Data Mining vs. Scraping Tools - Why Email Extractor Tool Will Get You Nowhere

01/06/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

Email extractor tools are primarily designed to extract specific data from the web. These tools are able to search websites for certain keywords and capture email addresses such as. @domain.com or @domain.com. However, since they are not looking for more information about an email address, their ability to provide more information about an email address is limited.

Data mining tools, on the other hand, take a more comprehensive strategy. They attempt to generate hypotheses and patterns from the collected data to gain a better understanding of the data. Available data mining tools include techniques such as classification, regression, clustering and association analysis. They can also be used to determine the links between email addresses and other information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. In this way, data mining tools can provide much more information than email extractor tools.
