TempMail API
Disposable Email At Scale
Create temporary inboxes, receive messages, and extract OTP codes via a clean REST API. Free with your API key. No credits deducted. Commercial use allowed.
API Endpoints
Everything for Disposable Email
Four clean REST endpoints — create, receive, read, and delete.
Create Inbox
Generate a random or custom disposable email address instantly via API.
Get Messages
Poll the inbox for incoming messages. Returns full metadata list.
Read Message
Read full HTML or plain-text body. Perfect for OTP/verification code extraction.
Delete Inbox
Clean up early. Deletion is free — no credits charged.
24h Lifetime
Inboxes stay alive for 24 hours then auto-expire and self-clean.
Secure Tokens
Each inbox has a private token — only the holder can read its messages.
# 1. Create a disposable inbox
curl -X POST /api/tempmail/accounts \
-H "X-API-Key: your_key"
# → {"email":"abc123@zphantom.com","token":"tok_xxx"}
# 2. Check for messages
curl /api/tempmail/messages \
-H "X-API-Key: your_key"
# → {"messages": [{"id":"msg_1","subject":"Your OTP","from":"..."}]}
