📧 Disposable Email Domains Scraper

🚀 Export the disposable-email blocklist in seconds. Pull 5,000+ throwaway email providers for signup-form fraud prevention. Domains, MX-verified, strict superset, or SHA1-hashed variants. No API key, no registration, no manual list curation.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-05-23 · 📊 6 fields per record · 🛡️ 5,000+ domains · 🗂️ 4 list variants · 🚫 Anti-fraud focus

The Disposable Email Domains Scraper exports the community-maintained list of disposable, throwaway, and one-time-use email providers (Mailinator, 10MinuteMail, Guerrilla Mail, Temp-Mail, and 5,000+ more). Each record carries 6 fields: domain, list variant, disposable flag, total list size, and timestamps. You can also pass a single domain and get back a one-row boolean answer ready for live signup-form validation.

Coverage spans four canonical list variants: the standard domains blocklist, the mx-verified subset (currently resolving MX), the broadest strict superset (includes parked and aliased domains), and a sha1-hashed variant for privacy-preserving lookups. This Actor turns each list into a CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML download you can wire straight into a fraud-prevention pipeline.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases

📋 What the Disposable Email Domains Scraper does

Three core workflows in a single run:

• 📥 Full list export. Dump any of the four list variants in one pass.
• 🔍 Substring filter. Return only domains containing a target string (mailinator, temp, 10min, etc).
• ✅ Single-domain check. Pass one domain and get a boolean answer for live API gating.

Each record returns the domain, the source list, a boolean disposable flag, the total list size at run time, and timestamps.

💡 Why it matters: disposable-email signups drive most free-trial abuse, fake-account fraud, and bot-traffic distortion. A 5,000-domain blocklist refreshed weekly removes roughly 80-90% of the throwaway accounts that target SaaS signup flows.

⚙️ Input

Input	Type	Default	Behavior
maxItems	integer	10	Records to return. Free plan caps at 10, paid plan at 1,000,000.
list	string	"domains"	One of domains, mx, strict, sha1.
domainFilter	string	""	Return only domains containing this substring (case-insensitive).
exactDomain	string	""	Check a single domain. Returns one row with a boolean result.

Example: dump the strict superset of disposable domains.

{
    "maxItems": 5000,
    "list": "strict"
}

Example: live signup-form check for one specific domain.

{
    "maxItems": 1,
    "list": "domains",
    "exactDomain": "mailinator.com"
}

⚠️ Good to Know: disposable-email vendors register new throwaway domains constantly. A weekly refresh is the most common cadence; high-fraud verticals (crypto, marketplaces, virtual-events) refresh daily.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🧩 How does it work?

Pick a list variant (domains, mx, strict, or sha1), optionally add a substring filter or single-domain check, set maxItems, click Start, and the Actor returns one clean structured record per domain.

📏 How accurate is the list?

The underlying source is community-maintained and updated continuously. The default domains list focuses on confirmed disposable providers (high precision). The strict variant includes parked and aliased domains (broader recall, lower precision). Pick the variant that matches your tolerance for false positives.

🔁 How often is the list refreshed?

The source list is updated continuously. Every run of this Actor fetches live data. Daily or weekly cron schedules are the most common cadence for production fraud-prevention pipelines.

🗂️ What is the difference between the four list variants?

• domains: the default high-precision disposable blocklist
• mx: subset with currently resolving MX records
• strict: broadest superset including parked and aliased domains
• sha1: hashed domain list for privacy-preserving lookups

✅ Can I use this for live signup-form validation?

Yes. Use the exactDomain input to check a single domain per call. The Actor returns one row with a boolean result. For high-volume real-time checks, cache the full list locally and refresh daily.

⏰ Can I schedule regular runs?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules to refresh the list on any cron interval. A daily refresh is the standard cadence for high-fraud verticals; weekly works for most SaaS signup flows.

⚖️ Is this data legal to use?

The disposable-email blocklist is publicly available open data. Using it to gate signup forms is standard fraud-prevention practice and widely deployed across SaaS, fintech, and marketplace platforms.

💳 Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor?

No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan unlocks the full blocklist and daily scheduling.

🔁 What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted?

Apify automatically retries transient errors. If a run still fails, inspect the log, fix the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved.

🔐 What is the SHA1 variant for?

For compliance-sensitive workflows where you cannot store raw email domain strings. Hash the user's email domain locally and compare against the SHA1 list for a privacy-preserving disposable check.
