    "log"
    "os"

    emailvalidator "github.com/r-goswami/email-validator"
)

func main() {
    apiKey :=  os.GetEnv("API_KEY")
    validator, err := emailvalidator.NewAbstractAPIClient(apiKey)
    if err != nil {
        log.Panic(err)
    }

    email := "[email protected]"
    resp, err := validator.Validate(email)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    if resp.IsValid() {
        fmt.Printf("\n%s is a valid email\n", email)
    }
}

hunter.io client

import (
    "fmt"

    emailvalidator "github.com/r-goswami/email-validator"
)

func main() {
    apiKey :=  os.GetEnv("API_KEY")
    validator, err := emailvalidator.NewHunterAPIClient(apiKey)
    if err != nil {
        log.Panic(err)
    }

    email := "[email protected]"
    resp, err := validator.Validate(email)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }

    if resp.IsValid() {
        fmt.Printf("\n%s is a valid email\n", email)
