# Clean email lists: duplicates, disposable and invalid addresses

**Use case:** 

Try a six-entry synthetic email list and see syntax, MX/domain, disposable and role-account checks, plus case-insensitive deduplication. Get five unique result rows. No SMTP mailbox checks or messages. $0.30 per 1,000 decisive unique results; unknown results are free and analysis platform usage is included.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/bifras/email-list-cleaner.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
