Healthy email list with no additional effort

Real-time email input validation

User registrations, newsletters, online polls or any other forms on your website – these are the places where you can catch bad emails before they get to your database. Keep your email list clean with no additional effort.

Why your CRM needs real-time email validation (and how to add it)

Most CRMs slowly accumulate bad email data. Typos, disposable emails, and invalid addresses get stored during signups or imports, and the problems only show up later as bounced emails or deliverability issues.

Real-time email validation solves this by checking email addresses before they are saved in your CRM. Instead of cleaning lists after the fact, validation happens at the point of entry.

What real-time validation prevents

Adding validation during signup or data entry helps block:

  • Mistyped email addresses
  • Disposable or temporary emails
  • Invalid domains or mailboxes
  • Risky addresses that can harm deliverability

This keeps CRM data cleaner and decreases the need for large cleanup jobs later.

How it works

Using the EmailListVerify API, your application sends an email address for verification as soon as a user submits it. The API performs checks such as:

  • Syntax validation
  • Domain and mail server verification
  • Mailbox status checks
  • Disposable and risk detection

Your system then decides whether to accept, flag, or reject the address based on the response.

Adding validation to your CRM

In most setups, integration looks like this:

  1. Call the EmailListVerify API when an email is entered.
  2. Receive the verification result.
  3. Allow or block the email before saving it to your CRM.

This can be implemented in signup forms, backend workflows, or import pipelines depending on how your data enters the system. For endpoints, parameters, and implementation examples, see the API documentation.

How our Email Validation API works

The EmailListVerify API allows you to verify email addresses automatically by sending a validation request and receiving a structured result in real time.

Instead of uploading lists manually, your application can check email addresses as they are collected or processed.

Basic workflow

The validation process follows a simple request–response flow:

  1. Your application sends an email address to the EmailListVerify API endpoint.
  2. The API performs a series of verification checks.
  3. A response is returned with the validation result and status details.
  4. Your system decides how to handle the email (accept, flag, or reject).

The process typically runs instantly and can be triggered during signup, form submission, or data imports.

Using the response

The API returns a structured response that indicates the verification status of the email address. Developers can use this result to:

  • Block invalid emails at signup
  • Flag risky addresses for review
  • Prevent bad data from entering a CRM or mailing list
  • Automate validation inside workflows or integrations

How do I integrate the API with my code?

Integration is simple. Send an email address to the EmailListVerify API and use the returned result to decide whether the address should be accepted, flagged, or rejected.
We provide ready-to-use examples and libraries to help you get started quickly. Just choose your preferred language and follow the example to connect the API to your application.

curl -X GET 'https://apps.emaillistverify.com/api/verifyEmail?secret=YOUR_API_KEY&[email protected]'
            
$email = "[email protected]";
$key = "YOUR_API_KEY";

$url = "https://apps.emaillistverify.com/api/verifyEmail?secret=".$key."&email=".$email;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true );

$response = curl_exec($ch);
echo $response;
curl_close($ch);
            
require 'email_list_verify'
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
client = EmailListVerify.new(api_key)

client.one_by_one('[email protected]')
            
from emailverify import EmailListVerifyOne

E = EmailListVerifyOne('YOUR_API_KEY', '[email protected]')
result = E.control()
print result
            
static async Task VerifyOne() {
  var apiUrl = "https://apps.emaillistverify.com/api/verifyEmail";
  var apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
  var email = "[email protected]";
  var requestUrl = $"{apiUrl}?secret={apiKey}&email={email}";

  var request = WebRequest.Create(requestUrl);
  var response = await request.GetResponseAsync();

  string emailStatus;
  using (var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream()) {
    var responseReader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
    emailStatus = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
  }

  Console.WriteLine(emailStatus);
}
