About

The Email DNS validation service allows you to verify whether the email domain provided can receive emails. In addition to this check, it also can check that the emails are not disposable ones.
While regex (as complex as they are) is helpful to check that the email format is correct, it 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.
Using this service you can protect your sender reputation, if you are using AWS SES and other such services, and improve the overall user experience by providing users with quick feedback to correct any unintentional typos. This can help to improve the accuracy of communication, reduce bounces and improve email deliverability, and improve data quality, which leads to better communication with customers, improved email marketing results, and better business outcomes.

Authentication

All 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 workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to applications.
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.
