About

The Email Extractor from URL is a specialized parsing utility designed for digital marketers, sales development representatives (SDRs), and SEO professionals. Unlike simple regex matchers, this tool employs a multi-layered extraction engine that executes a real-time HTTP request via a CORS proxy to analyze the raw HTML structure of a target webpage.

Accuracy is paramount in outreach. This tool mitigates common false positives (such as image filenames masquerading as emails) and utilizes heuristic logic to identify social media footprints when direct contact methods are hidden. The integrated Deep Scan algorithm recursively identifies and traverses high-probability internal links (e.g., "Contact Us", "Team", "About") to maximize yield from a single entry point.

Formulas

The extraction process follows a strictly ordered pipeline to ensure data integrity and maximize retrieval rates via client-side processing:

{

E_raw ← fetch(Proxy + URL)S_links ← DOMParser(E_raw).querySelectorAll("a[href]")Result = Filter(RegEx(E_raw)) ∪ DeepScan(S_links)

Where the probability P of finding a valid contact on a sub-page is defined by the keyword set K:

K ∈ {"contact", "about", "team", "connect"}

Reference Data

Pattern Type	Regex Logic / Heuristic	Target Match Example

Twitter Handle	`twitter\.com\/[a-zA-Z0-9_]+`	twitter.com/startupname
Facebook Page	`facebook\.com\/[a-zA-Z0-9.]+\/`	facebook.com/businesspage
Recursive Targets	`/contact\|about\|team\|support\|help/i`	/contact-us.html
False Positive Filter	Excludes `.png`, `.jpg`, `.gif`, `@2x`	[email protected] (Ignored)

Frequently Asked Questions

Browsers enforce Same-Origin Policy (CORS), preventing a webpage (this tool) from reading the content of another domain (your target) directly. We route the request through a public CORS proxy (e.g., AllOrigins) which adds the necessary "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" headers, allowing the JavaScript engine to parse the HTML legally.

No. Visiting every link would be slow and behave like a DOS attack. The Deep Scan algorithm strictly filters internal links against a high-intent dictionary (Contact, About, Team, Support). It visits a maximum of 3 highly relevant sub-pages to extract data without overwhelming the target server.

Some websites load email addresses dynamically using JavaScript to prevent scraping, or they obfuscate them (e.g., 'user [at] domain'). This tool parses the static HTML source. If the email is rendered only after user interaction or complex client-side scripts, it may not be visible in the initial fetch.

No. All extraction happens in your browser's memory (Client-Side). No data is sent to our servers. The CORS proxy acts as a pass-through tunnel only.
