- Tool
scrape_emails_from_website- Cost
- 0.5 credits
- Category
- Website Scraping
- Required input
url- Returns
- Published email addresses found on the site
What it does
- Crawls a company website and extracts every published email address — page text,
mailto:links, and embedded markup. - Covers the homepage plus contact, about, team, support and legal pages.
- Returns generic inboxes —
info@,sales@,support@— far more often than named ones. Plan for that. A named address is a bonus, not the expected result. - Crawling always starts at the site root. A deep link is reduced to its origin, so
https://acme.com/pricing/enterpriseis crawled ashttps://acme.com. You cannot point it at one page. - Takes a website URL or a bare domain.
This is the fallback when there is no LinkedIn URL for find_work_email. Use it when you need any route into a company, not a specific person’s address.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
url | string | Yes | Website URL or bare domain. Reduced to the site root before crawling |

Scrape one site
Scrape emails from acme.com.Run it across a list
Scrape emails from each of these 40 domains. Return one row per domain with
every address found. Do not guess addresses for domains that return nothing.Fall back from a failed person lookup
For anyone in this list where find_work_email returned nothing, scrape emails
from their company website instead and mark those rows as generic.Verify before you send
Verify every address you scraped and drop anything that isn't deliverable.Example prompts
| Ask your client | What you get back |
|---|---|
| ”Scrape emails from acme.com” | Every published address on the site |
| ”Get contact emails for these 40 domains” | One row per domain |
| ”No LinkedIn for these leads — find any company email” | Generic inboxes as a fallback |
| ”Find Jane Doe’s work email at Acme” | Not this tool — use find_work_email |
Best prompting practices
- Expect generic inboxes. Tell your client to label the result as generic so it does not end up in a sequence written to a named person.
- Do not bother passing a deep link. It is reduced to the origin anyway. Pass the bare domain and save the confusion.
- Forbid guessing. Add “do not guess email patterns” to any batch prompt. A fabricated
first.last@company.comlooks exactly like a scraped result and bounces like a fake. - Reach for
find_work_emailfirst whenever you have a LinkedIn URL. It costs 1 credit and returns a named address instead of a shared inbox. - Verify separately. Published addresses go stale. Chain
verify_emailbefore you send.
Output
{
"url": "https://acme.com",
"emails": ["info@acme.com", "sales@acme.com"]
}Credits and limits
0.5 credits per call. Run check_credits (free) before a large batch.
Many sites publish no address at all — they use a contact form instead. An
empty result is a normal outcome, not an error. Try
scrape_phones_from_website
for a switchboard number, or
find_people_within_company
to get a named person you can look up properly.
