⚙️ Reacher Backend

REST Server for Reacher Email Verification API: https://reacher.email.

This crate holds the backend for Reacher. The backend is both a HTTP server and a email verification worker. It has with the following components:

• check-if-email-exists, which performs the core email verification logic,
• warp web framework,
• RabbitMQ worker for consuming a queue of incoming verification requests.

Get Started

The Docker image is hosted on Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/reacherhq/backend.

To run it, run the following command:

docker run -p 8080:8080 reacherhq/backend:latest

Then send a POST http://localhost:8080/v0/check_email request with the following body:

{
    "to_email": "someone@gmail.com",
    "proxy": {                        // (optional) SOCK5 proxy to run the verification through, default is empty
        "host": "my-proxy.io",
        "port": 1080,
        "username": "me",             // (optional) Proxy username
        "password": "pass"            // (optional) Proxy password
    },
}

Configuration

The backend is configured via its backend_config.toml file.

Build From Source

You can build the backend from source to generate a binary, and run the server locally on your machine. First, install Rust; you'll need Rust 1.37.0 or later. Make sure openssl is installed too. Then, run the following commands:

# Download the code
$ git clone https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists
$ cd check-if-email-exists/backend

# Run the backend binary in release mode (slower build, but more performant).
$ cargo run --release --bin reacher_backend

The server will then be listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080.
