What email and phone data can I extract?
You can create a robot to extract emails or phone numbers that are clearly displayed on a website. This works well when:
The contact information is already visible on the page
You need to organize this information into a structured format
You want to monitor for changes to the displayed contact details
For example, you might build a robot to extract publicly available contact information from a business directory where the information is meant to be accessed.
What data is unavailable to be extracted from Browse AI?
Browse AI isn't designed to:
Search websites to automatically discover hidden contact information
Extract emails or phone numbers from social media profiles
Scrape employee contacts from company websites without permission
Find customer contact details from competitor websites
These limitations exist both for technical reasons and to ensure responsible data practices.
Legal and ethical considerations
When extracting contact information, always ensure you:
Have permission to collect the data
Follow each website's terms of service
Comply with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA
Use the extracted data in accordance with relevant laws
