Ask HN: Help me choose a REST API to build
Hi HN! I've never built a pure REST API before and I'd like to build one as a side project. What simple API do you wish existed and why? Thanks in advance! :-)
There was a ShowHN (can't find it) about an API that pre-qualifies email addresses. I think it just checked if the email syntax is valid (see related discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16799976), if the domain really exists and if the domain is a known burner domain (I use this list https://github.com/wesbos/burner-email-providers/).
Personally I can't use such an external service (in Europe) because with GDPR regulation sending a third-party a list of email addresses without user consent is better avoided.
