Business Email Finder API: the contact behind every listing
A listing gives you a phone number. The business's website gives you the mailbox, the social profiles and often a WhatsApp number. Locomint reads that website for you, on every details call, and returns the contact points as fields on the record. There is no separate product to buy.

How it works
What happens between your request and the response.
Homepage first
The site's homepage is fetched from a datacenter address and parsed for mailto links, plain addresses, social links and WhatsApp links.
One hop to the contact page
If the homepage gave no email or WhatsApp, the contact page is fetched once. Assets and share links are excluded.
Filtered on purpose
Only mailboxes on the business's own domain that look like a role are kept. That keeps the data business contact data, not personal data.
Cached per site
Each host is crawled at most once per 30 days across all customers, which keeps the cost inside one credit.
Pricing
One credit system for every endpoint.
Included in the one credit of every details call. Combine with the Email Verification API to confirm each address before you send.
Questions
Things people ask about the Business Email Finder API.
Why is emails empty for some businesses?
The site publishes no role mailbox, only a form; the page needs JavaScript to render its contacts; or the site refused the fetch with a 403. In the last case website_status is unreachable and the fetch is not retried through another address.
Do you guess email patterns?
No. A guessed firstname@domain is either wrong or a personal mailbox, and both are useless for business outreach. Locomint returns only what the business published.
Can I verify the addresses in the same account?
Yes. POST /v1/emails/verify checks up to 100 addresses per call at one credit each, with mailbox-level SMTP checks where the mail server allows them.
