You can scrape emails by iterating through a list of institution by providing an ID range. For example, when the id is 2, it will scrape the email from this page: https://etablissements.fhf.fr/annuaire/hopital-fiche.php?id=2. This method may not be effective as some institutions may not be listed or may no longer be in operation, but you can still scrape many emails by browsing the records by id.
You can specify a range for the IDs to iterate by using the --lower and --upper arguments. The default range is from 0 to 10000.
To iterate through IDs from 3000 to 5000, run python3 main.py --mode 2 --lower 3000 --upper 5000.
You can use the --sleep argument to specify a delay (in seconds) between each scraped page. The default value is 2 seconds.

If an error occurs, you can retry the operation up to three times on the same record with a 10-second delay between attempts.
Use the --retry flag to enable retries. By default, retries are disabled.
For example, you can run python3 main.py --mode 2 --lower 3000 --upper 5000 --sleep 0.2 --retry
