    Default Can someone code a POF scraper to extract signup emails from profiles?

    I'd be interested. I've heard of bots that scrape them from Twitter profiles, so I thought it might be possible for POF or OKCupid. PM details if possible.

    making a bot to scrap isn't too hard i could easily do this, but the only issue is like everyone else has said i've never seen any visible emails on pof.

    I could code up something nice that uses real browsers, multi-threaded w/ proxy support. But yeah, I can't see any way to harvest emails from profiles.

    just scrape all the usernames and add @gmail @ymail @aol etc to em. I'd bet atleast 10-20% are the same handles that people use for their e-mail.

    POF doesnt allow you to use the same username as your email
    IE. bob22@yahoo.com cannot use bob22 as the username
