This repository holds the backend for Reacher. The backend is a HTTP server with the following components:

• check-if-email-exists, which performs the core email verification logic,
• warp web framework.

There are 3 ways you can run this backend.

After clicking on the button, just follow the instructions on screen.

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

You can then send a POST request with the following body to http://localhost:8080/v0/check_email:

{
	"to_email": "[email protected]"
}

If you prefer to run the server locally on your machine, just clone the repository and run:

cargo run

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

These are the environment variables used to configure the HTTP server:
