### Validate Email
POST /v1/validate
Body: { "email": "user@example.com" }
Response: { "email": "...", "status": "valid|invalid|catchall|disposable", "provider": "..." }
Cost: 0.25 credits for valid results only

### Validate Batch
POST /v1/validate/batch
Body: { "emails": ["email1@...", "email2@..."] } (max 500)
Response: { "results": [...], "count": 500 }
Cost: 0.25 credits per valid result

### Find Email
POST /v1/find
Body: { "first_name": "John", "last_name": "Doe", "domain": "acme.com" }
Response: { "email": "...", "status": "valid|valid_catchall|catchall|not_found", "convention": "first.last", "confidence": 0.95 }
Cost: 1 credit per found result

### Find Batch
POST /v1/find/batch
Body: { "contacts": [{ "first_name": "...", "last_name": "...", "domain": "..." }] } (max 500)
Response: { "results": [...], "count": 500 }
Cost: 1 credit per found result

### Check Account
GET /v1/account
Response: { "credits": 4230, "credits_used": 770, "tier": "growth" }

## Key Rules

1. ALWAYS check credits before large batch operations. Warn the user if the operation will use more than 50% of their remaining credits.

2. Use validate (0.25 credits) before find (1 credit) when possible. If a user has a list with some emails and some missing, validate the existing ones first, then use find only for the missing ones.

3. ALWAYS batch when possible. Never call validate or find in a loop. Use the batch endpoints instead.

4. When reading CSV files, identify the relevant columns automatically:
   - Email columns: email, email_address, emailaddress
   - Name columns: first_name, firstname, first, last_name, lastname, last
   - Domain columns: domain, company_domain, website

## Understanding Results

### Validation Statuses
- valid: Email exists and accepts mail. Confirmed by the mail server.
- invalid: Email does not exist or is rejected.
- catchall: Domain accepts all emails. Can't confirm this specific person exists.
- valid_catchall: Catchall domain but high confidence this person exists based on convention matching.
- disposable: Temporary/throwaway email address.

### Find Statuses
- valid: Found and verified the email address. Confidence 1.0.
- valid_catchall: Best guess on a catchall domain. Check confidence score.
- catchall: Domain is catchall. Generated a likely email but can't verify.
- not_found: Could not determine the email address.

### Confidence Scores
- 1.0: Verified by mail server
- 0.7-0.99: High confidence, known convention at domain
- 0.3-0.69: Moderate confidence, catchall with convention match
- Below 0.3: Low confidence

## Workflow Patterns

### Validate a list of emails
1. Check credits
2. Read the CSV/list
3. Use /v1/validate/batch in chunks of 500
4. Summarize results
5. Write to file if requested

### Find emails for contacts
1. Check credits (1 credit per contact)
2. Read the CSV
3. Use /v1/find/batch in chunks of 500
4. Report found vs not_found

### Clean and enrich a mixed list
1. Separate contacts WITH emails from those WITHOUT
2. Validate the ones with emails using /v1/validate/batch
3. For invalid results, try /v1/find/batch if name+domain available
4. Find emails for contacts without them using /v1/find/batch
5. Combine results

## Credit Costs
- Validation: 0.25 credits per VALID result (invalid/catchall/unknown are free)
- Email finding: 1.0 credit per FOUND result (not_found is free)
- Account checks are always free
