Using Python to validate emails and block temp mail

This document provides example python code to validate email addresses, block temp mail, and determine if they are from a disposable email provider using the Check-Mail API.

Check if an Email is Disposable using Python

Use the API endpoint to determine if an email address is disposable or valid.

Example Request:

import requests

url = "https://mailcheck.p.rapidapi.com/"

querystring = {"email":"sarah35@qualityth.com"}

headers = {
    'x-rapidapi-host': "mailcheck.p.rapidapi.com",
    'x-rapidapi-key': "YOUR-API-KEY"
    }

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, params=querystring)

print(response.text)            

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key and sarah35@qualityth.com with the email address you want to validate in the example python code.

Example Response:

{
  "valid": true,
  "block": true,
  "disposable": true,
  "domain": "qualityth.com",
  "text": "Disposable / temporary domain",
  "reason": "Heuristics x2",
  "risk": 93,
  "mx_host": "mx-post.qualityth.com",
  "possible_typo": [],
  "mx_ip": "198.199.100.213",
  "mx_info": "Using MX pointer mx-post.qualityth.com from DNS with priority: 21",
  "last_changed_at":"2024-09-25T06:52:59+02:00"
}

Explanation

• The valid field indicates if the provided email address is in a valid format, and if the domain exists and accepts e-mails
• The block field indicates if we suggest you should block this e-mail or domain in your systems.
• The disposable field indicates whether the email address belongs to a disposable email provider.

Next Steps

• Integrate this code into your python code to automate the detection of disposable email addresses.
• Refer to the documentation for further details on the API.
