contact-finder

Find professional emails and contacts from a name + company/domain. Combines SerpAPI (Google Search) and OpenAI GPT-4o-mini to search, extract, and validate contacts.

Usage

python3 scripts/find_contacts.py --company "Acme Corp" --domain "acme.com" --name "John Doe"
python3 scripts/find_contacts.py --company "Stripe" --domain "stripe.com"
python3 scripts/find_contacts.py --company "OpenAI" --domain "openai.com" --name "Sam Altman" --output json

Options

Output

Returns a list of contacts with:

• email — Found or guessed email address
• linkedin — LinkedIn profile URL (if found)
• title — Job title (if found)
• confidence — high / medium / low

Setup

pip3 install openai requests

Set credentials in environment or edit scripts/find_contacts.py:

• SERPAPI_KEY
• OPENAI_API_KEY

How It Works

1. Search Google via SerpAPI: "name" site:domain email, LinkedIn profiles
2. Generate common email format guesses (firstname@, f.lastname@, firstname.lastname@...)
3. Use GPT-4o-mini to extract/validate emails from search snippets
4. Score confidence based on source (direct find = high, pattern guess = low/medium)
