Email Verification API

Response Codes

1min

The API makes use of standard HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of a request. The 2xx series of response codes indicate success, 4xx indicates an error from the client-side, and a 5xx error indicates a server-side error.

Please check response codes and handle accordingly. Contact us if you run into repeated issues, especially in the 5XX error range.
