Code samples

Each sample sends the same request. Set PROSPECTAPIS_KEY in your environment first. Values come from the spec's examples; replace them with your own.

curl https://api.prospectapis.com/v1/email/verify/jobs/3f6c1d2e-8b4a-4f7e-9c21-5a0d7e9b4c13 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PROSPECTAPIS_KEY"

const res = await fetch("https://api.prospectapis.com/v1/email/verify/jobs/3f6c1d2e-8b4a-4f7e-9c21-5a0d7e9b4c13", {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PROSPECTAPIS_KEY}` },
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status}: ${(await res.json().catch(() => ({}))).error ?? res.statusText}`);
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.prospectapis.com/v1/email/verify/jobs/3f6c1d2e-8b4a-4f7e-9c21-5a0d7e9b4c13",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['PROSPECTAPIS_KEY']}"},
    timeout=30,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()
print(data)

Billing

This call is free: it never spends credits, so you can call it as often as the rate limit allows. Metered calls on the same key report your balance after each response in X-Credits-Remaining, and GET /v1/account shows it at any time.
