Email Collector

Helper utility for getting a number of email addresses based on a search request to Google. You may think of it as a search engine for emails.

Installation

Install the gem using the following command:

$ gem install email_collector

Usage

To collect a number of emails email_collector sends a specified search request to Google and parses response pages. You can specify a domain of a specific email provider (e.g. gmail.com, outlook.com) to improve matching. Of course, you should be connected to Internet to be able to send queries to Google.

For example, to get a number of developer emails, you can run

emails = EmailCollector.collect('site:github.com', 'gmail.com')

or

$ irb
require 'email_collector'
EmailCollector.keywords = ['']
emails = EmailCollector.collect('site:moikrug.ru', 'yandex.ru')
=> ["[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"]

You can verify emails further by querring the correspondent mail server.
