Verifalia provides a simple HTTPS-based API for validating email addresses and checking whether or not they are deliverable; this Ruby gem allows to communicate with the Verifalia API, scrubbing lists of email addresses in a couple of lines of code.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'verifalia'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install verifalia
require 'verifalia'
# put your own credentials here (grabbed from your Verifalia client account area)
account_sid = 'YOUR-ACCOUNT-SID'
auth_token = 'YOUR-AUTH-TOKEN'
# set up a client to talk to the Verifalia REST API
@client = Verifalia::REST::Client.new account_sid, auth_token
# alternatively, you can preconfigure the client like so
Verifalia.configure do |config|
config.account_sid = account_sid
config.auth_token = auth_token
end
# and then you can create a new client without parameters
@client = Verifalia::REST::Client.new#from scratch
emails = ['[email protected]', '[email protected]']
if (unique_id = @client.email_validations.verify(emails))
#response is an hash with all the values returned
response = @client.email_validations.query
@client.email_validations.destroy
else
#error is HTTP status code in symbol (:bad_request)
error = @client.email_validations.error
end
#with previous unique id
unique_id = "example-example"
respone = @client.email_validations(unique_id: unique_id).query
@client.email_validations(unique_id: unique_id).destroy
