25 new scrapers in one month. No, that's not a typo. 🚀

The store nearly doubled. LinkedIn Search, Zillow, Crunchbase, Similarweb, Facebook Ad Library and 20 more joined in September, and the store now counts 80 scrapers. Most of the new ones need no login and no account to risk.

On the app side, your emails check themselves now. Every scraper that collects emails can verify them automatically, in the same run. And the MCP server went open source, with 22 tools.

Let's get into it. 👇
