INSTALLATION

Before installing the wrapper, you have to make sure that CMake is installed on your system. It can be downloaded from here.

You can install by using CMake with FetchContent. Add the following to your CMakeLists.txt:

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
    ZeroBounce
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/zerobounce/zerobounce-cpp-api-wrapper.git
    GIT_TAG <DESIRED_TAG>
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(ZeroBounce)

This will produce the target ZeroBounce which you can link against the typical way:

target_link_libraries(your_target_name PRIVATE ZeroBounce)

If using Visual Studio Code, you can build the library using CMake and Cmake Tools extensions. After the extensions have been installed, you simply open the commands with CTRL + SHIFT + P and use CMake: Configure followed by CMake: Build.

Alternatively, you can also use the CLI commands in the root directory of your project.

LINUX
mkdir build
cmake -S . -B build -G "Unix Makefiles"
cmake --build build
WINDOWS

You have to make sure that MinGW is installed on your system. It can be installed following the steps here.

mkdir build
cmake -S . -B build -G "MinGW Makefiles"
cmake --build build

Be aware that the library may require some .dll files (found in the build directory) in order to work properly in your project.

USAGE

Include the library in your file:

###include <ZeroBounce/ZeroBounce.h>

Initialize the wrapper with your api key and preferred api:

ZeroBounce::getInstance()->initialize("<YOUR_API_KEY>", ZBApiURL::Default);

Examples

Then you can use any of the wrapper methods, for example:

  • ####### Check how many credits you have left on your account
ZeroBounce::getInstance()->getCredits(
    [](ZBCreditsResponse response) {
        cout << response.toString() << endl;
    },
    [](ZBErrorResponse errorResponse) {
        cout << errorResponse.toString() << endl;
    }
);
  • ####### Check your API usage for a given period of time
std::tm startDate = {0};
startDate.tm_year = 118;
startDate.tm_mon = 0;
startDate.tm_mday = 1;

std::tm endDate = {0};
endDate.tm_year = 123;
endDate.tm_mon = 11;
endDate.tm_mday = 12;

ZeroBounce::getInstance()->getApiUsage(
    startDate,
    endDate,
    [](ZBGetApiUsageResponse response) {
        cout << response.toString() << endl;
    },
    [](ZBErrorResponse errorResponse) {
        cout << errorResponse.toString() << endl;
    }
);
  • ####### Validate an email address
std::string email = "valid@example.com";   // The email address you want to validate
std::string ipAddress = "127.0.0.1";     // The IP Address the email signed up from (Optional)

ZeroBounce::getInstance()->validate(
    email,
    ipAddress,
    [](ZBValidateResponse response) {
        cout << response.toString() << endl;
    },
    [](ZBErrorResponse errorResponse) {
        cout << errorResponse.toString() << endl;
    }
);
  • ####### Validate email batch
std::vector<ZBEmailToValidate> emails = {
    {"valid@example.com", "1.1.1.1"},
    {"invalid@example.com"}
};

ZeroBounce::getInstance()->validateBatch(
    emails,
    [](ZBValidateBatchResponse response) {
        cout << response.toString() << endl;
    },
    [](ZBErrorResponse errorResponse) {
        cout << errorResponse.toString() << endl;
    }
);
  • ####### Use the Activity API endpoint to gather insights into your subscribers'overall email engagement
std::string email = "valid@example.com";    // Subscriber email address

ZeroBounce::getInstance()->getActivityData(
    email,
    [](ZBActivityDataResponse response) {
        cout << response.toString() << endl;
    },
    [](ZBErrorResponse errorResponse) {
        cout << errorResponse.toString() << endl;
    }
);
  • ####### The sendfile API allows user to send a file for bulk email validation
std::string filePath = "<FILE_PATH>"; 	// The path of the csv or txt file
int emailAddressColumn = 3; 			// The index of "email" column in the file. Index starts at 1
SendFileOptions options;			// Additional options

options.returnUrl = "https://domain.com/called/after/processing/request";
options.firstNameColumn = 4;		// The index of "first name" column in the file
options.lastNameColumn = 5;		// The index of "last name" column in the file
options.genderColumn = 6;		// The index of "gender" column in the file
options.ipAddressColumn = 7;		// The index of "IP address" column in the file
options.hasHeaderRow = true;		// If this is `true` the first row is considered as table headers
options.removeDuplicate = true;	// If this is `true` the duplicate emails will be removed

ZeroBounce::getInstance()->sendFile(
    filePath,
    emailAddressColumn,
    options,
    [](ZBSendFileResponse response) {
        cout << response.toString() << endl;
    },
    [](ZBErrorResponse errorResponse) {
        cout << errorResponse.toString() << endl;
    }
);
  • ####### The getfile API allows users to get the validation results file for the file been submitted using sendfile API
std::string fileId = "<FILE_ID>";				// The returned file ID when calling sendfile API
std::string localDownloadPath = "<FILE_DOWNLOAD_PATH>"; 	// The location where the downloaded file will be saved

ZeroBounce::getInstance()->getFile(
    fileId,
    localDownloadPath,
    [](ZBGetFileResponse response) {

It is recommended that the development should be done on Linux.

After checking out the repo, build the library then run tests.

./build/bin/ZeroBounceTests

You should see an output like this

[==========] 26 tests from 1 test suite ran. (7 ms total)
[  PASSED  ] 26 tests.
