FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What's the rate limit?
- Authenticated API calls are limited per key and per plan. Responses include X-RateLimit-* headers, and 429 responses include Retry-After. Contact us for high-volume needs.
- Is the API synchronous?
- Mostly. A single verification waits for its result, and if a fresh check is still running when the request window closes it answers pending with a job ID to poll. Bulk verification is asynchronous, with webhook notifications.
- Do you have an OpenAPI spec?
- Yes. The OpenAPI 3.1 document is published at https://kawaa.com/openapi.json. It describes the routes a customer integration uses (verification, jobs and results, account and usage, API keys, webhooks, activity, deliverability, the email finder and the billing catalogue), not every route the API serves. Published Node.js and Python packages are available; other languages call the REST API directly.
