Bulk email verifier for lead lists and sign-ups

How to use it: 3 steps

1. Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
2. Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: [email protected] in Email addresses. Each start is one run.
3. Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Bulk Email Verifier checks a list of email addresses and gives every address a status: deliverable, risky, undeliverable or unknown, with the reasons. It checks syntax, DNS MX records, disposable and role addresses, free providers and domain typos. It does not open an SMTP connection, so it cannot confirm that a mailbox exists. No API key from an email provider. Your list is not sent to any third-party verification service.

• Checks the syntax by the email standards (RFC 5321 / 5322). For example, [email protected] is invalid because of the two dots.
• Looks up the domain in DNS: MX records, a "null MX" record (RFC 7505) that says "this domain takes no mail", and the A/AAAA fallback when there is no MX.
• Flags disposable domains (temporary inboxes like mailinator.com), role addresses (info@, support@, sales@…) and free providers (gmail.com, outlook.com…).
• Suggests a fix for a likely typo: [email protected] → [email protected].
• Names the mail provider from the MX hosts, for example Google or Microsoft.
• Gives one status and a list of reason codes.

Sample result

One result from a real test run, in JSON. Real values change from run to run. In Excel or CSV each field is a column.

Here [email protected] is risky because it is a role address (role_account): it goes to a team, not one person. mailbox_not_verified is on every address, because the tool never asks the mail server.

Use it from code

Actor ID: cliqtomedia/email-verifier. You need your Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/email-verifier").call(run_input={
    "emails": [
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]",
        "[email protected]"
    ],
    "emailField": "email"
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~email-verifier/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"emails": ["[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"], "emailField": "email"}'

# pip install langchain-apify
# set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment
from langchain_apify import ApifyActorsTool

tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/email-verifier")
result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"emails": ["[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"], "emailField": "email"}})
print(result)

The cURL call waits for the results, up to 300 seconds. For longer runs, start a run (/runs) and get the results with a webhook or by checking the run. Apify API docs. LlamaIndex, MCP for AI agents and the JavaScript client: AI agents & MCP.
