Postman collection
Try every API request from Postman: our collection holds one request per API operation, with descriptions, example bodies and saved example answers, and two environments, one for each API host. Download the files below and import them into your own workspace.
Status: setup guide. The collection is not in the Postman API Network yet, so there is no public workspace to fork from and no Run in Postman button. The downloads below are the same collection, generated from our API reference, and updated whenever the API changes.
Download the files
- The collection: every request, in folders (Validation, Account, Bulk jobs, Service, MCP, A2A).
- The US environment: requests go to
https://api.email-validation.org. - The EU environment: requests go to
https://api-eu.email-validation.org, where addresses are validated in the EU and their results stored there (EU data residency).
Both environments hold an empty apiKey: no key is in any file.
Import and send your first request
- In Postman, click Import and drop in the collection and one or both environment files.
- Pick the environment email-validation.org (US) or email-validation.org (EU) at the top right.
- Create a key on the API keys page and paste it into the environment's
apiKeycurrent value. Keep the initial value empty: initial values are shared with everyone in your workspace. The variable is of type secret, so Postman masks it. - Open Validation > Validate an email address and click Send. Its body checks
accepted@sandbox.email-validation.org, a free test address: the answer isvalid, reasonaccepted.
The key goes in the Authorization header as a bearer token, set once for the whole collection (authentication). The status, latency and OpenAPI requests need no key and send none.
Bulk lists
- Bulk jobs > Create a bulk job sends a list of addresses as JSON. Its test script keeps the new job's id in the collection variable
jobId. - Get a bulk job shows the job's status and progress. The job starts on its own; to review it first, enable the create request's
startparameter with the valuefalse, then use Start a bulk job when the job isready. - When the status is
completed, Download bulk results (CSV) returns the results file.
A create request sent twice creates two lists, so send it once per list. Use test addresses in your lists while you try it: they are free in bulk jobs too. More: bulk jobs.
Two requests that always use the US host
Validate an email address (query string) and Get the A2A agent card go to https://api.email-validation.org in both environments: the EU host does not offer them. On the EU host, validate with Validate an email address (the address in a POST body).
Keep the collection current
The collection follows the OpenAPI document. After an API change, download it again and import it with Replace to keep your environments and current values.
