# Email Normalize

> Email Normalize is a paid API for AI agents from intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Normalizes an email address to its canonical form by lowercasing, stripping plus-tags, and applying provider-specific rules (Gmail dot-insensitivity, googlemail.com alias, etc.) for deduplication.

## 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 email-normalize-368dad1b
```

Example prompt: Can you normalize the email address 'John.Doe+newsletter@GoogleMail.com' to its canonical form so I can check for duplicates in my user database?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to reliably deduplicate email addresses across provider-specific variations — especially when handling Gmail dot-insensitivity, googlemail.com aliases, or plus-tag stripping across multiple providers (Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, Proton, Fastmail). Prefer this over simple lowercasing or regex-based stripping when accuracy across multiple email providers matters.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed email input returns an error
- Invalid email format may not be processable
- Unsupported or unknown provider may receive only basic normalization (lowercase, plus-tag strip) without provider-specific rules
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns a non-200 response
- Payment failure (insufficient funds for $0.01 USDC) blocks the call

## How this service works

Email normalizer: lowercases, strips plus-tags, applies provider rules (Gmail ignores dots, googlemail.com = gmail.com, outlook/hotmail/yahoo/proton/fastmail +tags) and returns a canonical form for deduplicating contact lists and detecting duplicate signups. $0.01 per address.

## Output

Returns the canonical, normalized form of the input email address after applying lowercasing, plus-tag stripping, dot-insensitivity rules for Gmail, provider alias resolution (googlemail.com → gmail.com), and plus-tag rules for Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo, Proton, and Fastmail.
