About

Abstract API’s Email Validation and Verification API provides real-time email verification designed to help teams reduce bounce rates, clean signup forms, and improve the quality of inbound leads. It validates email addresses through a single REST API and returns structured JSON responses that support fast, automated decision-making.

The service checks core deliverability signals such as syntax, MX records, SMTP validity, disposable domains, catch-all behavior, and typo detection. It also offers deeper enrichment and risk insights on higher plans, including sender details, domain intelligence, quality scoring, and breach-related signals.

Credit card Not required
Feature parity 83%

The page explicitly shows a Free plan at $0/month with 100 requests and 3 requests/second, and the cheapest paid plan is Starter at $17/month. Because this is a capped free tier, the conservative FTV signal is the lowest paid plan price that exceeds the free cap, which is $17/month. No credit amount or trial duration is shown, and the page explicitly says “No credit card required,” so no_cc_required is true.
