POST /api/v1/email/validate/bulk Bearer

Everything an AI coding assistant needs to write a working Bulk Email Validation integration without opening another page: endpoint, authentication, parameters, a real request, both response shapes and the platform rules it cannot infer from a single example. Copy the brief below and paste it into Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT or any other agent.

# Bulk Email Validation API — Way2API®

- **Endpoint:** `POST https://app.way2api.com/api/v1/email/validate/bulk`
- **Auth:** `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` (or `X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY`)
- **Content-Type:** `application/json`
- **Category:** Utilities
- **Availability:** Available worldwide
- **Docs:** https://app.way2api.com/documentation/email-validation-bulk

## What it does

Bulk Email Validation API — the same deliverability check as Email Validation, for up to 100 addresses in a single billable call. Every entry in results has exactly the shape a single-address lookup returns, so one parser handles both endpoints. Duplicate addresses are collapsed before the lookup, and total_requested versus total_returned lets you detect a short response. Built for cleaning imported lists, validating CSV uploads and periodic re-verification of a mailing database.

## Request body (application/json)

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `emails` | array | yes | Array of 1–100 email addresses to validate, e.g. ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]. Duplicates are removed. |

## Example request

```bash
curl -X POST https://app.way2api.com/api/v1/email/validate/bulk \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"emails":["[email protected]","not-an-email"]}'
```

## Error response — 400

```json
{
    "status": "FAILED",
    "status_code": 400,
    "charged": false,
    "success": false,
    "message": "Please provide data in required format in request body",
    "message_code": "REQUEST_FAILED",
    "order_id": "W2A1739512345abcdef01",
    "data": {
        "order_id": "W2A1739512345abcdef01",
        "error_code": "Invalid request body Exception"
    }
}
```

## Integration rules

- Every response is JSON carrying `status`, `status_code`, `charged`, `success`, `message`, `message_code` and (once a call reaches the provider) `order_id`. The verification payload is under `data.result`.
- `charged` (boolean) is the authority on billing. Do NOT infer it from the HTTP status: `422` is returned both for input we rejected (not charged) and for a lookup the provider ran and billed us for that returned a negative result (charged).
- `message_code` is a fixed vocabulary — branch on it instead of parsing `message`. Values: `OK`, `ACCEPTED`, `PROVIDER_NO_RESPONSE`, `VERIFICATION_FAILED`, `NO_RECORD_FOUND`, `INVALID_INPUT`, `REQUEST_FAILED`, `MISSING_API_KEY`, `INVALID_API_KEY`, `INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE`, `NO_API_ACCESS`, `NOT_FOUND`, `RATE_LIMITED`, `INTERNAL_ERROR`, `PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE`.
- `success` reports the verification outcome; `status` reports the ORDER lifecycle (`SUCCESS`/`PENDING`/`FAILED`). They differ on a charged negative result: the order completed and was billed while the verification did not pass.
- A failed verification is still a successful HTTP call — the outcome lives in the response body, so do not treat `200` as "verified".
- Status codes: `200` result returned, `202` pending or provider did not respond (both charged — quote the `order_id`), `401` missing/invalid key, `402` insufficient balance, `403` no access to this service, `422` see `charged`, `429` rate limited (honour the `Retry-After` header), `503` temporarily unavailable.
- Rate limits are per API key, per service, on a 1-minute sliding window.
- Load the API key from an environment variable or secret store. Never hard-code it, never commit it, and never ship it in client-side code — calls must be made from your backend.

Prompts to pair it with

  • Write a production-ready Bulk Email Validation integration in PHP using this spec, with error handling and retries.
  • Given this spec, generate typed request/response models and a client class.
  • Review my existing Bulk Email Validation integration against this spec and list what I handle incorrectly.
⚠ Before you paste generated code

Never let an assistant hard-code your API key — load it from an environment variable or a secret store, and call this endpoint from your backend only. A failed verification is still a successful HTTP call, so check the success field in the body rather than treating 200 as verified.
