Use ZeroBounce's email validation API to increase your email marketing ROI!
Remove invalid email addresses from your list using our unique email verification scrubbing system to prevent email bounces.
Our API will protect your reputation by reducing your bounce rate, remove bad emails to improve overall inbox delivery metrics, and we have a 98% accuracy guarantee.
Below you will find the documentation on our API, it's very easy to use and requires SSL.
The response time for our API is between one second and 70 seconds. Since API's are meant to be fast by nature, we limit the amount of time we spend validating an email address. So if we encounter a slow mail server or a mail server with a greylisting algorithm you will get an unknown result. You can always re-validate those conditions, uploading a file to the bulk email validator.
On average 96-98% of all domains will return in 1 to 5 seconds, there are a handful of domains that run off Postfix/Dovecot that have a 20 second connection time for real-time validations and a very small fractional percentage of other domains that are very slow to respond to SMTP inquires. All the major ISP will return in 1 to 3 seconds, which is usually the majority of most email distribution.
The API will return these results in a JSON format using the "Validate" method.

Each endpoint returns JSON data related to email validation and activity. The Email Validation endpoints provide details such as validation status, account information, and geolocation data, while the Email Activity endpoint offers insights into subscriber engagement metrics like opens and clicks.
Key fields include "address," "status," "sub-status," "account," "domain," "firstname," "lastname," "gender," and "processed_at." These fields provide essential information about the email's validity and associated user details.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with each field representing specific attributes of the email validation or activity. For example, the "status" field indicates the validation outcome, while "firstname" and "lastname" provide user identification.
The Email Validation endpoints provide validation status, domain age, and user details, while the Email Activity endpoint offers engagement metrics such as opens and unsubscribes over specified timeframes, enhancing targeting and personalization.
Users can customize requests by specifying the email address for validation in the Email Validation endpoints. For the Email Activity endpoint, users can define the time range (30, 90, 180, or 365 days) to gather engagement insights.
The data is sourced from various email servers and engagement metrics collected from user interactions. ZeroBounce employs advanced algorithms and machine learning to ensure high accuracy and reliability in email validation.
Typical use cases include improving email marketing campaigns by validating subscriber lists, reducing bounce rates, and enhancing targeting through engagement insights. This helps marketers optimize their strategies and increase ROI.
Users can leverage the returned data to clean their email lists, identify potential spam traps, and personalize marketing efforts based on user demographics. For example, knowing the "gender" and "location" can help tailor content to specific audiences.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
