Python Examples

Python code examples for integrating the nofakemails email validation API.

Single Email Validation

Validate a single email address with a GET request to the /v1/email/{email} endpoint.

validate_email.py
import requests
import os

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.nofakemails.com/v1/email/user@example.com',
    headers={'X-API-Key': os.environ['NOFAKEMAILS_API_KEY']}
)

result = response.json()
print(result)

Response:

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "valid": true,
  "normalized": "user@example.com",
  "local_part": "user",
  "alias": false,
  "ascii": true,
  "role": null,
  "gibberish": false,
  "gibberish_score": 0.12,
  "domain": "example.com",
  "mx": true,
  "disposable": false,
  "public": false,
  "relay": false,
  "typo": false,
  "typo_suggestion": null
}

See the Response Format page for a full description of every field.

Batch Validation

Validate up to 64 email addresses in a single POST request to the /v1/emails endpoint.

validate_batch.py
import requests
import os

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.nofakemails.com/v1/emails',
    headers={
        'X-API-Key': os.environ['NOFAKEMAILS_API_KEY'],
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'emails': [
            'user1@example.com',
            'user2@gmail.com',
            'test@tempmail.com'
        ]
    }
)

batch = response.json()

# Check for partial results (timeout)
if batch['partial']:
    print('Warning: some emails may not have been processed')

print(f"Total: {batch['total']}, Valid: {batch['valid_count']}")

for item in batch['results']:
    if item['status'] == 'error':
        print(f"{item['email']}: ERROR - {item['error']['message']}")
        continue

    r = item['result']
    print(f"{r['email']}: valid={r['valid']}, disposable={r['disposable']}")
