Email Enrichment

When email enrichment is enabled, lobstr.io will attempt to find email addresses for each profile. Pricing: 9 credits per profile where an email is found. No email found = 0 credits charged. Enriched emails include validation status: valid, invalid, catch-all, etc.
Set scrape_comments to true only if you want users who engaged deeply with the content.
Email enrichment costs 9 credits per profile where an email is found. Disable if you don’t need emails.
Commenters often have higher intent than passive likers - filter accordingly for outreach campaigns.
