Why your current email verification development tools aren’t working
Email verification is necessary to protect your website and database from fake, high-risk email addresses and security risks like SQL injections. However, there are a few critical issues with basic email verification programs and related programming libraries:
Accuracy limitations
Basic email verification scripts and libraries are typically limited to regex checks. While those are great for identifying typos or syntax errors, it doesn’t include mailbox pinging, which helps you determine if a mailbox is real.
Resource strain
Your email verifier is great for a few email addresses, but how does it perform at scale? Developers like you need a platform with resources that can scale to your business needs.
Minimal email insights
There are more email address types than “valid” or “invalid.” Without a dedicated email verification API, your email marketing team isn’t getting the results that they could with deeper email insights.
Security risks
A dedicated email validation API includes enhanced, military-grade security supervised by a team of cybersecurity experts. You need to ensure your data is secure and compliant.

As developer, I like the way zerobounces API is handling and the easy way how the platform is showing you all details for those request such as valid, invalid, abuse, spam traps is a great help to improve our SOI / DOI.

See the reviewIt's ease of use, and my number one favorite feature is that you can do the single email validation. Loading CSV files into an app is never fun, and being able to check a quick email when I need to is awesome. Also, your API is great and super helpful as we've integrated it across various apps. It's also very affordable and you are always offering deals.
