FILE OR API: WHICH SHOULD I USE?

If you need real time validations -- for example, if you want to verify your users' email addresses during the sign up process and reject them if they are invalid -- the API is going to be the faster and easier choice. If you need to validate lists, either as a one off or once every few days/weeks, then it's easier to use the browser and upload all your emails at once.
