Hey! Email scraping tools work by crawling websites and extracting anything that looks like an email address. They use regex (regular expressions) to identify patterns like name@domain.com. Some tools also use APIs to pull data directly from platforms.
But yeah, not all websites are scrape-friendly. Some use techniques like obfuscation (messing up the email format) or require login access. Legality-wise, it’s a bit of a minefield. If you’re scraping for personal use and not spamming, you’re probably fine.
For tools, check out AeroLeads or Phantombuster. Both are solid and have free trials.
