Email Extractor - Crawl Any Website and Extract Email Addresses

Extract every email address from any website automatically. Crawls pages, parses body text, and captures mailto: links. Returns structured data with domain, source page, and generic vs. personal classification.

What does Email Extractor do?

Point it at any website URL and it will crawl up to 1,000 pages, extracting every email address it finds. It filters out junk (minified JS artifacts, image filenames, placeholder emails) and returns clean, deduplicated results. Each email includes which pages it was found on and whether it's a generic address (info@, contact@) or likely a real person.

Key features:

• ✅ Crawls multiple pages deep — not just the homepage
• ✅ Finds emails in body text AND mailto: links
• ✅ Filters junk automatically (JS artifacts, placeholders, image filenames)
• ✅ Classifies generic vs. personal emails
• ✅ Configurable depth, page limit, and domain scope

How much does it cost?

• Pricing: Pay per result — $1 per 1,000 emails found
• Typical use: Scanning a 50-page website costs ~$0.05

Input example

{
    "startUrls": ["https://example.com"],
    "maxPages": 100,
    "maxDepth": 3,
    "sameDomainOnly": true
}

Output example

{
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "domain": "example.com",
    "localPart": "john",
    "foundOnPages": 3,
    "firstFoundOn": "https://example.com/team",
    "isGeneric": false,
    "scrapedAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00.000Z"
}

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
startUrls	array	Yes	—	URLs to start crawling from
maxPages	integer	No	50	Maximum pages to crawl (1-1000)
maxDepth	integer	No	2	How many links deep to follow (1-10)
sameDomainOnly	boolean	No	true	Stay on the same domain or follow external links
excludePatterns	array	No	['privacy','terms','cookie','legal']	URL patterns to skip

Use cases

• Lead generation: Build prospect email lists from company websites
• Agency outreach: Find decision-maker emails for cold outreach
• Data enrichment: Add email data to existing company records
• Competitive research: Discover which contacts competitors make public

Tips for best results

1. Start with the company's main URL — the crawler will find /about, /team, /contact automatically
2. Increase maxDepth to 3-4 for larger sites with deep navigation
3. Set sameDomainOnly: false cautiously — this can find partner/vendor emails but dramatically increases crawl time
