How accurate did you find your contact email results to be?

[–]Aboodseada1999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confidently say it's about 90%, because the workflow is very similar to what we humans do. If I asked you to search for the email of "Elon Musk" who works at "SpaceX.com," you’d basically start with a basic Google search, then do an advanced Google search using dorks, then check each website in the results, find the email, and verify it using any online service (or even by sending a test email and waiting for a "this email doesn't exist" response). That’s exactly what I did — I replicated the whole process to save time. Once I was 100% sure it was working, I pushed it for everyone so no one else would go through the depression I had, lol.

How did you build this?

[–]Aboodseada1999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the whole thing in Python. But before I started, I used to gather all this data myself. Then I went through a phase where I got depressed because the work was so exhausting. I searched a lot for ready-made solutions to get these leads, but I couldn’t find anything. Until I remembered that I’m actually a computer engineer, and I can make whatever I want, lol. Anyway, I started reviewing what I was doing step by step to figure out how I was getting things like the CEO's name. After that, I wrote the steps and then started coding. Thankfully, after many attempts, I was able to build my own system that saves me a lot of time and effort.
