SPF Validator API

SPF Validator checks the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) DNS record for a domain to verify if it’s valid and optionally whether a given IP address is authorized to send emails for that domain.

The SPF Validator API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate spf validator functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready spf validator capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.

Quick Start

Using JavaScript

async function callSPFValidatorAPI() {
    try {
        const params = new URLSearchParams({
            domain: 'myspace.com'
        });

        const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/spfvalidator?${params}`, {
            method: 'GET',
            headers: {
                'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
            }
        });

        const data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error:', error);
    }
}

callSPFValidatorAPI();

Using cURL

curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/spfvalidator?domain=myspace.com" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
