In this page we want to point out what we believe to be the best software to extract and scrape email addresses. Before seeing the list of these programs or services it is important to understand the type of email addresses you want to capture.
If you are looking for email addresses of companies or businesses or associations, then you could try using programs that can analyze and extract data and emails from directories such as yellow pages (every country has an “official” yellow pages site) or from Google Maps.
If you are also looking for emails from individuals (who still have email addresses published on the web) you could use other types of programs. However, 90% of the emails on the web are email addresses of companies, businesses or professionals. The email addresses of individuals are (rightly) protected and cannot be extracted, unless the owner has given explicit consent to its online publication to receive commercial communications.
