Email Verifier API is a real-time email verification service offering a 16-point engine that validates deliverability through syntax checking, DNS / MX lookups, real-time SMTP handshakes, mailbox existence probing, catch-all and greylisting detection, disposable address detection, role-account flagging, spam-trap and complainer detection, gibberish and offensive-language scanning, B2B / B2C classification, typo correction, and SMTP provider identification. The service is delivered as a single REST endpoint that accepts GET or POST requests, returns JSON or XML, and meters usage against a credit-pack balance that never expires. The product targets growth teams, ESPs, and lead-generation operators that need to eliminate hard bounces and protect sender reputation before they send.
Email Verifier API publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network: Verification API. Tagged areas include Email Verification, Deliverability, SMTP Check, Bounce Prevention, and Lead Validation.
The Email Verifier API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Email Verifier API’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, pricing, engineering blog, support, API reference, and 24 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
MCP Server+12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Delegated User Identity+6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Typed Event Surface+6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
Overlays applied on top of this provider's contracts. Each card says who wrote it: a document the provider publishes, or one API Evangelist derived or generated.

detail: The origin at 159.65.41.138 answers non-browser clients with its own "403 Forbidden / Access Denied / Firewall Protection"
interstitial and then drops the connection entirely, and it refused our second egress at the TCP layer (ECONNREFUSED)
on that egress's very first request — so neither the published llms.txt, the api-docs reference, nor any /.well-known/
path could be read this pass, and every new artifact had to be derived from the OpenAPI already harvested in an earlier
