Summary

Temp Mail API creates temporary email addresses and provides programmatic access to incoming messages. It can list and retrieve messages, download attachments, read message source, and delete emails or individual messages. API requests require an API key in the X-API-Key header, and API access requires an active premium account. The maker describes its temporary email service as free, but API access is a premium feature. Addresses can remain active for up to 30 days, after which associated emails are automatically deleted. Monthly API request limits depend on the subscription plan; the subscription page lists 1,000 requests per month. Supported client libraries include Golang, .NET, Node.js, PHP and Python. The service lists email testing and CI/CD integrations such as Playwright, GitHub Actions, Jenkins and GitLab CI. Its remote MCP server connects the API to AI coding clients and also requires premium access. The service says requests use HTTPS and temporary data is permanently deleted after its retention period, without backups. There is no free trial; the subscription page offers a refund within 30 days if a customer is dissatisfied.
