# Validate a list of emails (typos, disposable, invalid domains)

**Use case:** 

Validate a list of email addresses without sending any email. Checks syntax, MX records, disposable providers, role and free addresses, and suggests fixes for typos like gmial.com. This example mixes valid, typo, disposable and non-existent-domain emails.

## Input

```json
{
  "emails": [
    "test@gmail.com",
    "info@apify.com",
    "someone@gmial.com",
    "temp123@mailinator.com",
    "bob@this-domain-does-not-exist-xyz.com"
  ],
  "roleIsRisky": false,
  "freeIsRisky": false,
  "checkSpfDmarc": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 20
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "email": {
    "label": "Email",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "verdict": {
    "label": "Verdict",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "score": {
    "label": "Score",
    "format": "integer"
  },
  "reason": {
    "label": "Reason",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "did_you_mean": {
    "label": "Did you mean",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "has_mx": {
    "label": "MX",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "mx_provider": {
    "label": "Mail host",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "disposable": {
    "label": "Disposable",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "role": {
    "label": "Role",
    "format": "boolean"
  },
  "free_provider": {
    "label": "Free",
    "format": "boolean"
  }
}
```

## FAQ

### Does it send emails?

No. It uses syntax and DNS checks only, so nobody is contacted.

### Can I check a CSV or dataset?

Yes. Paste emails as text or point the Actor at an existing dataset and field.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Email Checker & Bulk Email Validator](https://apify.com/goldish_fireplace/email-checker.md) with a specific input configuration.

## 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/goldish_fireplace/email-checker.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`).
