⚙️ Reacher Backend
Backend Server for Reacher Email Verification API: https://reacher.email.
# ⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE ⚠️⚠️
This repo has been moved to the monorepo [reacherhq/check-if-email-exists](https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists), in the `backend` subfolder.
## Reacher Backend
This repository holds the backend for [Reacher](https://reacher.email). The backend is a HTTP server with the following components:
- [`check-if-email-exists`](https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists), which performs the core email verification logic,
- [`warp`](https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp) web framework.
## Get Started
There are 2 ways you can run this backend.
### 1. Use Docker
The [Docker image](./Dockerfile) is hosted on Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/reacherhq/backend.
To run it, run the following command:
```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 reacherhq/backend
```
You can then send a POST request with the following body to `http://localhost:8080/v0/check_email`:
```js
{
"to_email": "[email protected]",
"from_email": "[email protected]", // (optional) email to use in the `FROM` SMTP command, defaults to "[email protected]"
"hello_name": "my-server.com", // (optional) name to use in the `EHLO` SMTP command, defaults to "localhost"
"proxy": { // (optional) SOCK5 proxy to run the verification through, default is empty
"host": "my-proxy.io",
"port": 1080
},
"smtp_port": 587 // (optional) SMTP port to do the email verification, defaults to 25
}
```
### 2. Run locally
If you prefer to run the server locally on your machine, just clone the repository and run:
```bash
cargo run
```
The server will then be listening on `http://127.0.0.1:8080`.
### Configuration
These are the environment variables used to configure the HTTP server:
| Env Var | Required? | Description | Default |
| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
| `RCH_ENABLE_BULK` | No | If set to 1, then bulk verification endpoints will be added to the backend. | 0 |
| `DATABASE_URL` | Yes if `RCH_ENABLE_BULK==1` | Database connection string for storing results and task queue | not defined |
| `RCH_HTTP_HOST` | No | The host name to bind the HTTP server to. | `127.0.0.1` |
| `PORT` | No | The port to bind the HTTP server to, often populated by the cloud provider. | `8080` |
| `RCH_FROM_EMAIL` | No | The email to use in the `MAIL FROM:` SMTP command. | `[email protected]` |
| `RCH_SENTRY_DSN` | No | If set, bug reports will be sent to this [Sentry](https://sentry.io) DSN. | not defined |
| `RCH_DATABASE_MAX_CONNECTIONS` | No | Connections created for the database pool | 5 |
| `RCH_MINIMUM_TASK_CONCURRENCY` | No | Minimum number of concurrent running tasks below which more tasks are fetched | 10 |
| `RCH_MAXIMUM_CONCURRENT_TASK_FETCH` | No | Maximum number of tasks fetched at once | 20 |
| `RUST_LOG` | No | One of `trace,debug,warn,error,info`. 💡 PRO TIP: `RUST_LOG=debug` is very handful for debugging purposes. | not defined |
## REST API Documentation
Read docs on https://help.reacher.email/rest-api-documentation.
The API basically only exposes one endpoint: `POST /v0/check_email` expecting the following body:
```js
{
"to_email": "[email protected]",
"from_email": "[email protected]", // (optional) email to use in the `FROM` SMTP command, defaults to "[email protected]"
"hello_name": "my-server.com", // (optional) name to use in the `EHLO` SMTP command, defaults to "localhost"
"proxy": { // (optional) SOCK5 proxy to run the verification through, default is empty
"host": "my-proxy.io",
"port": 1080
},
"smtp_port": 587 // (optional) SMTP port to do the email verification, defaults to 25
}
```
