Email Verifier API

Email Verifier API is a real-time email verification service offering a 16-point engine that validates deliverability through syntax checking, DNS / MX lookups, real-time SMTP handshakes, mailbox existence probing, catch-all and greylisting detection, disposable address detection, role-account flagging, spam-trap and complainer detection, gibberish and offensive-language scanning, B2B / B2C classification, typo correction, and SMTP provider identification. The service is delivered as a single REST endpoint that accepts GET or POST requests, returns JSON or XML, and meters usage against a credit-pack balance that never expires. The product targets growth teams, ESPs, and lead-generation operators that need to eliminate hard bounces and protect sender reputation before they send.

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Email Verifier API the way a machine reads it — 39 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Email Verifier API scores 64.6/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Email Verifier API

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Email Verifier API. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Real-time email-address verification operations.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTION

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Features 12

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

16-Point Verification Engine

Composite engine combining syntax, DNS, MX, SMTP handshake, mailbox existence, catch-all, greylisting, disposable, role, spam-trap, gibberish, offensive, B2B, typo, complainer, ...

Real-Time SMTP Verification

Live RCPT TO probe against the destination MX to confirm mailbox existence in real time.

Disposable Detection

Match against 50,000+ known disposable / burner email providers.

Role-Account Detection

Flag departmental aliases such as info@, sales@, support@, marketing@.

Catch-All Detection

Identify domains whose MX accepts all addresses regardless of mailbox existence.

Greylisting Handling

Distinguish temporary SMTP defenses from outright rejections so they can be retried.

Typo Suggestion

Detect domain misspellings (gmial.com -> gmail.com) and return a corrected address.

Spam-Trap and Complainer Detection

Identify honeypots and chronic spam-complainer addresses before they damage sender reputation.

B2B / B2C Classification

Classify addresses as corporate (B2B) versus consumer (B2C) free-mailbox providers.

Credit-Based Metering

Pay-as-you-go credit packs that never expire; only Paid (mailbox-level) events consume credits.

JSON or XML Response

JSON by default; XML available with `xml=true`.

GET or POST

Both GET and POST supported on the single endpoint for ad-hoc and server-to-server use.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON Schema 1

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

JSON Structure 1

JSON Structure captures the data shapes in a form built for tooling — a complement to JSON Schema that keeps the model machine-legible.

Examples 4

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
