Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

If you’re looking for a **Crunchbase email scraper**, a **Crunchbase lead email extractor**, or **Crunchbase contact email finder**, this actor is built for the practical job-to-be-done: turn Crunchbase-related signals into outreach-ready contact emails—quickly and at scale. Whether you’re a marketer, recruiter, founder, or data enthusiast, you can use this tool as a **company email scraping from Crunchbase** workflow to save hours of manual research. --- ### Why choose Crunchbase Email Scraper - Fast, Advanced and Cheapest? ✅ | Feature | Benefit | | --- | --- | | ✅ All-in-one email extraction from Crunchbase | Quickly collect contact emails tied to your chosen keyword searches | | ✅ Keyword + email-domain filtering (e.g. `@gmail.com`) | Focus results on the inbox domains you actually want for better lead quality | | ✅ Location support | Narrow results to a specific geography when you need region-specific outreach | | ✅ Reliability improvements for long runs | Includes resilience patterns like retries, progress saving, and stopping rules | | ✅ Structured dataset output | Produces a clean table of scraped leads you can export and analyze right away | | ✅ Built for scale runs with clear limits | Uses a controllable `maxEmails` limit to manage runtime and results | --- ### Key features 🚀 - 📌 **Targeted Crunchbase email scraping**: Uses your `keywords` to guide email discovery and extraction from publicly available sources - 🎯 **Custom email domains support**: Limit results to domains you provide via `customDomains` (for example `@gmail.com`) - 🌍 **Location filtering**: Add a `location` filter to refine outreach targeting by region - 🛡️ **Resilient long-run behavior**: Saves progress and stops cleanly when configured limits or result conditions are met - 🔄 **Avoids duplicate emails**: Tracks `seen_emails` so the same email isn’t pushed multiple times in a run - 💾 **Real-time dataset pushing**: Each found lead record is pushed immediately so you don’t lose work during interruptions - 📊 **Controlled runtime with `maxEmails`**: Stops once enough unique emails are collected (and on free runs, applies a cap) --- ### Input Provide input via an `input.json` file. Example structure: ```json { "keywords": ["manager", "founder"], "location": "Austin, TX", "customDomains": ["@gmail.com", "@yahoo.com"], "maxEmails": 50 } ```` #### Input Fields | Field | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `keywords` | ✅ Yes | A list of keywords or queries to search for (for example: roles like “manager” or “founder”). | | `location` | ❌ No | Location to filter search results.

This helps you focus leads by inbox type. | | `maxEmails` | ❌ No | Maximum number of unique emails to collect. The actor stops when this limit is reached (if results don’t fill the target, it may stop earlier). | *** ### Output The actor saves results to an Apify dataset in JSON format. Each lead is pushed as a separate record. Example output record: ```json [ { "network": "Crunchbase.com", "keyword": "manager", "title": "No title", "description": "No data", "url": "No URL", "email": "example@gmail.com" } ] ``` #### Output Fields | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `network` | string | Source network label for each record (`Crunchbase.com`). | | `keyword` | string | The keyword used for this email discovery run. | | `title` | string | A short title extracted from the source listing (falls back to `No title`). | | `description` | string | Text snippet/description used for email extraction (falls back to `No data`). | | `url` | string | The URL associated with the listing (falls back to `No URL`). | | `email` | string | The extracted email address. | > Export formats: After the run, you can download/export the dataset from Apify (commonly as JSON/CSV via the dataset UI). *** ### How to use Crunchbase Email Scraper - Fast, Advanced and Cheapest (via Apify Console) 1. **Open Apify Console**\ Go to the [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com) and sign in. 2. **Find the actor**\ Search for **Crunchbase Email Scraper - Fast, Advanced and Cheapest** and open the actor page. 3. **Go to the INPUT section**\ Paste your settings into the input form or upload an `input.json` payload. 4. **Set your keywords**\ Add the roles/queries you want to find emails for in the `keywords` array (this field is required). 5. **Optional: refine results**\ Use `location` for geographic filtering, and `customDomains` to focus on inbox domains like `@gmail.com`. 6. **Set your limit**\ Use `maxEmails` to cap how many unique emails you want.

It extracts email addresses from publicly available sources associated with your provided `keywords`, with optional filtering by `customDomains` and `location`. Each result is pushed into the dataset as a record containing `email` plus related context fields like `keyword`, `title`, `description`, and `url`. #### ✅ How do I get better results with this Crunchbase email scraper?

The actor tracks `seen_emails` and skips emails already collected, so each unique email is pushed only once per run. #### ✅ What happens if I set `maxEmails` too high? The actor collects unique emails until it reaches `maxEmails` or until it runs out of results. If fewer unique emails are available, the run may stop with fewer than your requested target. #### ✅ Is there a limit on free runs? Yes. When running on a free plan, a maximum limit is applied: **100 emails maximum**. Paid runs remove this limitation. #### ✅ Can I use it for CRM or email outreach workflows? Yes.
