Making your first verification

Learn how to verify your first email address using the Kawaa API.

Single email verification

The simplest way to verify an email is using a POST request:

curl -X POST https://api.kawaa.com/v1/verify \
  -H "X-Api-Key: ev_your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "john@example.com"}'

Using our SDKs

We provide published packages for Node.js and Python. Clients for other languages are not yet published; from those languages, call the REST API directly.

Python

from kawaa import Kawaa

client = Kawaa(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")
result = client.verify("john@example.com")
print(result.status)  # "valid" or "invalid"

Node.js

const { Kawaa } = require('kawaa');

const client = new Kawaa('YOUR_API_KEY');
const result = await client.verify('john@example.com');
console.log(result.status);

Testing in the dashboard

You can also test email verification directly in your dashboard without writing any code. Go to the Dashboard and use the single verification form.
