A REST API for checking if an e-mail address is disposable (a.k.a. throwaway).

WebGazer offers this as a publicly available service. You can freely use it on https://isemaildisposable.webgazer.io.

For example, a GET request to https://isemaildisposable.webgazer.io/?email=johndoe@getnada.com will return with this response:

{
  "isDisposable": true
}

You can send full e-mail address or only the domain, too. If you don't set the email query parameter, you will get a HTTP 400 Bad Request response.

The application is also available to be used as a docker image. You can deploy your own self-hosted version:

$ docker run -p 80:80 th0th/is-email-disposable

If you came across a new domain that is used a disposable e-mail address source, you can add it to domains.json in a pull request. Please mind that domains in this file are listed alphabetically.

Even if this is a very simple application, if you have some kind of improvement idea, don't hesitate to create an issue. Or a PR would be even better :)
