Every verification, scored and tracked in real time. This is the exact overview you get once you're in, filled with sample activity.
How it works
Three steps to clean emails.
01
Choose your checks
Enable only the checks you need. You only pay for what you enable.
02
Get your API key
Create an account, grab your key. No credit card required to start.
03
Verify in real time
One API call per email, or drop a CSV. Get a 0–100 deliverability score.
Built for agents tooOne honest answer,
One honest answer,
whoever's asking.
Your code and your agents call the same endpoint and get the same honest verdict: valid, invalid, risky, or unknown, never a guess dressed up as certainty.
terminal
$ curl -s https://api.pricklymails.com/api/verify \
-H "Authorization: Bearer pm_live_9f3a..." \
-d '{"email": "j.doe@newventure.io"}'
{
"status": "unknown",
"reason": "timeout",
"score": 48
}
Drop it into any MCP client's toolbox. No wrapper, no glue code.
Metered per verification, so an agent running unattended only spends what it actually checks.
What's insideEverything you need to
Everything you need to
send with confidence.
- 01
A live pipeline, not a static blocklist.
Syntax, MX, then a real SMTP negotiation with the receiving server: the verdict lands live, never from a frozen list.
- 02
Flags what quietly drags down your sender reputation.
Disposable, catch-all, role addresses: all flagged, so a technically valid address never passes as safe.
- 03
Typos get corrected, not bounced.
gmial.com corrected to gmail.com, before the email ever bounces.
- 04
One score, every downstream decision.
Every check rolls into a single 0-to-100 score, ready to wire into your business logic.

Why trust usVerification built on
Verification built on
honesty, not hype.
No inflated accuracy claims, no data hoarding, no fabricated guesses. Just an API built the way developers actually want it.
- 02
We keep a hash. Never the address.
The usual approach keeps your lists on file, and sometimes resells them. We keep only an irreversible hash, used for deduplication and aggregate stats. Nothing to resell, nothing to leak.
- 03
When we don't know, we say so.
Many tools return a confident valid even when they can't actually know. A mailbox that can't be conclusively probed comes back risky or unknown here, documented, never a fabricated pass.
- 04
One call. JSON back. Nothing else.
The usual approach locks you into a dashboard with no real API underneath. One authenticated POST to /api/verify returns JSON, and every error carries a typed key, never a localized surprise.
FAQ
Common questions
Every address runs through syntax, MX, SMTP mailbox probing, disposable-domain detection, role and free-provider flags, catch-all detection, and typo correction. Large providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo block direct mailbox probing to prevent enumeration, so those addresses get a valid verdict with a capped score instead of a fabricated guess. When we are not sure, we say so.
