They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## 🚀 ValidatorMails - Bulk Email Finder & Verifier Actor [![Apify Actor](https://img.shields.io/badge/Apify-Actor-FF6F00?style=for-the-badge&logo=apify)](https://apify.com) [![FastAPI](https://img.shields.io/badge/FastAPI-009688?style=for-the-badge&logo=fastapi&logoColor=white)](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com) [![Python Async](https://img.shields.io/badge/Python-Async-3776AB?style=for-the-badge&logo=python&logoColor=white)](https://python.org) [![Performance](https://img.shields.io/badge/Concurrency-Controlled-brightgreen?style=for-the-badge)](https://apify.com) **ValidatorMails** is a high-performance, enterprise-grade email validation and discovery SaaS platform. This official Apify Actor enables you to process bulk leads list for **Email Verification** or **Email Discovery** asynchronously in the cloud, syncing results directly to your Apify datasets. --- ### 🌟 Key Features - **🔍 Smart Lead Discovery**: Generates 28 naming patterns (e.g. `first.last@domain`, `f.last@domain`) and prioritizes them using the **Master Leads Vault** history to save credits. - **🛡️ Enterprise Catch-All Guessing**: - Automatically detects **Office 365** mailboxes and runs live directory handshake validation (100% accurate results). - Guesses naming conventions for standard catch-all domains using database analytics. - Skips checking known invalid patterns to keep domain reputation high. - **⚡ Async Concurrency Throttling**: Configure parallel workers (1 to 20) to query endpoints at optimal speeds. - **📋 Non-Blocking UI Sync**: Works seamlessly with ValidatorMails backend architecture. - **suppressed Suppressions**: Automatically detects opt-outs (GDPR/CCPA compliant) and prevents re-verification. --- ### 📥 Actor Inputs Configuration This actor provides a clean, grouped console user interface on the Apify platform: #### ⚙️ API Configuration & Authentication - **Operation Mode**: Select `Find Emails` or `Verify Emails`. - **API Key**: Your private ValidatorMails API token (`sk_live_...`). - **Base API URL**: Endpoint of your FastAPI server (default: `https://validatormails.com`). #### 📥 Input Leads Data - **Leads Input List**: One entry per line. - *Finder Mode*: `Full Name, domain.com` (e.g., `Sadique Shaikh, theinsightsview.com`) - *Verifier Mode*: `email@domain.com` #### 🚀 Performance Settings - **Concurrency Limit**: Limit of parallel API calls (defaults to 5 to protect server stability). --- ### 📤 Dataset Output Fields Every successfully processed row generates detailed metrics in your Apify Dataset: ```json { "Email": "sadique@theinsightsview.com", "Status": "Valid", "Reason": "Valid", "Time": "0.00s (Cached)", "CatchAll": "No", "Disposable": false, "Role": false, "FreeEmail": false, "MXRecord": "mx1.hostinger.com", "Error": null } ```` *** ### 🚀 How to Run Locally If you want to run this actor on your local machine using the Apify SDK: 1. Clone or download this project. 2. Initialize virtual environment: ```bash python -m venv venv .\venv\Scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt ``` 3. Create your input configuration inside `storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json`. 4. Execute: ```bash python -m src ``` *** ### 🌍 Deploying to Apify Cloud Deploy in one command to your developer account: ```bash apify login -t apify push ``` Your Actor will instantly build and be ready to run under **Development > My Actors**! # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Choose whether you want to find new emails or verify existing email addresses. ## `api_key` (type: `string`): Leave blank to pay directly via Apify's store pricing. If you are an active ValidatorMails website subscriber, enter your key to use your website credits instead. ## `api_url` (type: `string`): The base HTTP API endpoint of your ValidatorMails server. ## `leads` (type: `string`): One entry per line. For Find Emails: 'Full Name, domain.com' (e.g., Sadique Shaikh, theinsightsview.com). For Verify Emails: 'email@domain.com'. ## `concurrency_limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of simultaneous API requests to make to prevent rate limiting. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "find", "api_url": "https://validatormails.com", "leads": "Sadique Shaikh, theinsightsview.com\nadmin@validatormails.com", "concurrency_limit": 5 } ``` # 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 = { "leads": `Sadique Shaikh, theinsightsview.com admin@validatormails.com` }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("validatormails/validatormails-actor").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 📖?
