Detects disposable emails, free email providers, role-based addresses, and provides risk scoring. - **URL**: https://apify.com/greip/email-scoring.md - **Developed by:** [Greip](https://apify.com/greip) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation, Other - **Stats:** 2 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $0.15 / 1,000 requests This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## Greip's Email Addres Scoring [![Apify](https://img.shields.io/badge/built%20on-Apify-brightgreen)](https://apify.com) [![License: ISC](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-ISC-blue.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/ISC) [![Node.js Version](https://img.shields.io/badge/node-%3E%3D18.0.0-brightgreen)](https://nodejs.org/) A robust Apify Actor that validates and scores email addresses using the **Greip Email Scoring API**. This tool helps identify risky, disposable, and invalid email addresses to improve email deliverability and reduce fraud. ### πŸš€ Features - **Email Risk Scoring**: Get numerical risk scores for email addresses - **Comprehensive Validation**: Detect invalid, disposable, and role-based emails - **Domain Analysis**: Check for SPF, DMARC, DKIM, and MX records - **Blacklist Detection**: Identify blacklisted domains and email addresses - **Educational/Free Provider Detection**: Flag educational and free email providers - **Structured Output**: Clean, well-formatted JSON results stored in datasets - **Error Handling**: Robust error handling with detailed logging ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------- | | `email` | string | βœ… | Email address to validate and score | | `userID` | string | ❌ | Optional user identifier for tracking | ### Output Format The Actor outputs detailed information about each email address: ```json { "score": 3, "reason": "Email domain is considered dangerous.", "isValid": false, "isFree": false, "isRoleBased": true, "isEducational": false, "isDisposable": false, "email": "test@dangerous-domain.com", "domain": { "name": "dangerous-domain.com", "is_dangerous": true, "is_spf": false, "is_dmarc": false, "is_dkim": false, "is_mx": false, "is_bimi": false, "created_at": "2025-02-05", "is_new": true } } ```` #### Output Field Descriptions **Email Scoring Fields:** - `score`: Risk score from 0-3 (0=safe, 1=low-risk, 2=high-risk, 3=too-risky) - `reason`: Human-readable explanation of the risk assessment (empty if `score` is `0`) - `isValid`: Boolean indicating if the email is 100% safe and valid - `isFree`: Whether it's from a free email provider (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) - `isRoleBased`: Whether it's a role-based email (admin@, info@, support@, etc.) - `isEducational`: Whether it's from an educational institution - `isDisposable`: Whether it's from a temporary/disposable email service **Domain Information:** - `name`: The domain name (e.g., "gmail.com") - `is_dangerous`: Whether the domain is flagged as dangerous or suspicious - `is_spf`: Whether the domain has valid SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record - `is_dmarc`: Whether the domain has valid DMARC record for anti-phishing - `is_dkim`: Whether the domain has valid DKIM record for authentication - `is_mx`: Whether the domain has valid MX (Mail Exchange) records - `is_bimi`: Whether the domain has BIMI (Brand Indicators) record - `created_at`: Domain registration date (if available) - `is_new`: Whether the domain was registered within the last year ### Your feedback We’re always working on improving the performance of our Actors.
