Temporary Email OTP API: Receive Verification Emails with OtpGet
Not every service verifies by SMS. Many send a code or a link to an email address. For those, OtpGet offers an Email OTP API: you buy a temporary email address for a service, and the verification message is delivered back to you by API.
The email endpoint

The actions
- getBalance - your wallet balance
- getEmailServices - services you can register for with a temporary email
- getEmailDomains - the available email domains
- getPrice - the price for a service
- buyEmail - buy an address
- getEmailCode - read the code or message that arrived
- cancelEmail - cancel for a refund when nothing arrived
- reorderEmail - order the same address again for another message
- getEmailHistory - your past email orders
The flow
- Pick a service and a domain, then buy an address.
- Type that address into the target app.
- Call
getEmailCodeuntil the message arrives. - If nothing arrives, cancel and your balance is returned.
When email beats SMS
- Apps that offer email sign-up as the main option.
- Accounts you create in bulk where numbers would be expensive.
- Cases where a number was already used on a service.
Automation tip
Our servers also complete email orders in the background, independent of your browser, so a code can be captured even if your script disconnects. Always read the final result with getEmailCode or from your history.
