Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability autoscrape-email-validation-api-878222f0
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether john.doe@example.com is a valid, deliverable email address — specifically whether it has proper syntax and a working MX record?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, fast email address validation covering syntax, MX record existence, and free-provider detection without requiring a paid third-party verification service. It is especially useful in agent workflows that need to screen email lists or validate user-submitted addresses at low cost ($0.01 USDC per call). Prefer it for bulk validation use cases via the comma-separated emails parameter with concurrency control. If you need inbox-level ping verification or catch-all detection, a more specialized deliverability service may be warranted.

## Known failure modes

- Missing email/query/emails parameter returns an error or empty results
- Invalid query string format may cause parsing errors
- Concurrency value above 20 is capped or rejected
- maxResults above 100 is capped at 100
- DNS lookup timeouts may cause mxFound to return false even for valid domains
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request

## How this service works

No-key evaluation APIs for public data and utilities: business filings, permits, bankruptcy dockets, NPI providers, HTTP status checks, sitemap URL extraction, SEC EDGAR, IRS 990, WHOIS, and validation. Paid x402 access is live.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count and a results array. Each result includes the original email address, a boolean valid flag, mxFound (whether a valid MX DNS record exists), syntaxValid (whether the address is syntactically correct), and freeProvider (whether the domain belongs to a known free email service like Gmail or Yahoo).
