Verification code

Rust 1.78

async fn verify_email(email: &str) -> Result<bool, reqwest::Error> {
    let client = reqwest::Client::new();
    let report: serde_json::Value = client
        .post("https://verishield-edge-api.p.rapidapi.com/v1/verify")
        .header("X-RapidAPI-Key", std::env::var("RAPIDAPI_KEY").unwrap_or_default())
        .json(&serde_json::json!({ "email": email }))
        .send().await?
        .json().await?;
    Ok(report["fraud_risk"]["recommendation"] != "BLOCK")
}

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.
