Email Scraper not Working

Post by shaner4042 »

Hi,

It seems there is a problem with the email scraper in Twitterdub

Everyday I scrape twitter URL lists of about 6000 profiles for emails, which would consistently result in around 10% profiles returning emails (around 600 results).

As of yesterday these lists are only returning a handful of emails (less than 1%).

I am certain this isn't just an anomaly, as I have tried scraping old lists of mine which previously yielded 10% emails, only to find they are returning just a few results now as well.

Any reason the scraper finding less emails?

Just bumping as I believe it may have been missed due to many other posts after mine. Thanks

Are you using proxies for email scrapes? Are they working?

Maybe your input profiles are different quality (perhaps you are scraping many fake profiles)?

Prepare a list of know profiles with emails. Load that in and confirm the results are correct.
i.e. a list of 10 profiles, 6 with emails 4 without, and confirm the results has 6 emails




Regards,
Martin

I have tried w/ and without proxies. Am using working private proxy.

My selected account is also active and doesn't have any bans or restrictions on it. Just not returning emails anymore.

I have followed your instruction and made up a notepad file of known twitter URL's that do in fact have email in their bio. I have tried the email scraper on this list, and it returns 0 emails, despite all 5 URL's having one.

I have sent this file to your support email so you can test yourself if you wish.
