}The ZeroBounce email validationⓘA process that determines if an email address uses valid syntax, exists on a given domain, and is configured to receive incoming email messages API operates both in real time and in bulk. If you need to verify emails consistently and would like to save time and automate the process, we recommend using the bulk feature.
The API detects more than 30 types of risky email addresses, prevents them from getting on your list and helps to maintain your email hygiene for a longer period of time. A healthy email list supports your sender reputation and is a cornerstone of good email deliverabilityⓘA sender’s ability to reach the recipient’s inbox with their outgoing emails. It may also describe the ratio of emails delivered to the inbox vs. those sent to spam or blocked by the receiving server..
Activate the API today by installing it on your registration and signup forms, or wherever you collect email addresses online.
