How to Use the Email Verify APIHow to Use the Email Verify API
Email verify API is a tool for checking whether an email address is valid or not, in real-time. You can use it to improve your lead capture forms, reduce bounces and boost email deliverability. But it’s also a useful tool for identifying spam traps, disposable emails and other risky submissions to your database, which can damage your email marketing campaign or result in user data breaches and account takeovers.
Our email verification API can be used to verify individual emails, but is ideally suited for verifying batches of email addresses in a single request, and to provide human-readable reports of the results. The report schema can be customized to match your specific requirements.
Email Verify API: Streamlining Email Validation for Developers
The results returned by our email validation API are in JSON format. Each result contains a summary of the check and a URI that pinpoints precisely where the problem was found in the submission. The error code is followed by a description of the issue.
The id of the completed validation job is also provided, for easy reference. The completion callback supports idempotency, meaning that the same request can be invoked again later without fear of accidentally performing the same validation work twice.
The overall score reflects the probability that the given email is valid, and indicates that the address can be used to communicate with the provided domain. The score is based on several criteria, such as evaluating the structure of the email, ensuring that there is a ‘@’ symbol at the beginning, and examining the availability of DNS MX records for the domain.
