API for creating temporary email accounts

Strengths

Check a domain's SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records and get what to fix, with the values to publish.

Free JSON API that checks a domain's SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records and returns what to fix, with the values to publish. No key, CORS enabled.

Strengths

Prototyping or a tutorial? Pick the one that needs no API key (both qualify).
Calling from a web page? You need CORS. Otherwise route requests through your own server or a serverless function.
Going to production? Favour HTTPS, a strong uptime record and a provider with clear rate limits and terms. Check each API's docs before you commit.
Still unsure? Both are free to try: send one request to each and compare the data you get back.

Neither needs an API key; you can call both straight away.
