About

This API allows you to verify whether the provided email domain can receive emails and checks for disposable email addresses.
While regular expressions (as complex as they are) help check that the email format is correct, they cannot verify whether the domain is valid and can receive emails. This can result in email bounces when users make simple typos that are validated by regex.
This API can help you protect your sender reputation If you are using AWS SES and other such services. The API can also help improve the overall user experience by providing users with quick feedback to correct any unintentional typos. Moreover, the API can help improve the accuracy of communication, reduce bounces, improve email deliverability and data quality. This leads to better communication with customers, improved email marketing results, and overall improved business outcomes.
Try out the API in the API playground and see how the free Email validation API can help you validate emails through a simple API call.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
