Email Verification Guide

Learn how to verify email addresses using our simple API endpoints.

✨ Basic Verification

Our email verification endpoint helps you validate email addresses in real-time:

GET https://verifyemail.io/api/email?verifyemail&email=[email]&apikey=[apikey]

💻 Code Examples


import requests

def verify_email(email, api_key):
    url = f"https://verifyemail.io/api/email"
    params = {
        "verifyemail": "",
        "email": email,
        "apikey": api_key
    }
    
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)
    return response.json()

# Example usage
result = verify_email("test@example.com", "your_api_key")
print(result)


async function verifyEmail(email, apiKey) {
    const url = new URL('https://verifyemail.io/api/email');
    url.searchParams.append('verifyemail', '');
    url.searchParams.append('email', email);
    url.searchParams.append('apikey', apiKey);
    
    try {
        const response = await fetch(url);
        const data = await response.json();
        return data;
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Verification failed:', error);
        throw error;
    }
}

// Example usage
verifyEmail('test@example.com', 'your_api_key')
    .then(result => console.log(result))
    .catch(error => console.error(error));


function verifyEmail($email, $apiKey) {
    $url = "https://verifyemail.io/api/email";
    $params = http_build_query([
        'verifyemail' => '',
        'email' => $email,
        'apikey' => $apiKey
    ]);
    
    $response = file_get_contents($url . '?' . $params);
    return json_decode($response, true);
}

// Example usage
$result = verifyEmail('test@example.com', 'your_api_key');
print_r($result);
