## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need per-email deliverability verification powered by Findymail's verifier, available as a pay-per-use API at $0.015 USDC per call with no subscription required. Prefer it over bulk validation services when verifying individual emails on-demand in automated workflows, or when you need a lightweight, agent-callable verification step before sending outreach or onboarding contacts.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed email input returns an error
- Network or DNS lookup failures may cause inconclusive results
- Catch-all mail servers may return ambiguous deliverability results
- Credit exhaustion if verifier credits are depleted
- Temporary SMTP server issues may cause false negatives

## How this service works

Verify an email address. Uses one verifier credit on all attempted verifications.

## Output

Returns a verification result indicating whether the email address is valid and deliverable, including status signals such as whether the mailbox exists, is reachable, or is likely to bounce. Consumes one verifier credit regardless of outcome.
