Migrating from DeBounce
You don't need to re-architect anything. Verification APIs across this category share the same shape: send an email, get back a status and a score.
Sign up & get an API key
Dashboard → API Keys. A sandbox key (rv_test_...) lets you wire up the integration before spending credits.
Map the response fields
Our status field (deliverable / undeliverable / risky / unknown) covers the same ground as DeBounce's result field — map your downstream branching logic 1:1.
Run a parallel batch first
Re-verify a sample you've already checked with DeBounce and diff the results before cutting over fully — don't trust either vendor's score blindly.
Swap the endpoint
Point your integration (Zapier, n8n, HubSpot, a direct API call) at RocketVerifier and decommission the old key once you're confident.
