Email Finder

The Email Finder API returns the professional email address of a person from a full name and a company. It costs 1 credit per search, refunded when no email is found.

Read the resultCopy Anchor Link

Poll every 3 to 5 seconds until status is no longer running. The Enrichment overview has a ready-made polling helper.

curl https://api.emelia.io/tools/find/email/6650f1a2b839d80011c5f001 \
  -H "Authorization: $EMELIA_API_KEY"

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "_id": "6650f1a2b839d80011c5f001",
    "fullname": "Claire Fontaine",
    "companyName": "Nexora",
    "companyWebsite": "nexora.io",
    "status": "done",
    "email": "claire.fontaine@nexora.io",
    "qualification": "valid",
    "fallbackFound": false,
    "date": "2026-10-11T08:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

qualification is the verdict of the provider on the address found, for example valid. It is invalid, without email, when nothing was found or when the search timed out.

How long it takesCopy Anchor Link

Most searches end within seconds. When companyWebsite is given and finds nothing, Emelia runs a second pass on the company name alone (fallbackFound tells you it found the email there). Each pass can last about 2 minutes, so a search can take up to about 4 minutes. A timed out search keeps its credit.

Past searchesCopy Anchor Link

Your searches, newest first, with page from 1 and limit (15 by default, 100 at most). Use it to find a result you lost track of rather than paying for the search again.

TipsCopy Anchor Link

• Send the domain. companyWebsite gives better results than the company name alone.
• Do not verify what the Email Finder found as valid: the Email Verifier would bill 0.25 credit for the same answer.
• Polling is free and not counted in the per minute quota.
