Checks whether an email address is real and deliverable, and whether it’s a catch-all or disposable inbox. Send email. This is an older copy of hunter-email-verifier; prefer that one.

• Tool id: hunter-email-verify
• Provider: Hunter
• Job: Verify an email address is deliverable (people.email.verify)
• Price: $0.0123 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

Inputs

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 3 real answers:

{ data: { block, email, score, regexp, result, status, sources: { uri, domain, extracted_on, last_seen_on, still_on_page }[], webmail, gibberish, accept_all, disposable, mx_records, smtp_check, smtp_server, _deprecation_notice }, meta: { params: { email } } }

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"hunter-email-verify","input":{"email":"jane.doe@example.com"},"wait":30}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "hunter-email-verify",
    input: {
      email: "jane.doe@example.com",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",

    },

run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
