Quickstart

Three steps to your first verified email.

1. Create an account

Sign up at bouncecheck.email and verify your email address. Every new account starts on the FREE plan (50 verifications/month).

2. Create an API key

Open the API Keys page in your dashboard and create a key. The plaintext key is shown once — copy it and store it securely.

3. Make your first call

Pass the key in the X-API-Key header:

curl -X POST https://api.bouncecheck.email/api/v1/verification/single \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "[email protected]"}'

A successful response looks like:

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "is_valid": true,
  "status": "Valid",
  "message": "Address is deliverable"
}
