how to validate emails efficiently without slowing down your signup flow

the problem

invalid email addresses can lead to bounce-backs, poor deliverability, and wasted resources. manually verifying emails is slow and error-prone, especially at scale.

the solution

the email-verify api offers a simple endpoint to validate emails quickly.

curl -s https://email-verify.apimesh.xyz/check?email=example@example.com

// response example
{
  "email": "example@example.com",
  "is_valid": true,
  "reason": "Valid email address"
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

how it works

just send a GET request to the /check endpoint with an email parameter. the API checks the email's syntax, domain existence, and mailbox status in real-time, returning a straightforward JSON response indicating validity.
