# Find Bulk Emails

> Find professional email addresses in bulk from names and companies — up to 5,000 searches per batch with Enrow Email Finder

<Badge color="green">POST</Badge>

```
https://api.enrow.io/email/find/bulk
```

Run multiple email searches in a single request. Up to 5,000 searches per batch. Authenticate every request with your [API key](/authentication) in the `x-api-key` header. To find a single email instead, use the [Find Single Email](/api-reference/email-finder/find-single) endpoint.

<Info>
  Enrow performs **determinist verifications** that verify even catch-all emails. No debouncer needed.
