Apollonator is a Golang utility that uses the Apollo.io API to retrieve a person's email and job title. By reading in a list of names and an organization from a text file, it is able to return corresponding emails and job titles. This utility enables the enumeration of target email addresses without interacting with the target's infrastructure.

An optional feature allows the retrieved information to be saved into an Excel file for later use.

Clone the repository, navigate to the 'Apollonator' directory, and build the program:

git clone https://github.com/loosehose/apollonator.git
cd Apollonator
go build

Before running the program, acquire your apollo.io API key and specify your organization name in the config.yml file. You can create as many accounts as you want for free and add multiple API keys in the config.yml file. Apollonator will adjust the default sleep based on this.

apollonator:
  api_keys:
    - "FirstAPIKey"
    - "SecondAPIKey"
    - "ThirdAPIKey"
    # Add more keys as needed
  organization: "Github"
  email: true
  title: true

Note: sometimes you really need to use that searching mechanic on Apollo because the organization name may be slightly different than anticipated.

Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your Apollo.io API key and "YOUR_ORGANIZATION_NAME" with your organization's exact name. Set the email and title fields to true or false based on your requirements.

./apollonator
                  
                   =@@#                 
                  +@@@@%.               
                 *@@@@@@@:   .....      
                #@@@@@@@@@-  :---       
              .%@@@@@@@@@@@=  ::        
             :@@@@@@-.%@@@@@*           
            -@@@@@@:   *@@@@@#          
           =@@@@@%.  -  +@@@@@#         
          *@@@@@#  .#@*  =@@@@@%:       
         #@@@@@*  .%@@@%. :@@@@@@-

[-c|--config] is required
usage: apollonator [-h|--help] -c|--config "<value>" [-e|--excel] [-n|--names
                   "<value>"] [-s|--sleep <integer>]

                   

Arguments:

  -h  --help    Print help information
  -c  --config  Import the config.yml file with updated information.
  -e  --excel   Save the results to an excel file.
  -n  --names   Input a list of names.
  -s  --sleep   Specify sleep delay in seconds.. Default: 18

You can run the program with the following command:

./apollonator -n /path/to/users.txt -c ./config.yml -e

The -c or --config option specifies the configuration file. The -n or --names option specifies the text file that contains the list of names to be looked up. Each line of the file should contain a first and last name separated by a space. If you want the results saved in an Excel file, add the -e or --excel option. The -s or --sleep option specifies the delay between each request. 18 is the default. You probably shouldn't change this number or Apollo's API will put you in time out. If you use multiple API keys from different accounts (wink wink), the default sleep will be adjusted. For instance, if you have two API keys, the sleep will default to 9 seconds.

The utility prints the first name, last name, and requested email of each person in the provided names file. If the -e option is used, this data is saved into an Excel file named "apollonator_{organization}.xlsx", where "{organization}" is replaced with the name of your organization. There is regex in place for edge cases for organizations such as O'Reilly.

The Excel file contains a sheet named "Employee Info" with columns for First Name, Last Name, Organization, Email, Domain (extracted from the email), and Title (if requested). If the file already exists, new data is appended.

If you want to copy the output without the logging, simply change the following line (and rebuild):

// current
log.Info().Msgf("%s %s %s", firstName, lastName, response.Person.Email)

// updated
fmt.Printf("%s %s %s", firstName, lastName, response.Person.Email)

Let's say you have a user named Jane Smith Johnson. While this name may be within the Apollo database, it is wise to create three names from this: Jane Smith Johnson, Jane Smith, and Jane Johnson to ensure you get a match. This edge case, as well as a few others, will be fixed in future updates, hopefully. For now, Apollonator will look for Jane Johnson only in this case.
