Verify a Single Email

This guide will show you how to verify an individual email using the Intelligent Verification API.

Steps:

1. Initiate a cURL Request: Use the sample cURL request provided below to begin the verification process:

   curl \ --location \ --request POST 'https://api.lastbounce.com/api/singleEmail/validate?email=virgilio.so@demandscience.com' \ --header 'x-api-key: DdTHUVFAI4Q6u810nlKhfIhHHo8qmoYqJD4Ns7jJ'

2. Interpret the Response: Once the request is made, you'll receive a JSON response. Here's a sample response:

   { "email": "virgilio.so@demandscience.com", "result": "VALID", "resultDetail": "OK", "corrected": false, "verifiedEmail": "virgilio.so@demandscience.com", "domain": "demandscience.com", "localPart": "virgilio.so" }
   • email: The email address you wanted to verify.
   • result: A brief text description of the validation outcome (e.g., VALID).
   • resultDetail: Provides a more specific reason for the result.
   • corrected: Indicates if the email was corrected.
   • verifiedEmail: The verified version of the email.
   • domain: The domain of the email address.
   • localPart: The local part of the email address before the '@'.

3. Understand Result Codes: In the JSON response, you'll see fields named 'result' and 'resultDetail'. While 'result' offers a brief description, 'resultDetail' provides a more specific reason. For a complete list of result codes and their meanings, click here.
