Developer API
The API is temporarily unavailable. The inbox on the site works exactly as before.
Service paused
We have stopped offering programmatic access for now. Existing scripts calling the endpoints should expect them to stop working, so please do not build anything new against them in the meantime.
Why it is paused
The API was a thin layer over the same upstream provider that delivers mail to the site, and offering it as a free automated service on top of that is not something we can keep doing responsibly at the moment. Rather than leave it running and have it break unpredictably, we would rather stop, rework how inboxes are provisioned, and bring it back on infrastructure we control.
We have no date for that. It depends on work that has not started yet, and we would rather say nothing than promise a month and miss it.
What still works
- The disposable inbox on the site is unaffected. Generate an address, receive mail, read it.
- Everything on the site remains free and needs no account.
- The guides still stand as a method, even without our endpoints: the email testing guide and the verification flow walkthrough describe an approach that works against any disposable inbox provider with an HTTP API.
Tell me when it is back
Leave an address and we will write to you when it returns. One email, about this, and nothing else.
