Extract Email Addresses from Websites
Use this feature when you know the exact website or list of websites from which you want to extract email addresses.
Click Start Search, enter the starting URL or paste your list of URLs, adjust the search options, and launch the scan. The Email Extractor will crawl the site according to your settings and collect the data you need.
Website Search Options
- Scan Depth – Defines how many link levels to follow. 1 scans only the homepage; 2 includes all pages linked from it, and so on.
- Only This Domain – Restricts crawling to the entered domain only.
- Only Subfolders – Limits the scan to a specific folder, e.g., http://domain.com/folder/.
- Improved Page Loading – Recommended for scanning a few high-value sites. Disable for large-scale searches to increase speed.
- Human Emulation – Loads pages in the built-in browser and simulates user actions. Increases accuracy but slows scanning.
- Threads – Sets how many pages are processed simultaneously. Higher numbers use more RAM (recommended max: 50).
- Data Type – Choose to extract emails, phone numbers, and/or Skype IDs.
Advanced Options
- Website Scan Limit – Set the maximum number of pages or emails per website.
- Process File Types – Specify which file formats to download and analyze during scanning.
Login & Search Form
Use this option for sites that require login, such as forums or social networks. Enter the site URL, log in, select the starting page, then click Start Search after the page loads.
Directory Scan
Ideal for scanning business directories. Enter the directory URL, set scan depth for both the directory and linked company sites, choose your options, and start the search.
If directory links follow a numeric pattern (e.g., companyid=100 to companyid=805), use the Generate Links feature to create all URLs automatically.
Manual Mode
If automatic scanning doesn’t work, use Manual Mode. Browse sites in the built-in browser, and the software will capture emails in real time. Click Save Emails when done.
Extract from URL List
Paste a list of URLs directly into the Websites field, set Scan Depth to 1 in Options, and start the search to extract data from those specific pages only.
Saving Results
Click Save to open the export wizard. Select the data columns you need (e.g., only Email), click Next, choose the file name and format, and save your results.
