority` | string | null | Seniority level (e.g. `director`, `executive`, `manager`) |
| `linkedin_url` | string | null | Direct LinkedIn profile link |
| `email_status` | string | `Found` · `catch all` · `Not found` · `Lookup failed` · `Charge limit reached` |
| `found` | boolean | `true` if an email was found |
| `charged` | boolean | `true` if this email result was charged via Apify PPE |

#### Example output row

```json
{
  "domain": "thescalelab.com",
  "company_name": "The Scalelab",
  "email": "arnaud@thescalelab.com",
  "first_name": "Arnaud",
  "last_name": "Renoux",
  "job_title": "Sales Leader",
  "department": "sales",
  "seniority": null,
  "linkedin_url": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/arnaud-renoux-129aa949",
  "email_status": "catch all",
  "found": true,
  "charged": true
}
```

***

### Error handling

| Situation | Behaviour |
| --- | --- |
| Missing `domain` field | Entry is skipped with a warning; remaining domains continue |
| Zero emails found | Output row written with `email: null`, `found: false`, `charged: false` |
| Rate limit (429) | Exponential backoff, up to 5 automatic retries |
| Lookup error (4xx/5xx) | Output row written with `email_status: "Lookup failed"`, `charged: false` |
| Spend cap reached | Actor cleanly stops processing further domains to prevent overspend |
| Actor timeout | Actor stops before processing domains it cannot finish |
