Find a creator's public emails

Beta GET /v1/creators/emails

GET /v1/creators/emails

Email addresses a creator published themselves, each with the URLs where it was seen (extra.email_sources, each typed social_profile, link_in_bio, linked_profile or website_page). Reads the creator's bio and links, the link-in-bio pages they link (Linktree, Komi, Pillar, Lnk.Bio, Linkme and other link hubs), the profiles they link, and up to three websites they declare (homepage and contact pages, robots.txt honoured). Addresses are never guessed or checked by sending mail; kind is business, management or personal when the address itself says so. extra.partial is true when a page failed or was skipped, so an empty result is then not proof that no address exists. Pass a platform and handle, or a profile url.

• Cost: 1 credit
• Status: Beta. Built and tested against recorded responses; the shape may still gain fields.
• Cache: Results are kept up to 30 days; send max_age_days to reuse them for free.
• Timeout: A request still running after about 25 seconds answers 202 with a job to poll (Batch and jobs).

Parameters#

Send at least one of url, handle. If you send several, the first listed is used and the rest are ignored.

Every request also accepts:

• trim: true for a smaller response without null fields and extra.
• raw: true to also get the platform's original object as raw.
• max_age_days: accept a cached result up to this many days old, for 0 credits (Caching).

Response#

A CreatorEmails object in data.

See Data models for every field. The envelope around data is described in Responses.

Errors#

Failures are free: credits_charged is 0. Branch on error.code, never on the message.

Every request can also fail with the account and platform errors listed on the Errors page.

Example error:

{
  "ok": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "not_found",
    "message": "The platform says this profile, post or item does not exist.",
    "retryable": false
  },
  "credits_charged": 0,
  "request_id": "req_c8df66979b928371c67b3116"
}
