Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about GMCheck email verification service
What is GMCheck?
GMCheck is an email verification service that helps you verify Gmail addresses. It checks if email addresses are valid, active, disabled, or non-existent. This is useful for cleaning email lists, validating user registrations, and maintaining high-quality contact databases.
How does email verification work?
GMCheck uses advanced verification techniques to check email addresses. When you submit a list of emails, our system processes them and returns the status of each email: LIVE (valid and active), VERIFY (requires verification), DISABLE (disabled), NOT_EXIST (doesn't exist), or UNKNOWN (status unclear).
What email formats are supported?
Currently, GMCheck specializes in verifying Gmail addresses (@gmail.com). The service extracts Gmail addresses from your input text and verifies them. You can paste emails in any format - one per line, separated by commas, or mixed with other text.
What are the differences between Standard and Premium plans?
Standard allows up to 5,000 lines per check and 100,000 emails per month. Premium allows up to 200,000 lines per check with unlimited monthly emails, API Key access, faster processing, and priority support.
How do I check my email usage?
After logging in, you can see your usage statistics in the header (remaining emails count) or by visiting the usage page. The usage shows how many emails you've checked this month and how many remain in your monthly limit.
What happens if I exceed my monthly limit?
If you exceed your monthly limit, you'll receive a notification when trying to submit a new check. You can either wait until the next month for your limit to reset, or upgrade to Premium plan for unlimited monthly emails.
How long does it take to verify emails?
Verification time depends on the number of emails and current system load. Small batches (under 100 emails) typically complete in a few seconds to a minute. Larger batches may take several minutes. Premium users get priority processing for faster results.
Can I stop a verification job in progress?
Yes! You can stop any job that's currently processing by clicking the 'Stop' button. The system will return the results for emails that have already been verified up to that point.
Where can I view my verification history?
You can view all your past verification jobs in the History page, accessible from the header menu. The history shows job status, email counts, completion statistics, and allows you to view detailed results for each job.
What is an API Key and how do I use it?
API Key is a feature available for Premium users that allows you to access the email verification API without logging in. You can generate an API key from your profile menu, then use it in API requests with the X-API-Key header. API endpoints use the /api/v1/ prefix and don't require encryption. See the API documentation for details.
How do I generate an API Key?
Premium users can generate an API key by: 1) Logging into your account, 2) Clicking on your profile menu, 3) Selecting 'API Key', 4) Clicking 'Generate API Key'. Important: Save your API key immediately as you won't be able to see it again after generation.
Can I use the API without an API Key?
Yes, you can use the regular API endpoints with JWT authentication (login token). However, API Key provides a more convenient way to authenticate without managing tokens. API Key endpoints (/api/v1/*) don't require encryption, making them easier to integrate.
What do the different email statuses mean?
LIVE: Email is valid and active. VERIFY: Email requires verification (user needs to verify their account). DISABLE: Email account is disabled. NOT_EXIST: Email address doesn't exist. UNKNOWN: Status couldn't be determined. PENDING: Email is still being processed.
Can I export my verification results?
Yes! After verification completes, you can export results in several ways: Copy all results to clipboard, copy results by status (e.g., only LIVE emails), export all results to a text file, or export results filtered by status. Results are formatted as 'email|status' for easy processing.
Is my data secure?
Yes, GMCheck takes data security seriously. All communications are encrypted, and we don't store your email lists permanently. Verification results are stored temporarily and can be accessed through your job history. We follow industry best practices for data protection.
What happens to my data after verification?
Your raw input and verification results are stored temporarily for you to access through the job history. Jobs are automatically cleaned up after a certain period. We don't share your data with third parties or use it for any purpose other than providing the verification service.
Can I verify the same email multiple times?
Yes, you can verify the same email address multiple times. Email statuses can change over time (e.g., an account might be disabled later), so re-verification can be useful for maintaining up-to-date email lists.
What if a verification job fails?
If a job fails, you'll see an error message with details. You can try submitting the job again. If the problem persists, check your internet connection, verify you haven't exceeded your limits, and contact support if needed.
How do I upgrade to Premium?
To upgrade to Premium, visit the Pricing page from the header menu. Click on the Premium plan and follow the instructions to complete your upgrade. Premium plans offer unlimited monthly emails, higher line limits, API Key access, and priority support.
Can I cancel or change my plan?
For plan changes or cancellations, please contact our support team through the Contact page or Telegram. They can assist you with plan modifications, cancellations, or answer any billing questions.
Do I need to create an account?
Yes, you need to create a free account to use GMCheck. Registration is quick and easy - just provide your name, email, and create a password. Once registered, you can start verifying emails immediately with the Standard plan.
What browsers are supported?
GMCheck works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For the best experience, we recommend using the latest version of your browser. The service uses encryption features that require modern browser support.
Can I use GMCheck on mobile devices?
Yes, GMCheck is responsive and works on mobile devices. However, for the best experience with large email lists and detailed results, we recommend using a desktop or tablet device.
How accurate are the verification results?
GMCheck uses advanced verification techniques to provide accurate results. However, email verification is not 100% perfect - some email providers may block verification attempts, and email statuses can change. We continuously improve our verification methods for better accuracy.
What is the maximum number of emails I can check at once?
Standard users can check up to 5,000 lines per submission. Premium users can check up to 200,000 lines per submission. Monthly email limits apply to Standard users.
How do I contact support?
You can contact our support team through the Contact page, accessible from the header menu. We're available via Telegram at @gmchecklive. Premium users receive priority support with faster response times.
Are there any API rate limits?
API requests are subject to rate limits to ensure fair usage. Premium users have higher rate limits. If you encounter rate limiting, you'll receive an appropriate error message. For high-volume usage, please contact support to discuss custom solutions.
Can I integrate GMCheck into my application?
Yes! Premium users can use the API Key feature to integrate GMCheck into their applications. The API supports checking emails, retrieving job status, getting job history, and accessing usage statistics. See the API documentation for complete integration details.
What happens if I lose my API Key?
If you lose your API Key, you can regenerate a new one from the API Key management page. The old key will be revoked and stop working. You cannot recover a lost API key - you must generate a new one.
Is there a limit on how many API requests I can make?
API requests are subject to rate limits and your monthly email limit (for Standard users). Premium users have unlimited monthly emails and higher rate limits. Each email verification counts toward your monthly limit.
How many jobs can I run at the same time?
You can run a limited number of jobs at the same time. If the active job limit is reached, you will be asked to wait for current jobs to finish before submitting another one.
