Validate emails using Kickbox.io API in Ruby on Rails and fallback to basic syntax email validation if Kickbox.io API fails for any reason
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'kickbox_rails'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Execute next command for generate initializer kickbox_rails.rb, where you can configure your kickbox.io account api_key:
$ rails g kickbox_rails:install
# Rails
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
validates_kickbox_email_format :email
# OR
validates :email, kickbox_email_format: { message: 'Email is invalid' }
end
# Non Rails
KickboxRails.valid?("example@email.com")
KickboxRails.invalid?("example@email.com")
If you want to get related info from kickbox.io API use validate method
KickboxRails.validate("bill.lumbergh@gamil.com") =>
{
"result":"invalid",
"reason":"rejected_email",
"role":false,
"free":false,
"disposable":false,
"accept_all":false,
"did_you_mean":"bill.lumbergh@gmail.com",
"sendex":0,
"email":"bill.lumbergh@gamil.com",
"user":"bill.lumbergh",
"domain":"gamil.com",
"success":true,
"message":null
}
