Overview
EmailRep is a free API that evaluates the risk and reputation of an email address in seconds. It checks signals like domain age, whether the email has been seen in data breaches, and social media presence to return a risk score. Developers use it to flag suspicious signups and reduce fraud without requiring user verification.
Beginner Tip
No API key is required for basic lookups — just send a GET request with the email address in the URL path. For higher rate limits and more detailed signals, register for a free API key at emailrep.io.
