Getting Started

Zeruh is a powerful email verification service that helps you verify email addresses in real-time. Our platform is designed to be simple and easy to use, allowing you to integrate email verification into your applications with minimal effort. This platform is an extension of Maileroo and has been built on its own isolated platform, but can be accessed via single-sign-on from your Maileroo dashboard.

What is Zeruh?​

Zeruh is an email verification API that validates email addresses to determine if they are valid and deliverable. Our service performs comprehensive checks including:

  • Format Validation - Ensures the email follows proper syntax
  • Domain Verification - Checks if the domain exists and has valid MX records
  • SMTP Verification - Tests if the mailbox actually exists
  • Quality Assessment - Identifies disposable emails, catch-all domains, and role-based addresses
  • IP Intelligence - Provides location and proxy/VPN detection when IP addresses are provided
