Show HN: EmailDetective – A Email Validation API (emaildetective.io)

6 points by AndrewCopeland ↗ HN
Hello, I'm Andrew, owner of EmailDetective.

I was looking for an API solution for email validation/scoring for multiple mailing lists.

I noticed a lot of the email validation services out there:

  - Do not have an API
  - Are behind a paywall to try the API
  - Are priced way to high
  - Have inconsistent or non-intuitive APIs
So I decided to create my own solution.

This is my first time announcing EmailDetective, so I am looking for any general feedback, issues you might have run into and if you find this service useful.

And yes you can try it out for free without signing up :)

YESSSS!

{ "email": "example+foo@emaildetective1.io", "user": "example+foo", "domain": "emaildetective1.io", "valid_email": true, "valid_spf": false, "valid_dmarc": false, "valid_mx": false, "valid_tld": true, "nonsense": false, "role": false, "free": false, "disposable": false, "score": 60, "suspicion_rating": "HIGH" }

So many websites refuse to let put in a tracking breadcrumb with a +name.

Cool stuff
