TempMailChecker Node.js SDK

Detect disposable email addresses in real-time with the TempMailChecker API. Block fake signups, prevent spam, and protect your platform from abuse.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

npm install @tempmailchecker/node-sdk
# or
yarn add @tempmailchecker/node-sdk
# or
pnpm add @tempmailchecker/node-sdk

Basic Usage

import TempMailChecker from '@tempmailchecker/node-sdk';

// Initialize with your API key
const checker = new TempMailChecker('your_api_key_here');

// Check if an email is disposable
const isDisposable = await checker.isDisposable('[email protected]');

if (isDisposable) {
  console.log('Blocked: This is a disposable email');
} else {
  console.log('Valid: This is a legitimate email');
}

📖 Documentation

Check Email Address

const checker = new TempMailChecker('your_api_key');

// Simple boolean check
const isDisposable = await checker.isDisposable('[email protected]');

// Get full response
const result = await checker.check('[email protected]');
// Returns: { temp: false }

Check Domain

// Check just the domain
const isDisposable = await checker.isDisposableDomain('tempmail.com');

// Get full response
const result = await checker.checkDomain('guerrillamail.com');

Regional Endpoints

Use regional endpoints for lower latency. All endpoints use /check and /usage directly (no /api prefix):

import TempMailChecker, { ENDPOINT_EU, ENDPOINT_US, ENDPOINT_ASIA } from '@tempmailchecker/node-sdk';

// EU endpoint (default)
const checker = new TempMailChecker('your_api_key');
// or explicitly:
const checker = new TempMailChecker('your_api_key', { endpoint: ENDPOINT_EU });

// US endpoint
const checker = new TempMailChecker('your_api_key', { endpoint: ENDPOINT_US });

// Asia endpoint
const checker = new TempMailChecker('your_api_key', { endpoint: ENDPOINT_ASIA });

Check Usage

const usage = await checker.getUsage();
// Returns: { usage_today: 15, limit: 25, reset: 'midnight UTC' }

Error Handling

import TempMailChecker from '@tempmailchecker/node-sdk';

try {
  const isDisposable = await checker.isDisposable('[email protected]');
} catch (error) {
  if (error.message.includes('Rate limit')) {
    // Handle rate limit
  } else {
    // Handle other errors
    console.error('Error:', error.message);
  }
}

  const { email } = req.body;

  try {
    if (await checker.isDisposable(email)) {
      return res.status(400).json({ 
        error: 'Disposable email addresses are not allowed' 
      });
    }

    // Proceed with signup
    // ...

    console.error('TempMailChecker error:', error);
    // Fail open - allow signup on API error
  }
});

    return res.status(405).json({ error: 'Method not allowed' });
  }

  const { email } = req.body;

  try {
    const isDisposable = await checker.isDisposable(email);

    try {
      return !(await this.checker.isDisposable(email));
    } catch (error) {
