Email Account Checker

Check email addresses in bulk for real account registration on Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, and Mail.ru.

The actor processes 2,000 to 100,000 addresses per run. Larger inputs are deduped, then trimmed to the first 100,000 unique normalized addresses. Each address returns one of three statuses: registered, unregistered, or unknown.

Use it to clean lists before campaigns, find which addresses belong to real, active accounts, validate signups, and keep CRM email data fresh.

Check up to 100,000 email addresses per run for real account registration in one result file.

Quick Start

Preview sample output without charges:

{
  "testMode": true,
  "emailAddresses": ["john.doe@gmail.com"]
}

Check a direct list:

{
  "testMode": false,
  "emailAddresses": [
    "john.doe@gmail.com",
    "jane@outlook.com"
  ],
  "onlyRegistered": false
}

Upload a CSV file and return only registered addresses:

{
  "testMode": false,
  "csvFile": "uploaded-file.csv",
  "csvEmailColumn": "email",
  "onlyRegistered": true
}

Input

At least one of emailAddresses or csvFile is required.

Parameter	Type	Description
testMode	boolean	Returns sample output without checking real addresses or charging credits.
emailAddresses	array	Email addresses to check. Real runs require at least 2,000 supported-provider addresses; the first 100,000 are used after dedupe.
csvFile	string	Uploaded CSV or Excel file containing email addresses.
csvEmailColumn	string	Column name or 0-based index of the email column. Auto-detected if left empty.
onlyRegistered	boolean	Output only addresses where status is registered.

CSV/Excel File Requirements

• Supported formats: .csv, .xlsx
• Delimiters: Comma, semicolon, tab, pipe (auto-detected)
• Column detection: Automatically finds email columns including email, e-mail, and common variations
• No headers? Scans content to find email-like columns automatically

Output

{
  "email": "john.doe@gmail.com",
  "originalInput": "John.Doe@gmail.com",
  "provider": "gmail",
  "isValidFormat": true,
  "status": "registered",
  "isRegistered": true,
  "skipReason": null,
  "checkedAt": "2026-06-16T08:00:00Z"
}

Output Fields

Field	Description
email	Normalized, lowercase email address (null when the input could not be parsed as a valid address).
originalInput	Original value supplied by the user.
provider	Detected provider slug (gmail, outlook, yahoo, icloud, mailru); null for unsupported or invalid addresses.
isValidFormat	Whether the input was recognized as a valid email address.
status	registered, unregistered, unknown, or skipped.
isRegistered	true when a real account exists, false when none found, null when unknown or not checked.
skipReason	Why an address was not checked: unsupported_provider (domain not a supported provider) or invalid_format (not a valid email); null for checked addresses.
checkedAt	ISO timestamp of the check.
isSample	Present and true only in test mode.

Addresses on unsupported domains or that are malformed are returned with status: skipped and a skipReason, never submitted and never charged, so nothing in your input silently disappears. Only valid supported-provider addresses count toward the per-run minimum.

Pricing

The actor uses pay-per-event pricing with one email_checked event per checked address.

Current rates per 1,000 checked addresses:

Plan	Price per 1,000
No subscription / Bronze	$4.99
Silver	$4.29
Gold and above	$3.99

Duplicates are removed before checking, so you pay for unique addresses checked.

Notes

• unknown means the registration status could not be determined for that address; it still counts as a checked address.
• Uploaded CSV/XLSX files can use common email columns such as email or e-mail; the column is auto-detected.
• onlyRegistered filters output rows, but billing still applies to every checked address.
