Verification code

Python 3.12

import os, requests
from django.core.exceptions import ValidationError

def verify_email(value):
    resp = requests.post(
        'https://verishield-edge-api.p.rapidapi.com/v1/verify',
        headers={'X-RapidAPI-Key': os.environ.get('RAPIDAPI_KEY', '')},
        json={'email': value}, timeout=3
    )
    data = resp.json()
    if data['fraud_risk']['recommendation'] == 'BLOCK':
        raise ValidationError('Disposable or high-risk email addresses are not allowed.')
    return data['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.
