Email → Validate Single
AI-generatedSummary
Validate a single email address with detailed analysis including optional SMTP mailbox verification and DNS record inclusion.
Inputs
- Email (required) — The email address to validate, e.g., 'user@example.com'.
- Options — Optional settings controlling the validation behavior, including whether to perform SMTP verification (default true), include raw DNS records, and specify the maximum validation timeout in seconds (default 30, within 5-60 seconds).
Output shape
a single JSON object containing enriched validation results for the email, including validity, deliverability status, risk level, quality tier, recommendations, and optionally raw DNS data if requested.
If the email format is invalid, the operation throws a validation error. The SMTP check is enabled by default, providing more accurate results but longer processing time. Validation results include additional calculated fields such as risk_level, quality_tier, and recommendation to help assess email safety.
Examples
Example 1: Validate 'user@example.com' with default options (SMTP check enabled, no raw DNS records).
Set Email to 'user@example.com' and leave Options as default.
Example 2: Validate 'user@example.com' without SMTP verification and include full DNS records.
Set Email to 'user@example.com'. In Options, set Check SMTP to false and Include Raw DNS to true.
