The Student Email Verification API tells you whether an email address belongs to a university, college, or other academic institution. Send an email in the POST body and get back a JSON object with a data boolean: true for an academic address, false otherwise.
The check runs on the email domain. The email value must be a correctly formatted address, so validate input first when it comes from a free-text field.
Use it as an edu email checker to grant student discounts at checkout, offer free or reduced plans to students and academic staff, or limit a beta, hackathon, or campus program to academic sign-ups. Education platforms use it to verify student emails at registration and apply the right plan automatically.
The result reflects the domain only. Current enrollment status and mailbox existence need their own checks, such as a confirmation email or a student ID upload.
Pairs well with: the Email Validation API to confirm the address is well formed and its domain receives mail, and the Disposable Email Checker API to block throwaway addresses on the same sign-up form. AI agents can call the student email verification API through ApyHub MCP.
