Can I Verify My Emails as They’re Collected in Real Time?
You can verify your emails as they’re collected in real time by using an email verification APIⓘ.
The API (Application Programming Interface) allows you to integrate your email verifier with your favorite platforms, websites, databases, or wherever you collect email addresses.
How a real-time email verification APIⓘ works
Verifying your emails in real time effectively lets you customize how you wish to clean your email list.
First - you’ll need to integrate your email verifier’s API code into your location of choice. A great place to install the real-time email verification APIⓘ is in your website’s account sign-up section.
Usually - users could enter any name or email address into the registration form. With the help of the real-time API, your email verifier will automatically detect invalid email addresses. Your visitors can only register for an account or mailing list once they provide a valid email address.
The real-time API is also helpful for detecting problematic, risky emails like abuse emails, spam traps, and disposable emailsⓘ. These email address types use a valid format but can damage your campaign performance and sender reputation. They can also put your email domain on a blacklist.
How can I start using a real-time email verification APIⓘ?
You’ll need two things to get started with a real-time email verification APIⓘ:
- The API code
- Your API key
You’ll need to sign up for an account with an email verification service to obtain an API key if you don't have one. Some services allow you to create multiple API keys for different platforms.
Then, just add your API key to the appropriate field within the API code to verify emails in real time.
Free ZeroBounce accounts come with 100 credits. However, if you need to verify more emails in real time, you’ll need to add more credits to your ZeroBounce account.
