Email Validation API — clean your lists without sending a thing

Feed it a list, get back a verdict per address: valid / risky / disposable / invalid / unknown, with a 0–100 deliverability score and the exact reasons. No emails are ever sent. Pay per address checked; our own failures are free.

What's checked

CheckMeaning
syntaxValidStructurally a real address
domainExists / hasMxDNS says the domain exists and accepts mail (MX, with A fallback)
disposableThrowaway domains incl. their subdomains (mailinator, 10minutemail, yopmail, ...) — covers common providers; obscure ones can slip through
roleBasedinfo@, sales@, admin@ — weak targets for outreach
freeProvidergmail/yahoo/outlook etc. — fine for B2C, weak signal for B2B
score + verdict0–100 confidence and the bottom line

Honest by design

  • No SMTP-handshake theater. From shared cloud IPs, SMTP probing is widely blocked and greylisted — services that claim it from a datacenter are selling you noise. We only run checks that are trustworthy from where this actually runs.
  • DNS failures are never faked. If our resolver times out, you get verdict: "unknown" with dnsError set — and that row is not billed. A timeout is our problem, not proof your lead is bad.
  • Batched delivery: results are pushed and billed every 250 rows, so even an interrupted run delivers what it completed — never all-or-nothing.
  • Dedup-friendly: domain lookups are cached per run, so 5,000 @gmail.com rows cost one DNS query.

Typical uses

Clean a lead list before a campaign (bounces kill sender reputation), validate signups at the edge, or audit a purchased list before you pay for it twice.

Output example

{
"email": "jane.doe@gmail.com",
"verdict": "valid",
"score": 100,
"syntaxValid": true, "domainExists": true, "hasMx": true,
"disposable": false, "roleBased": false, "freeProvider": true
}

Built by the maker of the whale-tracking and MCP suite — same rules everywhere: fail-loud integrity, errors never billed.
