FAQ about Abstract's
Email validation API
Are these tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use with no account required. You get 5 checks per day per tool, enough to validate a phone number, verify an email address, or look up an IP address on the spot. If you need higher daily limits or programmatic access, create a free API key: no credit card, no commitment.
Do I need to create an account to use these tools?
No. You can validate a phone number, check an email, or analyze an IP address instantly, right in your browser. Creating a free account unlocks higher daily limits and gives you an API key for integrating validation into your own applications.
What's the difference between using a tool and the API?
The tools on this page let you check one value at a time through your browser. Type in a phone number, email address, or IP address, and you get results in seconds. The API does the same thing programmatically: you send a request, and you get structured data back in under 200ms. Same data, same accuracy, but the API handles thousands of requests per second for production workflows like signup forms, CRM enrichment, or fraud screening.
How accurate are the results?
Accuracy depends on the data type. Phone validation cross-references carrier databases and number-plan assignments, with 95%+ accuracy on carrier and line-type detection. Email verification checks syntax, MX records, and SMTP deliverability in real time, catching 97%+ of invalid addresses before they bounce. IP geolocation resolves to the correct country 99%+ of the time, with city-level accuracy varying by region and ISP. Every data point is sourced from authoritative registries and updated continuously.
What data do you collect when I use a tool?
The value you enter (phone number, email, or IP address) is sent to Abstract's API to generate results. We do not store the inputs or results from free tool lookups, and we do not use them to build profiles or sell data. If you create an account, your API usage is logged for billing and rate-limit purposes only. Full details are in our privacy policy.
Can I use these tools for commercial purposes?
The browser-based tools are designed for individual lookups: checking a phone number during a support call, verifying an email before sending, or investigating a suspicious IP. For commercial use at any volume (batch validation, automated enrichment, real-time fraud checks), sign up for an API key. Plans start free and scale with your usage, so you only pay when you outgrow the free tier.
Which APIs power these tools?
Each tool is backed by one of Abstract's core APIs:
Phone tools are powered by Phone Intelligence, which returns carrier, line type, validity, and formatting data for numbers in 190+ countries.
Email tools use Email Intelligence, covering syntax checks, SMTP verification, disposable-domain detection, and domain-age lookups.
IP tools run on IP Intelligence, providing geolocation, VPN detection, proxy detection, Tor detection, and abuse-risk scoring for any IPv4 or IPv6 address.
You can explore each API's documentation, response format, and pricing from the API catalog.
