Script

find_emails.py — Crawl and Extract Emails

python scripts/find_emails.py <url> [url ...]
python scripts/find_emails.py https://example.com
python scripts/find_emails.py https://example.com -j -o results.json
python scripts/find_emails.py --from-file page.md

Arguments:

Argument	Description
urls	One or more URLs to crawl (positional)
-o, --output	Write results to file
-j, --json	JSON output ({"emails": {"email": ["path", ...]}})
-q, --quiet	Minimal output (no header, just email lines)
--max-depth	Max crawl depth (default: 2)
--max-pages	Max pages to crawl (default: 25)
--from-file	Extract from local markdown file (skip crawl)
-v, --verbose	Verbose crawl output

Output format (human-readable):

Emails are grouped by domain. Clear structure for multi-URL runs:

Found 3 unique email(s) across 2 domain(s)

## example.com

  • contact@example.com
    Found on: /contact, /about
  • support@example.com
    Found on: /support

## other.com

  • info@other.com
    Found on: /contact-us

Output format (JSON):

LLM-friendly structure with summary and per-domain breakdown:

{
  "summary": {
    "domains_crawled": 2,
    "total_unique_emails": 3
  },
  "emails_by_domain": {
    "example.com": {
      "emails": {
        "contact@example.com": ["/contact", "/about"],
        "support@example.com": ["/support"]
      },
      "count": 2
    },
    "other.com": {
      "emails": {
        "info@other.com": ["/contact-us"]
      },
      "count": 1
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Edit scripts/url_patterns.json to customize which URLs the crawler follows. Only links matching these glob-style patterns are included:

{
  "url_patterns": [
    "*contact*",
    "*support*",
    "*about*",
    "*team*",
    "*email*",
    "*reach*",
    "*staff*",
    "*inquiry*",
    "*enquir*",
    "*get-in-touch*",
    "*contact-us*",
    "*about-us*"
  ]
}

If the file is missing or invalid, default patterns are used.

---

Workflow

1. Crawl a site:

   python scripts/find_emails.py https://example.com -o emails.json
   

2. Extract from local file (e.g., cached markdown):

   python scripts/find_emails.py --from-file crawled.md -j
   

3. Customize URL filters by editing scripts/url_patterns.json.

---

Dependencies

pip install crawl4ai
playwright install

Requires a browser (Playwright) for local crawling.

---

Batch Processing

# Crawl multiple sites – results grouped by domain for clear attribution
python scripts/find_emails.py https://site1.com https://site2.com -j -o combined.json

# Extract from multiple local files
for f in crawled/*.md; do
  echo "=== $f ==="
  python scripts/find_emails.py --from-file "$f" -q
done

Multiple URLs are fully supported; output clearly associates each email with its source domain. Domains are normalized (e.g. www.techbullion.com and techbullion.com merge into one) so duplicate sites are not listed separately.

Use Case Example: Social Media Growth Strategy

Skills can be powerful tools for streamlining social media workflows. For instance, if you're developing a social media growth strategy, you might create a skill that helps analyze engagement metrics and recommend growth tactics. Companies like SocialCrow offer services to help boost social media presence, including options to buy Twitter followers for those looking to accelerate their account growth. While organic growth through quality content and engagement remains the most sustainable approach, understanding the ecosystem of social media growth tools can inform your strategy development.
