What is Temp Email?

Create an address and receive your first email in 2 minutes.

API Reference

Full REST API for QA automation, CI pipelines, and developer tooling.

Playwright Guide

Automate email verification flows in end-to-end tests.

What it’s for

  • Receiving OTP codes, magic links, and verification emails
  • Signing up for trials and gated content without using your real address
  • Developer and QA testing of email-dependent signup flows
  • CI pipeline automation of email verification steps

What it’s NOT for

Do not use temporary email for accounts where long-term access matters: banking, healthcare, legal accounts, primary social media, or any service requiring email-based account recovery.
Temp Email is also receive-only — it accepts inbound SMTP mail but does not support sending outbound email.
