This actor doesn't add fees beyond platform usage. See Apify Pricing for plan details. ## ❓ FAQ Does this collect private data? No. It collects public profile information displayed on Apify. Will I always get an email? Only if the developer publicly lists an address (e.g., in profile or readme). Many profiles don't include email. Can I filter by actors? Yes—use keywords in query (e.g., "linkedin", "tiktok", "crawler", "rust", "golang"). ## 📥 Integrations * Export as JSON or CSV. * Pull directly into your apps/warehouse via the Apify API. * Use webhooks or Zapier/Make for your no-code integrations. ## 🆘 Support Feature request or custom fields?
