BigDataCloud API Validation

This is a utility component which uses the BigDataCloud API to validate emails and phone numbers.

How it works:

See Create a Component if you need a refresher.

Go to BigDataCloud to sign up - https://www.bigdatacloud.com/ .

Go to Credentials and copy the API key.

The component uses the BIGDATA Library to connect and call two example client methods:

c:validatePhone to validate a phone number against the BigDataCloud API.
c:validateEmail to validate an email against the BigDataCloud API.

The returned validation results are stored in a table called “out“, serialized and queued for a downstream component to process as needed.

Modify the passed arguments to test it for yourself!

For reference here is a sample json response for an email validation from the BigDataCloud API:

{
  "inputData": "test@gmail.com",
  "isValid": true,
  "isSyntaxValid": true,
  "isMailServerDefined": true,
  "isKnownSpammerDomain": false,
  "isDisposable": false
}
