The email that receives withdrawal and risk notices can go dark without announcing itself, and the scheduled check is what catches it. HTX Email Checker is the ZelNum page that supports this job: HTX Email Checker.
Quick answer
Submit the email list through the API, receive the registration and domain-risk status per record, and store it with the checked timestamp. Re-run on a schedule and watch the risky-domain share. The output is a notification-readiness trend.
The API workflow
- Submit the job. One request per batch, carrying the record set.
- Poll or receive callbacks. Polling is fine at low volume; webhooks pay off when you act on results immediately.
- Store per record. Keep the status and checked timestamp with the record ID.
- Compare runs. The movement between runs is the real output of the pipeline.
Keep the first call small. Submit a handful of records, confirm the response shape, then scale.
The readiness read
Here is what a quarterly run looks like over three checks:
| Run | Registered + clean | Risky domain | Unknown | Invalid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 74% | 13% | 9% | 4% |
| April | 72% | 15% | 9% | 4% |
| July | 70% | 17% | 9% | 4% |
(These figures are illustrative, not a product performance claim.)
The risky-domain share is creeping up. Each point is an inbox that may be blocking the notices the account depends on. The trend is what the API exists to produce.
Webhooks or polling?
Polling on a short interval is simpler for most teams. If you use webhooks, make the callback idempotent: processing the same event twice must not double-charge or double-write.
Export fields that matter
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
record_id |
Joins the result back to the source. |
registration_status |
Registered / risky / unknown / invalid. |
domain_risk |
The typo and throwaway flag. |
checked_at |
The timestamp that makes the trend possible. |
Mistakes to avoid
- Automating the check but not the repair queue. A risky-domain trend without a repair queue is decoration.
- Treating the last run as the current truth. A checked email from January is a guess by July.
- Ignoring the domain-risk signal. It is the leading indicator of silent notification gaps.
FAQ
What is the output of the HTX email API pipeline?
Notification-readiness: how many accounts have a working notification inbox, and how that number moves. The trend is the deliverable.
Why does domain risk matter?
Because typo and throwaway domains pass format checks and block delivery. They are the silent notification gaps.
How often should the API run?
Monthly for active lists, quarterly for deep reviews, and before any security review.
Webhooks or polling?
Polling for most teams. It is simpler, has fewer failure modes, and latency is irrelevant at low volume.
What happens to unknown rows?
They wait for a retry. Unknown is not dead, and a later run often resolves it.
