Verification code

TypeScript

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
  const { email } = await readBody(event);
  const report = await $fetch('https://verishield-edge-api.p.rapidapi.com/v1/verify', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'X-RapidAPI-Key': process.env.RAPIDAPI_KEY },
    body: { email }
  });
  if (report.fraud_risk.recommendation === 'BLOCK') {
    throw createError({ statusCode: 403, statusMessage: 'Blocked disposable email' });
  }
  return { canonicalEmail: report.canonical_email };
});

What this protects against

Disposable and temporary inboxes, Gmail dot-trick and plus-alias multi-accounting, high-entropy bot usernames, and freshly registered fraud domains. The API returns a 0-100 fraud score with an ALLOW, CHALLENGE_2FA or BLOCK recommendation.
