Scraping emails from channel about section
Closed
Hey there, I want to scrape emails from About section. I thought this was default.
Accounts display emails in 2 ways.
-
In pain text as part of the channel description on the about page. If an email is listed there it will be included in the results, as will social handles and phone numbers.
-
Behind a "view email" button and captcha. If an email is displayed here, it only shows when a user is logged in, and has completed the captcha and a few hidden checks google performs. It is also limited to showing only a few times per day. Because of these strong restrictions, we have not added this ability. Doing so would require you to put your google account at risk and severely limit the number of results. The risk of losing your account would not be worth the small increase in results.
We have found that a large percentage of accounts do display emails in the description rather than behind the button & even without getting the emails behind the button we are able to get large datasets with emails by using that method.

Hey Tim, appreciate the response! However, the amount of emails in the descriptions is extremely low.
We will be building our scraper with rotating proxies and captcha solvers. If you're interested in using this just contact me. Happy to help out!
We currently have support for rotating proxies.l and can implement captcha solvers. However, you would still need a large number of Google accounts as the emails only show to logged in users.
Happy to discuss further: Tim@jov.ie
