Top-level fields present in the response we captured, with the type and value we actually received.

Captured Response

Captured from a real request to https://www.purgomalum.com/service/json?text=This+is+some+bad+text on 2026-08-10. Long arrays and nested objects are truncated to keep the shape readable.

Implementation Example

Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.

const url = "https://www.purgomalum.com/service/json?text=This+is+some+bad+text";
const response = await fetch(url);
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

import requests

url = "https://www.purgomalum.com/service/json?text=This+is+some+bad+text"
headers = {}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, timeout=30)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()
print(data)

curl "https://www.purgomalum.com/service/json?text=This+is+some+bad+text"

What Can You Build?

// Validate an email address
const email = '[email protected]';
const response = await fetch(`http://www.purgomalum.com`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log('Valid:', data.valid ?? data.is_valid);
console.log('Details:', data);

// Validate form input data
const formData = { field: '[email protected]' };
const response = await fetch(`http://www.purgomalum.com`);
const result = await response.json();
const isValid = result.valid || result.is_valid || false;
document.getElementById('status').textContent = 
  isValid ? '✅ Valid input' : '❌ Invalid input';

// Validate data using PurgoMalum
const input = '+1-555-123-4567';
const response = await fetch(`http://www.purgomalum.com`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log('Validation result:', data);
if (data.valid) {
  console.log('Input is valid:', data.formatted || input);
} else {
  console.log('Validation failed:', data.error || 'Invalid input');
}

How This API Fails

We deliberately sent this API a broken request and recorded exactly what came back on 2026-08-10. Knowing the shape of an error before you hit it makes error handling much easier to write.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.
