Patreon Email Scraper

An Apify actor that scrapes email addresses from Patreon based on search keywords. It's designed for lead generation, market research, and connecting with creators.

Key Features

• Keyword Search: Finds Patreon pages and emails using a list of keywords (e.g., ["john", "marketing"]).
• Location Filtering: Optionally narrows results by geographic location.
• Domain Targeting: Filters results to specific email domains (default is @gmail.com).
• Proxy Support: Configurable proxy usage to handle rate-limiting during large-scale scraping.
