Create inboxes, read messages, extract verification codes, and automate email QA workflows from tests and scripts.

View API docs

Email-dependent features are hard to test manually at scale. TempMailito gives developers API-driven inboxes for signup tests, passwordless login, invite flows, verification codes, and staging email checks.

Common API workflows

  • Create a disposable inbox before a test starts.
  • Submit the inbox address to a signup or invite form.
  • Poll for the expected message or wait for a webhook.
  • Extract a code, OTP, or magic link from the email body.
  • Finish the browser test and archive the evidence.

Best fit scenarios

  • Staging registration and onboarding tests.
  • Magic link and passwordless authentication checks.
  • QA test accounts for releases.
  • Transactional email copy and delivery validation.
  • Webhook-based message arrival tests.

Developer checklist

  1. Use one inbox per scenario to keep results isolated.
  2. Assert sender, subject, and key body text.
  3. Validate links point to the intended environment.
  4. Keep API keys out of logs and client-side code.
  5. Use rate limits and cleanup logic in CI jobs.

FAQ

Temporary email API questions

What can a temporary email API automate?

It can create temporary inboxes, trigger signup or login flows, poll for messages, extract verification codes, and validate email copy in automated tests.

Is this useful for CI tests?

Yes. QA and engineering teams can use disposable inboxes in staging pipelines to verify email-dependent flows without permanent test accounts.

Can the API be combined with webhooks?

Yes. API keys and webhook notifications can reduce polling and help test suites react when a new message arrives.
