If you need to verify multiple email addresses in a batch, you can use our Batch Email Verification API. Bouncer distributed infrastructure will make sure to get best possible results and retry any verification in case one is required. For example: 

[
  { "email": "jane@usebouncer.com"},
  { "email": "john@usebouncer.com"}
]
Please make sure to store batchId as it will be necessary to check status and get results for the request. Speed Default settings allow our customers to verify 100-200k email addresses per hour, however if your use case requires higher throughput, please let us know and we will be able to adjust your configuration. Rate Limiting The Batch Email Verification API is limited to creating up to 60 batches per minute and 200 requests to other related endpoints. Batch size recommendation Single batch can process up to 100,000 emails, while recommended size would be anything between 1000-10000 emails. This method is recommended when the quality of verification is of a value as it characterises the best precision of email validation and the lowest possible amount of “unknown” results. CSV format support Batch can also be created using txt file, with one email per file, and then results downloaded as csv file. Example file content 
deliverable@sandbox.usebouncer.com
deliverable+2@sandbox.usebouncer.com
deliverable+3@sandbox.usebouncer.com
undeliverable@sandbox.usebouncer.com
