# Email Verifier & Disposable Email Checker (`kaidn/email-verifier-risk-checker`) Actor Verify email lists in bulk: syntax, domain MX records, disposable/temporary domains (98k+), role accounts, free providers, and typo fixes like gmial.com -> gmail.com. Returns deliverable/risky/undeliverable plus a fraud risk level. Fast, DNS-based, no API keys. - **URL**: https://apify.com/kaidn/email-verifier-risk-checker.md - **Developed by:** [Alex Mugo](https://apify.com/kaidn) (community) - **Categories:** Lead generation, Developer tools - **Security:** Limited permissions - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $0.50 / 1,000 email verifieds This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. 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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. 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`). # README ## Email Verifier & Disposable Email Checker Clean an email list in seconds and catch the addresses that will bounce or abuse your sign-up. For every address you get: - **Status**: `deliverable_domain`, `risky`, `disposable`, `undeliverable`, `invalid` or `unknown` - **Risk**: `low`, `medium` or `high`, with plain-English reasons - **Disposable check** against 98,000+ temporary and throwaway domains, including subdomains. The list is rebuilt every hour and each run uses the latest one (`listUpdatedAt` says when) - **Typo fixes**: `jane@gmial.com` comes back with `didYouMean: jane@gmail.com` - **MX records**: does the domain exist and accept email at all (including RFC 7505 null MX) - **Role accounts**: `info@`, `support@`, `sales@` and 40 more shared inboxes - **Free provider** flag: Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud, Proton and others Built by [Kaidn](https://kaidn.io), the fraud-scoring API, using the same email checks Kaidn runs on live sign-ups. ### Use it for - **Sign-up and trial abuse**: stop throwaway addresses before they claim a bonus or free trial - **List cleaning**: drop dead domains and typos before a campaign, protect your sender reputation - **Lead quality**: flag role accounts and free-mail addresses in B2B lead lists - **Fixing typos at scale**: recover real customers who mistyped their provider ### Input ```json { "emails": ["sundar@google.com", "someone@mailinator.com", "jane@gmial.com"] } ``` ### Output ```json { "ok": true, "input": "jane@gmial.com", "status": "disposable", "risk": "high", "reasons": ["disposable / temporary email domain", "looks like a typo of gmail.com"], "didYouMean": "jane@gmail.com", "hasMx": false, "isDisposable": true, "isRoleAccount": false, "isFreeProvider": false } ``` Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from the Apify API, Make, Zapier or n8n. ### What it does not do It does not connect to the mail server to ask whether one specific mailbox exists (SMTP probing). That is slow, often blocked, and can get the checking IP blacklisted. `deliverable_domain` means the domain is real and accepts email; it does not promise the exact inbox exists. ### Pricing You pay per address checked. Text that is not a valid address at all (`invalid syntax`), and addresses whose domain DNS gave no answer (`status: unknown`), are returned but not charged. Domains are looked up once per run, so big lists stay fast. Disposable-domain data is compiled from CC0, MIT and BSD licensed open lists; see `data/NOTICE.md`. # Actor input Schema ## `emails` (type: `array`): One address per line. Duplicates (any letter case) are checked once. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many addresses. Leave empty for no limit. ## Actor input object example ```json { "emails": [ "sundar@google.com", "someone@mailinator.com", "jane@gmial.com" ] } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): One row per input item, in the default dataset # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "emails": [ "sundar@google.com", "someone@mailinator.com", "jane@gmial.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("kaidn/email-verifier-risk-checker").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/sxxeAisHySBZNfNYk/builds/a2eBqfdtUa82cLt6P/openapi.json
