Has anyone come across an email address validator using FME?
I want to use an API, ideally, to check email addresses for my contacts are valid.
Any assistance or workspaces would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, you could set up an HTTPCaller to make an API Request to an online email checker, the API's response typically is JSON-structured format. For testing I've used https://mailboxlayer.com/ (could required subscription).

You could use a StringSearcher in wich you can set a Regular Expression. There are a lot of regular expression examples to find on the internet. This is a simple one:
^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Z]{2,4}$

Hi, you can use a string searcher and use a regexp pattern as proposed here https://emailregex.com/
