Detect Email Address API

What it does

Email Address Detection scans a block of text and returns any email addresses it finds. Send the content in body.content, get back a job_id for the asynchronous job, then poll the job status endpoint with the job ID.

Use Email Address Detection when you need to pull contact addresses out of raw text from support tickets, lead notes, scraped pages, documents, or chat logs. It is useful when you already have unstructured content and need to isolate email addresses without building your own pattern-matching logic.

The status response returns a data object with id, type, and attributes. Inside attributes, you can read the job type, status, and result, where result is an array of strings containing the detected email addresses.

This service is a good fit for workflows that normalize inbound text before enrichment, CRM import, or validation steps. It gives you a simple async flow: submit content, check status, and read the extracted email list when the job completes.

About this endpoint

What it does

Submits an asynchronous job to detect email addresses from the provided content. The request sends the text to analyze, and the response returns identifiers you can use to check job progress later.

Request Body

ParameterTypeDescription
contentStringProvide the content from where email addresses needs to be detected.

Response

Returns a JSON object with a job_id string — the UUID of the submitted job. Poll the job status endpoint with this id to retrieve the result.

ParameterTypeDescription
job_idStringIdentifier of the submitted asynchronous job.

Notes

This endpoint kicks off an async job and returns immediately with a job identifier; the actual work runs in the background. Pair this call with the corresponding job_check endpoint — poll that until the status reaches a terminal state to retrieve the result. Use the returned job_id to track the job.
