const getinbox = new Getinbox({
  apiKey: 'your_api_key', // or set GETINBOX_API_KEY env variable
});

// Find an email address
const { email } = await getinbox.emails.find({
  name: 'Elon Musk',
  company: 'spacex.com', // Using domain instead of company name provides better accuracy
});

// Verify an email address
const { isValid } = await getinbox.emails.verify({
  email: '[e-mail]',
});

// Check if email is disposable (temporary)
const { isDisposable } = await getinbox.emails.disposable({

});

Requirements

• Node.js 14 or later
• TypeScript 4.7 or later (optional)

API Reference

Authentication

Sign up for a free API key at 👉 getinbox.co/dashboard/api-key.

You can provide your API key in two ways:

1. Pass it when initializing the client:

const getinbox = new Getinbox({ apiKey: 'your_api_key' });

2. Set it as an environment variable:

export GETINBOX_API_KEY=your_api_key
const getinbox = new Getinbox(); // Will use GETINBOX_API_KEY env variable

Finding Email Addresses

Find someone's email address using their name and company information:

const response = await getinbox.emails.find({
  name: 'John Doe', // Full name of the person
  company: 'acme.com', // Company domain (preferred) or name
});

console.log(response.email); // => '[e-mail]'

Verifying Email Addresses

Verify if an email address exists and is deliverable:

const response = await getinbox.emails.verify({
  email: '[e-mail]',
});

console.log(response.isValid); // => true/false

Checking Disposable Email Addresses

Check if an email address is using a disposable or temporary email service:

const response = await getinbox.emails.disposable({
  email: '[e-mail]',
});

console.log(response.isDisposable); // => true/false
