Email Account Checker

From Clearpath, creators of Email Finder and Email Validator, with 130,000+ combined lifetime runs across those two actors. Find, validate and check email accounts with the same team.

Why choose this actor?

• Check whether an account is registered. Get a registration result for Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail/Live/MSN, Yahoo, iCloud and Mail.ru addresses. Each checked address returns registered, unregistered or unknown, with the provider and check time.
• Process up to 100,000 addresses together. Upload CSV/XLSX or paste a list. Email-column detection, normalization and duplicate removal prepare the batch for you. Real checks require at least 2,000 unique supported addresses and a paying Apify account.
• Export the registered accounts you need. Turn on onlyRegistered to return just registered addresses, or keep every status for review. Invalid and unsupported addresses are identified as skipped. JSON, CSV and Excel exports fit your existing workflow.

See the output before uploading your list

{
  "testMode": true
}

Open actor input and keep Test Mode enabled to inspect fixed sample records. This preview does not check real addresses or incur email-check charges. For a real batch, turn Test Mode off and upload 2,000–100,000 unique addresses on supported providers.

Registration confirms that an account exists; it does not establish recent activity or inbox deliverability. unknown is an inconclusive check. Filtering to registered accounts does not reduce the number of checks billed. See pricing for current charges.

Quick Start

Preview sample output without checking real addresses:

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

Check a direct list (abbreviated below; a real run requires at least 2,000 unique supported addresses):

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

Upload a CSV file with at least 2,000 supported addresses 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 fixed sample output without checking real addresses or charging email-check events.
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 for verification or charged an email-check event, 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.

Email-check charges 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 email-check charges apply to unique addresses checked. Exported dataset records also carry a $0.00001 item charge. See the Pricing tab for current charges.

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.

FAQ

Q: What does this actor check? A: It checks, in bulk, which email addresses have a real registered account on Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail/Live/MSN, Yahoo, iCloud, or Mail.ru.

Q: How accurate are the results? A: Statuses reflect account registration at the time of the check.

Q: Which providers are supported? A: Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail/Live/MSN, Yahoo, iCloud, and Mail.ru. Addresses on other domains are returned with status: skipped and incur no email-check charge.

Q: How fast is it? A: A 2,000-address batch typically completes in a few minutes. Larger batches scale accordingly.

Q: What about duplicates? A: Auto-removed before checking. You are only charged for unique addresses.

Q: What does unknown mean? A: The registration status could not be determined for that address. It still counts as a checked address.

Q: Is there a minimum batch size? A: Yes, 2,000 unique supported-provider addresses per run. The maximum is 100,000.

Q: My run failed and said none of my addresses were checked. What should I do? A: That is a temporary problem on our side, not a problem with your list. None of your addresses were checked, so none were charged. Leave your list as it is and start the run again in a few minutes.
