Email Pie
Email Pie is a wonderful little JSON API that gives you a simple way to validate email addresses. We'll let you know if that email address is legit or not.
What's it do?
- checks email format
- checks mx records
- catches obvious mispellings
- returns JSON
- BSD licensed
- Python, Flask & gevent
Try it!
How?
Well, first we make sure the email is formatted correctly. Catching things like invalid characters or no @ signs. Then, we make sure that the domain is configured to collect email. Finally, we check for common misspellings.
How much?
It's free for now, but we limit API calls to 1800/hour. Or, run your own.
