Free tier, no form to fill in. Signing in shares your email address with us — we store it to create your key and to recognise you if you sign in with another provider. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.

A second provider on the same verified email joins the account you already have.

  title: Cold Leads Verify API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: 'Headless e-mail verification and B2B e-mail discovery, plus the sales memory an AI agent needs to continue work across sessions: one-call lead context, a next-actions queue, follow-up scheduling and an audit log of API/MCP calls. Each operation declares x-coldleads-side-effect (read or write); nothing here sends e-mail. Authenticate with an API key from Settings → API keys (Business plan).
