help with scrapping

I don't think you will find a free site since bots always are costly. If you have some budget I would recommend Apify it costs 30 bucks a month and gets you very very far. If there is no budget you could build a scraper on ur own with puppeteer or playwright (you can vibecode that fairly easy in probably under 10 prompts) but be careful when using ur own machine if you try to scrape any bigger site you might get ur ip blacklisted.

My thought exactly, because the free part is not going to do much.

There are thousands of databases of emails with sending features why would you want to scrape it from zero?

can you give a few examples of these thousands of databases? are they free of cost?
 
If you try registering even 10 accounts from the same location, Telegram will flag your IP with a flood wait and instantly ban the batch. Doing 10,000 is suicide without a serious proxy network.

You need custom registration software that generates unique device footprints (app_id and app_hash) for every single session, paired with rotating mobile proxies. But your biggest bottleneck isn't the IPs, it's the phone numbers. If you use cheap, public virtual numbers for this, the entire 10k batch will be banned within 24 hours. You need a private SMS activation API and a massive budget just for the registration costs alone.
 
If you want to scrap a small number of data like few Hunderad List then you can use Claude Cowork , I did for a list of 100 Dentiest data in NY so it pulled that also added the decession maker email and linkedin link some were correct some were not but Good Option to use.

2nd I Created a Scraper using Claude Code Local Hosted and used that for extracting some data, Just Need to put Serach Terms / Category for Which i need the data like Lawyers in UK and it pulls the data from SERP, Name of Sites, Email available on Site but those emails are 99% the general emails not the decession makers emails so not worth sending email on them but it could be optmized. All that done by Vibe Coding so you can explore this Worth Testing
 
If you are on a strict $0 budget, stop looking for free scraping websites and use a combination of free browser extensions and "Google Dorking" instead. First, install a free Chrome extension like Instant Data Scraper or WebScraper.io, search your target niche on Google Maps or local business directories, and let the extension instantly extract names, websites, and phone numbers into a CSV file. Next, to get direct emails without paying for expensive databases, leverage Google's own search engine by typing specific search strings like site:[linkedin.com/in/](https://linkedin.com/in/) "CEO" AND "New York" AND "@gmail.com". You can then use a free online text email extractor tool to pull all the public contact info directly from the search results—costing you absolutely nothing but a little bit of time.
 
For zero-budget B2B contacts, @hexagonal's right — Apollo/Instantly/Clay free trials get you further than building your own scraper for that volume. Build-your-own only pays off once the offer's validated and you need volumes the SaaS tiers can't hit.

On the B2C side, careful — scraping personal data from LinkedIn or social platforms torches accounts fast and most of the cheap email-extractor tricks broke years ago. Tighter ICP usually beats more scraping.
