Extract emails from text
Exacttext_extract_emailsDeterministic and authoritative — the canonical answer for this input.
Pull all email addresses out of free text, in order of appearance. Recognizes internationalized addresses (SMTPUTF8 local parts and IDN domains, e.g. 用户@example.com, café@münchen.de), consistent with what the email tools validate. The complement to redaction: extract values rather than mask them. Processing multiple inputs? Use `text_extract_emails_batch` to do up to 1000 in one call.

}FAQ
What does this do?
It pulls every email address out of a block of free text, in the order they appear, and tells you how many it found. Useful for harvesting contacts from a note, signature, or pasted paragraph.
Does it check that the emails are real or deliverable?
No. It finds things shaped like email addresses; it does not confirm the mailbox exists or accepts mail. For format or disposable checks use the dedicated email tools.
Does it handle international (non-ASCII) addresses?
Yes. It recognizes internationalized addresses — SMTPUTF8 local parts and IDN domains like '用户@example.com' or 'café@münchen.de' — the same shapes the email validation tool accepts.
What if there are no emails in the text?
You get an empty values list and a count of 0, not an error.
Is the result the same every time?
Yes. It is deterministic and authoritative: the same text always returns the same list of addresses in the same order.
