Frequently Asked Questions

What is Social Email Extractor?
Please see this page - or more specifically the first part under the sections 'What is SEE?' and 'How it Works'.

How fast is SEE?
Social Email Extractor has a variety of factors that affect speed. This includes how popular your niche is, the websites you're scraping from, etc. On average, SEE can extract about 500 emails per minute. However, extraction speeds of up to 1000 emails per minute are not uncommon.

What websites can SEE extract from?

Can I get Facebook emails through Social Email Extractor?
Yes and no. You can extract literally tens of thousands of facebook user emails however SEE doesn't hack into facebook accounts as a means of scraping. It only gathers what is publicly displayed by facebook users.

Can I extract only hotmail, gmail or yahoo email addresses?
Yes. SEE has a feature called Search Criteria which will allow you to specify the SMTP provider that you wish to gather emails for. There are pre-defined lists of Search Criteria built into the program or you create your own.

How does it work?
Social Email Extractor has a unique scraping eninge unlike any other email extractor. It was designed for speed and accuracy. Your keywords will have a direct relevance against the page being scraped. Users have reported a very high return in the quality of emails being extracted. It works by matching your keywords against the website(s) you've selected in conjunction with the Search Criteria. That's all the details I can give for now.

Can I extract emails that are not from the big SMTP providers?
Yes. SEE has a filter that you can enable to disclude emails from hotmail, gmail, yahoo – or whatever you wish. Tuning this feature will allow you to gather emails that are not from major SMTP providers. These emails are referred to as General Interest emails.

Can SEE clean my email lists after they've been extracted?
Yes. Social Email Extractor has a built-in tool known as the Cleaning Room. Through this tool there are several options to clean your email lists. More information about the cleaning room can be found here:

How many emails can I extract?
Social Email Extractor has a maximum email count of 500,000 emails in one session. A limit was set not due to the fact that SEE couldn't extract any more but rather due to instability with systems handling such large email list files.

My niche is "X". Can I extract emails specific to my niche?
Yes. Social Email Extractor can be used to focus on a specific niche or can be used in a more broader scope to return emails in general.
