Apify email verification with BillionVerify
Apify is a leading web scraping and automation platform that extracts data at scale from websites and online sources. When your Apify actors collect email addresses, BillionVerify verifies each one before it enters your outreach stack or database.
Why verify before the send
Web-scraped email lists are notoriously noisy — they contain role addresses, defunct inboxes, honeypots, and disposable accounts. Sending to unverified scraped data destroys deliverability and can get your domain blacklisted. BillionVerify cleans every address Apify extracts before it reaches your CRM or email tool.
Ready-to-use n8n workflow
Import this workflow into n8n — it verifies every address with BillionVerify before Apify sends, so only deliverable contacts are emailed. Install the BillionVerify community node first, then add your API key. Adapted from this n8n template

How it works
- 1
Run your Apify actor to extract emails from the target sources.
- 2
Connect Apify to n8n using the Apify node, or use Integrately to bridge the two services.
- 3
Add the BillionVerify community node as the next step, feeding in each scraped email address.
- 4
Review the verification result — valid, invalid, disposable, catch-all, or role — for each address.
- 5
Route clean, deliverable addresses to your CRM, email tool, or database; discard or quarantine the rest.
When to use this
Scrape and verify leads in one pipeline
Chain Apify's scraping actor with a BillionVerify step in n8n or Integrately. Emails are extracted and verified in the same automated flow, so only deliverable addresses land in your lead database.
Enrich and validate contact lists
Use Apify to gather contact data from directories or company sites, then run each discovered email through BillionVerify to confirm deliverability before any outreach campaign begins.
Filter out disposable signups from scraped forms
When monitoring competitor signup flows or gathering market intelligence with Apify, BillionVerify identifies throwaway addresses so your analysis reflects only real user engagement.
FAQ
Why should I verify emails scraped by Apify instead of sending directly?
Scraped email lists often contain 20-40% invalid addresses. Sending to them spikes your bounce rate, triggers spam filters, and risks getting your sending domain blacklisted.
Can I verify thousands of emails extracted by Apify in one batch?
Yes. BillionVerify's REST API supports bulk verification, so you can submit large arrays from an Apify run and process results asynchronously before storing them.
Does BillionVerify work with Apify's cloud runs?
Yes. You can trigger BillionVerify API calls from within an Apify actor's code, or connect both services through n8n or Integrately workflows that react to actor completion events.
What is a catch-all address and should I include it?
A catch-all domain accepts all email addresses regardless of whether the mailbox exists. BillionVerify flags these so you can decide — many senders exclude them to avoid unnecessary bounces.
