Kickbox determines if an email address is not only valid, but associated with a actual user. Uses include:

- Preventing users from creating accounts on your applications using fake, misspelled, or throw-away email addresses.
- Reducing bounces by removing old, invalid, and low quality email addresses from your mailing lists.
- Saving money and projecting your reputation by only sending to real email users.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

To begin, hop over to [app.kickbox.com](https://app.kickbox.com) and create a free account. Once you've signed up and logged in, click on **API Settings** and then click **Add API Key**. Copy the generated API Key. You'll need it to setup the client as explained below.

You will need PHP 7.4 or higher, some PHP extensions (most notably curl, dom, mbstring if working with the unit tests) and composer.

Support for PHP 7.4 is provided on a legacy branch. See

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Make sure you have [composer](https://getcomposer.org) installed.

```
{
    "require": {
        "kickbox/kickbox": "*"
    }
}
```

Update your dependencies

```
$ php composer.phar update
```

> This package follows the `PSR-0` convention names for its classes, which means you can easily integrate these classes loading in your own autoloader.
