## About

## What it does
Academic Email Validator checks whether an email address belongs to an academic institution. Send an email in the request body, and it returns a boolean result in `data`.

Use it when you need to gate student or faculty-only features, route users into education pricing, or reduce manual review during sign-up. The endpoint is focused on one job: given an email address, tell you whether it matches an academic domain.

The input schema is simple: provide `body.email` as an email string. The response is equally direct, with `data` set to `true` or `false`.

If you're building onboarding flows, discount verification, or access control for education-specific products, this check gives you a lightweight signal you can use before asking for heavier proof of affiliation.

## Usage

Authenticate with an ApyHub API key in the `apy-token` header.
