I have been asked to gather up all the email addresses from my local chamber of commerce's website. How does google scrape a website for email addresses? Or is there a good generic way?
 
Write a program to crawl the webpages and parse out any valid email addresses in the html (this isn't particularly easy)?

Ask the Chamber of Commerence either for read access to their database or a list of emails (if you're friends with them)?

Copy pasta it yourself?
 
you either do it yourself (or contact the chamber), or you write a program to do it, which possible if you have knowledge to start with otherwise it's impossible.
How many addresses are we talking about?
 
Did a google search for "online email parser".

Clicked first link.

In separate tab, pulled up local CoC site. Went to Contact Us page. Ctrl-A (select all), Ctrl-C (copy to clipboard), went back to Email Parser site, Ctrl-V (paste).

Clicked Extract Emails - grand total under one minute 🙂
