Our Email Extractor API is designed for small and big businesses that need an efficient Web API to extract emails. It is secure, fast, and easy to use when you want to extract email, get email information, or extract attachments.

The Email Extractor API can decode emails and extract emails with attachments. These emails can be parsed by its individual parts such as the name and email address of the sender, name and email address of the recipient, body of the email, subject, etc.

The Web API can merge the emails and their attachments into a single PDF document. The email to PDF conversion’s supported source files are .EML and .MSG.

Aside from email parsing and email to PDF conversion, it also has a standalone email attachment extractor that separates the attachments from the email and returns them as downloadable files.
