What does Outlook Username Checker do?
Outlook Username Checker tells you instantly whether an Outlook or Hotmail email address is available or already taken. Give it a list of usernames, and it returns availability status plus Microsoft's own alternative suggestions for taken names — all via the Apify platform with scheduling, API access, and monitoring built in.
Why use Outlook Username Checker?
- Check dozens of usernames in a single run instead of one by one in a browser
- Get Microsoft's suggested alternatives automatically when a name is taken
- Integrate results into your workflow via the Apify API or webhooks
- Schedule regular checks to catch when a username becomes available
How to use Outlook Username Checker
- Open the Input tab in Apify Console.
- Add the usernames you want to check — you can enter just the username (e.g.
john.doe) or the full address (e.g.john.doe@outlook.com). - Optionally adjust Delay Between Requests if you're checking many names.
- Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
- Open the Output tab to see results, or download them as JSON, CSV, or Excel.
Input
| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
usernames | string list | Usernames or full addresses to check | — |
delayMs | integer | Milliseconds between requests (500–10000) | 1500 |
Example input:
{"usernames": ["john.doe", "jane.smith", "coolname99@outlook.com"],"delayMs": 1500}
Output
One record per username is pushed to the dataset.
[{"username": "john.doe","signInName": "john.doe@outlook.com","isAvailable": false,"suggestions": ["john.doe1@outlook.com", "john.doe2026@outlook.com"]},{"username": "xk9r2qvw","signInName": "xk9r2qvw@outlook.com","isAvailable": true,"suggestions": []}]
You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, HTML, CSV, or Excel.
Data table
| Field | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
signInName | text | Full email address checked |
isAvailable | boolean | true if the username is free |
suggestions | array | Microsoft's alternatives (only when taken) |
username | text | Original input value |
Tips
- Keep
delayMsat 1500 ms or above when checking more than 20 usernames. - You don't need to add
@outlook.com— the Actor handles it automatically. - If
isAvailableisnullin the output, that request encountered an error; retry or increase the delay.
