Validate every address on a list
Start a background run over every contact on the list and answer immediately with the run. Poll GET /api/v1/validation-runs/{id} for progress and read the verdicts from its /results page.
This VALIDATES and changes nothing: no membership is unsubscribed, no contact is deleted. What to do about an undeliverable address is your decision, and a run that acted on its own findings would be acting on a DNS lookup that can also answer unknown.
A second run while one is already in flight for the same list is refused with 409 rather than queued: two runs would bill the same addresses twice.
Requires the validation:write scope — Check whether email addresses can receive mail — this is billed per address.
API key authentication. Use a sk_* (FULL) or pk_* (SENDING_ONLY) key as the bearer token. Public keys (pk_*) are restricted to the email-send endpoints and the self-serve list subscribe/unsubscribe pair; every other endpoint — event tracking included — answers 403 for them. In scope terms (used by /api/v1/* operations): FULL keys hold every scope; SENDING_ONLY keys hold only emails:send.
