How to scrap emails from websites

This workflow shows how to quickly build an Email scraping API using n8n.

Email marketing is at the core of most marketing strategies, be it content marketing, sales, etc. As such, being able to find contacts in bulk for your business on a large scale is key. There are available tools available in the market that can do this, but most are premium; why not build a custom one with n8n?

Usage

The workflow gets the data from a website and performs an extraction based on the date around on the website

  1. Copy the webhook URL to your browser
  2. Add a query parameter eg ?Website=https://mailsafi.com . This should give you a URL like this {{$n8nhostingurl/webhook/ea568868-5770-4b2a-8893-700b344c995e?Website=https://mailsafi.com
  3. Click on the URL and wait for the extracted email to be displayed. This will return the email address on the website, or if there is no email, the response will be "workflow successfully executed."

Make sure to use HTTP:// for your domains

Otherwise, you may get an error.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/2134/2134.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
