Email and Contact Us Page Scraper ## About the Project This advanced email scraper is designed to crawl websites, identify valid email addresses, and filter out unnecessary or unwanted entries. The tool extracts email addresses from both primary pages and associated contact pages, ensuring comprehensive data collection for targeted outreach or analysis. The project integrates seamlessly with Apify, enabling datasets to be stored and accessed conveniently within the platform for further use. --- ## Key Features - Email Validation: Ensures only valid email formats are captured, reducing data clutter. - Domain Filtering: Automatically excludes irrelevant domains such as test or placeholder emails (example.com, test.com, etc.). - Contact Page Crawling: Identifies links labeled with "Contact," "Hire Us," or similar, then scrapes these pages for additional email addresses. - Seamless Apify Integration: The extracted data is automatically pushed to an Apify Dataset for centralized management. - Robust Error Handling: Handles HTTP errors, DNS lookup failures, and timeouts gracefully, ensuring uninterrupted scraping. - Customizable Settings: Easily adjust concurrency and download delay for optimized performance. --- ## How It Works 1.
