# Email Verification Overview

> Verify email addresses and contacts in real time with the HoopAI Platform LC Email REST API.

The HoopAI Platform LC Email REST API lets you verify the deliverability of an email address or a contact's email before sending. Submit an address or contact ID and receive a deliverability verdict, a risk rating, and a platform-specific recommendation — helping you reduce bounce rates and protect your sender reputation.

## Base URL

```
https://services.leadconnectorhq.com
```

## Authentication

Every request requires a Bearer token and an API version header.

```bash theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
Version: 2021-07-28
```

Use an access token generated with user type **Account**, or a **Private Integration Token** from an Account. See [OAuth 2.0](/api-reference/oauth/overview) for details.

## OAuth scopes

This API uses location-level access. No additional named scopes are required beyond a valid Account access token.

| Scope                     | Access granted                                            |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| *(location access token)* | Verify emails and contacts for the authenticated location |

## Quick start

Verify an email address:

```bash theme={null}
curl -X POST "https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/email/verify?locationId=<locationId>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
  -H "Version: 2021-07-28" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "type": "email",
    "verify": "user@example.com"
  }'
```

## Endpoints
