The Email Authentication API designed to validate and assess the authenticity of email addresses, providing valuable information about their deliverability and security. By analyzing various aspects of email infrastructure and authentication mechanisms, this API provides a holistic approach to email validation, ensuring that only legitimate and trustworthy messages are processed and delivered.
First, the API performs a series of checks to verify the syntax of the email address. This initial validation step ensures that the email conforms to the standard format and structure required for proper communication. By confirming that the syntax is valid, the API helps to avoid errors and inaccuracies that can arise from incorrectly formatted email addresses.
Next, the API checks the domain associated with the email address. This includes verifying the existence and configuration of the domain, as well as checking for any issues that may affect email delivery. By validating the domain, the API helps ensure that emails sent from this domain are legitimate and trustworthy, which improves the overall security of email communications.
In addition, the API performs SMTP checks to verify the availability and functionality of the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server associated with the domain. This involves establishing a connection to the SMTP server and verifying its responsiveness, ensuring that emails can be successfully sent and received using this server.
While the syntax, domain and SMTP checks may have passed successfully, the API also evaluates the authentication mechanisms implemented by the domain, including SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail). SPF allows domain owners to specify which servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of their domain, while DKIM adds digital signatures to emails to verify their authenticity. In this case, both SPF and DKIM checks have failed, indicating possible problems with email authentication for the domain.
In addition, the API evaluates the provisional deliverability of emails sent to the specified address. This evaluation takes into account several factors that can affect deliverability, such as server configuration, reputation and spam filtering. In this case, the provisional deliverability of the email has failed, suggesting the existence of potential obstacles that may hinder the successful delivery of emails to this address.
In summary, the Email Authentication API provides a comprehensive assessment of email addresses, covering syntax validation, domain verification, SMTP functionality, authentication mechanisms, deliverability assessment and overall quality score. Leveraging this API, companies and organizations can ensure the integrity and security of their email communications, reducing the risk of fraud, spam and deliverability issues.

The Email Authentication API is a tool that verifies the authenticity and validity of email addresses by checking various authentication protocols.
There are different plans to suit all tastes, including a free trial for a small number of requests, but your rate is limited to avoid abuse of the service.
Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.
By verifying the integrity of email addresses, you can ensure that your contact database contains accurate and up-to-date information, which is crucial for effective communication and marketing campaigns.
The Email Verifier endpoint returns a JSON object containing detailed information about the email address, including its validity, deliverability, domain details, and SMTP server configuration.
Key fields in the response include "originalEmail," "isValid," "isDeliverable," "mx" (mail exchange records), and "message," which provide insights into the email's authenticity and deliverability status.
The response data is structured as a JSON object with nested fields. It includes the email address details, validation results, and an array of MX records, making it easy to parse and utilize programmatically.
The endpoint provides information on email validity, deliverability, domain configuration, SMTP server status, and authentication mechanisms like SPF and DKIM, offering a comprehensive assessment of the email address.
The primary parameter accepted is the email address to be verified. It should be a valid email format; otherwise, the API will return an error indicating invalid syntax.
Users can leverage the returned data to filter out invalid or undeliverable email addresses, enhancing the quality of their contact lists and improving email campaign performance.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates and checks against reliable email infrastructure sources, ensuring that the API reflects current email validation standards and practices.
Common use cases include validating user registration emails, cleaning marketing lists, authenticating e-commerce transaction emails, and ensuring lead quality in marketing campaigns.
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.
