Stop opening websites one by one just to find an email.

Give it your company websites. It finds the public business emails hiding on them. You pay only when a checked email is found.

You already have the companies.

Maybe you have 100 websites from a prospecting database. Maybe 1,000 domains from Google Maps. Maybe a list you've built yourself.

The websites are there.

But the email you need may be buried on the homepage, a Contact page, an About page, the legal notice, the team page — or several clicks away.

This Actor searches those pages for you.

For example, a website can return:

newviewroofing.com              → info@newviewroofing.com
dallasroofer.com                → info@dallasroofer.com
clcroofing.com                  → info@clcroofing.com
cabinet-dentaire-compagnone.fr  → contact@cabinet-dentaire-compagnone.fr
cabinetdentairemermoz.fr        → secretariat@cabinetdentairemermoz.fr
cnpandh.co.uk                   → contact@cnpandh.co.uk

The Actor tells you where the email was found and checks its syntax and the domain's mail-routing infrastructure.

No guessing. No employee database. No opening websites one by one.

Give it the websites. Get back the emails those websites publicly expose.

Why you pay only when an email is found

Most website scraping workflows charge you for processing the website whether or not there is anything useful on it.

This Actor is different.

If a website contains no suitable public email, it can return:

no_email_found

It does not generate the successful site-with-email event.

When a checked email is found, the Actor pushes the billable email result.

That means your spend is tied to the outcome you actually want:

a website with a usable public email.

You are not paying the Actor's successful email-result fee simply because a website was visited and contained no email.

Your first email list in 3 minutes

1. Click Try for free.
2. In Company websites, paste your domains or URLs, one per line.
3. Set Number of websites to the number you want to process.
4. Choose whether to Include Gmail & other public email addresses.
5. Set Emails per website if you want more than one address.
6. Click Start.
7. When the run finishes, open the Output tab and export your results.

Start with 10–20 websites.

You will immediately see how many businesses in your particular dataset publish an email and where those emails are located.

The Actor looks where a human would look

A homepage-only email scraper misses a surprising number of addresses.

This Actor starts with the homepage and then looks for relevant internal pages.

It can follow links such as:

• Contact
• Contact Us
• Contactez-nous
• About
• À propos
• Team
• Équipe
• Legal
• Legal Notice
• Mentions légales
• Privacy
• Booking
• Appointment
• Rendez-vous

It can also check relevant fallback paths such as:

/contact
/contact-us
/contactez-nous
/mentions-legales
/legal
/privacy
/about
/a-propos
/team
/equipe

The objective is simple:

If the company has publicly published an email somewhere on its website, look for it before giving up.

It prefers the email you actually want

A website can contain several email addresses.

For example:

info@company.com
contact@company.com
sales@company.com
support@company.com
someone@gmail.com

The Actor evaluates the candidates and prefers company-domain business addresses and useful generic or role-based mailboxes.

Typical preferred addresses include:

• info@
• contact@
• sales@
• commercial@
• support@
• service@
• devis@
• accueil@

The result includes an emailQuality classification:

• preferred
• good
• acceptable

Want Gmail and Outlook too?

Some small businesses publish a Gmail, Outlook, Orange or other public email address instead of using their own domain.

You can decide whether to include them.

Turn Include Gmail & other public email addresses on to include publicly listed addresses from providers such as:

• Gmail
• Outlook
• Hotmail
• Yahoo
• Orange
• Free
• SFR
• iCloud
• Proton
• GMX
• and other supported public email providers

Turn it off when you want company-domain emails only.

What happens to every website?

Not every website produces an email.

The Actor keeps track of what happened.

Status	Meaning
found	A suitable public email was found
no_email_found	The website was accessible, but no suitable email was found
blocked	The website blocked access
unreachable	The website could not be reached
invalid_website	The supplied website could not be processed

This matters when you're processing a large list.

You can distinguish:

"There is no email on this website"

from:

"The website could not be accessed."

What each result contains

Field	Content
website	Website supplied as input
finalUrl	Final URL reached after redirects
domain	Website domain
status	Processing result
failureReason	Reason when processing failed
httpStatusCode	HTTP response status
email	Best email found
otherEmails	Additional emails found
emailType	Type of email
emailQuality	Quality classification
emailSourceType	How the email was detected
emailEvidence	Evidence associated with the email
emailCheck	Syntax and mail-routing check
mailRouting	Whether mail-routing infrastructure was detected
foundOn	Page where the email was found
pagesCheckedCount	Number of pages checked
contactPage	Relevant contact page information
contactFormFound	Whether a contact form was detected
checkedAt	Date and time of the check

Emails are found on publicly accessible website pages, including home, contact, legal, about and other relevant pages.

Where the emails come from

The Actor does not guess an email address from a person's name.

It searches the website itself.

An email can be found:

• in visible page content
• in a mailto: link
• on the homepage
• on a contact page
• on a legal page
• on an about page
• on a team page
• on another relevant page discovered while crawling the website

That distinction is important.

You are extracting what the company has publicly published — not guessing what its email address might be.

What "checked" means

The Actor performs two checks on a discovered email.

Email syntax

It checks whether the address has valid email syntax.

Mail routing

It checks whether the email domain has mail-routing infrastructure.

The Actor checks DNS records such as:

• MX
• A
• AAAA

For example:

email: info@example.com
emailCheck: syntax + MX
mailRouting: true

Important

A working mail server does not prove that the individual mailbox exists.

This Actor does not perform SMTP mailbox verification.

So when the Actor says an email has been checked, it means:

valid email syntax + mail-routing infrastructure detected for the domain.

It does not mean:

"we sent a test email and confirmed that the mailbox exists."

One website. Several possible emails.

When a website exposes several addresses, the Actor can return the main email together with additional addresses.

For example:

email: contact@example.com
otherEmails:
  - info@example.com
  - sales@example.com

This gives you more information to work with without having to crawl the website yourself.

For agencies, sales teams and prospecting workflows

This Actor is useful whenever you already have the websites but are missing contact information.

Typical users include:

• Lead generation agencies
• Sales teams
• SEO agencies
• Freelancers
• Consultants
• Local prospecting teams
• Data-enrichment workflows
• B2B researchers

For example:

SEO agency: collect websites of local businesses, then find their publicly listed contact emails.

Sales team: enrich an existing company list before prospecting.

Lead generation agency: turn a list of domains into a structured email dataset.

Local prospecting: process websites collected from Google Maps or business directories.

Google Maps lists work too

If you already have the websites from a Google Maps scraping workflow, you can pass those URLs directly to the Actor.

For example:

https://company-a.com
https://company-b.fr
https://company-c.co.uk

The Actor does not need the company's name.

The website is enough to start the search.

Receive more than one email per website

By default, the Actor can return multiple email addresses when they are found.

Use Emails per website to control the maximum number returned.

This is useful when a company publishes separate addresses for:

• sales
• support
• commercial
• administration
• customer service

If you only want the main contact email, keep the setting low.

Scan deeper when needed

Use Pages to scan per website to control how deeply the Actor searches.

A small website may reveal its email immediately.

Another website may require several pages.

Increasing the page limit gives the Actor more opportunities to find a publicly available email, at the cost of additional processing.

For slow websites, you can also increase the advanced Timeout setting.

Who uses it

Lead generation agencies

Turn a list of company websites into a structured list of public business emails.

Sales teams

Enrich an existing prospect list before starting outreach.

SEO agencies

Find contact addresses for businesses identified during local SEO research.

Freelancers and consultants

Quickly collect contact information from a list of websites without manually opening every site.

Data enrichment workflows

Combine website data with other Apify Actors to build a complete prospecting pipeline.

Input

Field	What it does
websites	Company websites or domains, one per line
maxDomains	Maximum number of websites to process
includeFreemail	Include Gmail, Outlook and other public email providers
maxEmailsPerSite	Maximum emails returned per website
maxPagesPerSite	Maximum pages scanned per website
timeoutSeconds	Maximum processing time for an individual website

The advanced technical settings are grouped separately so that the basic workflow stays simple.

Example

{
  "websites": [
    "https://newviewroofing.com",
    "https://dallasroofer.com",
    "https://clcroofing.com"
  ],
  "maxDomains": 10,
  "includeFreemail": true,
  "maxEmailsPerSite": 3,
  "maxPagesPerSite": 8,
  "timeoutSeconds": 10
}

Output example

{
  "website": "https://newviewroofing.com",
  "finalUrl": "https://newviewroofing.com/",
  "domain": "newviewroofing.com",
  "status": "found",
  "email": "info@newviewroofing.com",
  "otherEmails": [],
  "emailType": "generic",
  "emailQuality": "preferred",
  "emailSourceType": "mailto_link",
  "emailEvidence": "mailto_link",
  "emailCheck": "syntax + MX",
  "mailRouting": true,
  "foundOn": "homepage",
  "pagesCheckedCount": 1,
  "contactPage": null,
  "contactFormFound": false,
  "checkedAt": "2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z"
}

Pricing

The Actor uses pay-per-event billing for websites where a checked email is found.

What	Billing
Website with a checked email	Successful email-result event
Website with no email	No successful email-result event
Blocked website	No successful email-result event
Unreachable website	No successful email-result event

Run a small sample first.

Then you can see how many websites in your own dataset actually produce useful email results before scaling up.

Check the Actor's current pricing panel for the exact event price.

Free usage

Free users can process up to 10 websites per run.

Paid users can process up to the configured maxDomains limit.

This lets you test the Actor on a small list before processing a larger dataset.

Connect it to your tools

Once the Actor has produced the dataset, you can use the results in your existing workflow.

For example:

• Apify integrations
• Google Sheets
• Make
• n8n
• Zapier
• Webhooks
• Your own API workflow
• CRM enrichment workflows

A common workflow is:

Company scraper → Business Email Finder → CRM / Google Sheets → Outreach

You can also call the Actor from your own application using the Apify API.

A simple prospecting workflow

If you are building a B2B prospecting system, the Actor can sit in the middle of the workflow:

Find companies
      ↓
Collect company websites
      ↓
Business Email Finder
      ↓
Public business emails
      ↓
CRM / Google Sheets
      ↓
Sales outreach

This keeps website discovery and email discovery as separate steps.

You can therefore replace the upstream company-data source without changing the email-finding step.

What the Actor does not do

This Actor is focused on public email discovery from company websites.

It does not:

• guess personal email addresses
• guess email patterns
• require a person's name
• access private databases
• bypass authentication
• guarantee mailbox existence
• guarantee email deliverability
• perform SMTP mailbox verification

If an email is returned, it was found in publicly accessible website content that the Actor could process.

Questions

I received fewer emails than I expected.

Check the status field.

Some websites simply do not publish an email. Others may block automated access.

You can also increase maxPagesPerSite to search deeper.

I received no_email_found.

The website was accessible, but no suitable public email was found within the pages the Actor scanned.

Some websites are blocked.

The website prevented the Actor from accessing its content.

This is different from a website that simply has no email.

Can it find Gmail or Outlook addresses?

Yes.

Enable includeFreemail.

Can I search only company-domain emails?

Yes.

Set includeFreemail to false.

Can it find more than one email?

Yes.

Increase maxEmailsPerSite.

Does it verify that the mailbox exists?

No.

It checks email syntax and domain mail-routing infrastructure.

It does not perform individual mailbox verification.

Does it scan the whole website?

It scans the homepage and relevant internal pages up to maxPagesPerSite.

Can I process thousands of websites?

Yes.

For large datasets, test a small batch first and adjust the number of pages and timeout according to the websites you are processing.

Can I use websites from Google Maps?

Yes.

Pass the website URLs extracted from your Google Maps workflow.

Does it work with URLs as well as domains?

Yes.

You can provide:

example.com
https://example.com
https://www.example.com/contact

The Actor normalizes the website and starts the scan from the appropriate domain.

What happens if a website redirects?

The final URL is recorded in finalUrl.

Can it find emails hidden behind a contact form?

The Actor can detect contact forms, but a contact form does not itself provide an email address.

If the website publishes an email elsewhere, the Actor can return it.

What does mailRouting mean?

It means the domain has detectable mail-routing infrastructure through DNS, such as MX, A or AAAA records.

It does not prove that a specific mailbox exists.
