## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## 🔥Email Verifier by Million Verifier

✅ #1 Email Verification Service  
✅ Only pay for valid and invalid emails  
✅ No charge for catch all emails

This Apify actor verifies email addresses in bulk using the Million Verifier service. Every email is checked in seconds, you’re only billed for decisive results (valid, disposable, invalid), and responses land in the default dataset ready for download or automation.

### 💸 Pricing & Charging
- You’re billed $1 per 1,000 decisive verifications (result: `ok`, `disposable`, `invalid`).
- Catch-all, unknown, and other non-decisive outcomes are free.
- Charging happens automatically after each processing batch; the actor logs a summary at the end of the run.

### ✨ Features
- 🧹 Automatic deduplication across runs.
- 📊 Resumable stats and per-batch charging ensure accurate billing.
- 📈 Built-in dataset view for a clean, browsable summary in the Apify console.

### 📝 Input

- **emails** (required, array of strings): Email addresses you want to verify.

> Tip: You can paste a list directly into the “Emails” field in the Apify input UI—each line should contain a single address.

### ▶️ How to Run
1. Open the actor on Apify and click **Run**.
2. Paste or upload the list of emails into the `emails` field (or use the prefill to test).
3. Press **Start**. You’ll see live logs and progress in the console.
4. When the run finishes, visit the **Dataset** tab to download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

### 📦 Output
The actor writes each verification result to the default dataset. Results are sanitized to remove metadata fields that are not relevant for end users.
