Overview
DropMail provides a GraphQL API for creating and managing temporary email inboxes, letting you generate disposable addresses and receive real emails without registration. It is useful for automated testing flows that require email verification steps. No API key is needed, and inboxes are automatically deleted after they expire.
Beginner Tip
Use GraphQL mutations to create a session first, then poll the inbox using the session ID to check for incoming messages. Store the session token after creation — there is no way to recover a lost session since the service is completely anonymous.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
