update:
x-response-envelope:
description: 'Every response carries success (boolean) and message (string|null) alongside the payload.
success describes the API call, NOT the verification verdict: an undeliverable address still returns
success: true.'
fields:
- success
- message
source: https://docs.kickbox.com/docs/single-verification-api
- target: $.info
update:
x-rate-limits:
parallel_per_ip: 25
requests_per_clock_minute: 8000
status_on_exhaustion: 429
response_headers: []
note: No RateLimit-*, X-RateLimit-* or Retry-After headers are returned; limits must be enforced
client-side.

- target: $.info
update:
x-idempotency:
supported: false
note: No idempotency key documented. GET operations are naturally retry-safe; PUT /v2/verify-batch
is not — a retry creates a second job and consumes credits again.

Calls without X-API-Key need no key. Calls with it need a paid plan — get a key.
