$ pip install requests
API Request must be a valid json object containing only one field `email` with value as valid email address. An invalid email address will also be accepted and result in a syntax error during email verification process.
{
"email": "[email protected]"
}Apart from email address, we also accept two additional parameters which are optional. Once provided, our API performs enhanced security checks. These parameters are `name` and `ip`.
{
"email": "[email protected]",
"name": "ABC Person",
"ip": "1.1.1.1"
}The name parameter is reserved for future and will be used for identity verification purpose in case the person is providing fake name against the name associated with the person. This is intended for verification which involve payment frauds. The ip parameter once provided will be used to get location information and threat intelligence such as if the IP is behind a VPN, TOR Exit, Proxy or is known to be spammer.
