How To Check If An Email Is Valid Or Not, Using A Free Web API

In this blog, we will see how to check the validity of an email using a free Web API.

Today, I learned how to verify an email address using API Form Validation and also, verify the validity of a bulk amount of email addresses that you want to check. The e-mail verifier website provides a free API for using email validation or checks the valid or invalid email addresses without any expense (cost). It is free and always will be.

 

The e-mail verifier has launched this as a free API service that anyone can use for collecting email validation or checking if the email is valid or not. The email verifier follows 3 steps to check if an email is valid or invalid.

1. Email is valid or not.
2. Email service provider to get Mx Records and create a socket with the port number to send request of your email service provider whenever an email is valid so service provider sends status as OK; otherwise bad request status is returned.
3. e-mail verifier checks the status and returns a JSON response.
