Endpoint tested and returned HTTP 200 on 2026-08-19
What is the Kickbox Disposable API?
The Kickbox disposable email API is a free, open endpoint that returns whether a given email address or domain belongs to a disposable email provider. It requires no API key and returns a single boolean field.
This is about as minimal as a useful API gets: one request, one boolean. Kickbox publishes it as a free public service alongside their commercial email verification product, and it needs no signup.
Because the response is tiny and the check is cheap, it is well suited to running inline during signup validation. For deeper checks — mailbox existence, role addresses, catch-all detection — you would need their paid verification API.

Kickbox Disposable API — frequently asked questions
Is the Kickbox disposable API free?
Yes, it is an open endpoint requiring no API key or signup. Kickbox provides it free alongside their paid verification product.
What does it actually check?
Only whether the domain belongs to a known disposable email provider. It does not verify that the mailbox exists or that mail will be delivered.
How is it different from Disify?
Kickbox returns just a disposable boolean; Disify additionally reports format validity, DNS status and whether the domain is a whitelisted major provider. Using both gives a stronger signal.
Can I verify whether an inbox actually exists?
Not with this endpoint. Mailbox-level verification requires Kickbox's paid API, since it involves SMTP probing.
