# Get the email verification rate

`GET /email-verification/rates`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.emailchaser.com/r`
- URL: `https://api.emailchaser.com/r/email-verification/rates`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Returns the current price of a verification, read from the billing plans the meter actually charges against. Read this rather than assuming a rate: an address costs one credit when the first provider rejects it outright and two when both providers answer, so per_address_ceiling_usd is the figure to budget against.

## Response `200`

The current rates

- ModelsEmailVerificationRatesResponse
  - `first_check_usd` number: What one first check costs.
  - `per_address_ceiling_usd` number: PerAddressCeilingUsd is the most an address can cost: both providers answering. This is the common case, so budget against this one.
  - `per_address_floor_usd` number: PerAddressFloorUsd is the least an address can cost: the first provider alone, which happens when it rejects the address outright.
  - `second_check_usd` number: What one second check costs.

## Other responses

- `401`: Unauthorized - invalid or missing API key
- `500`: Failed to read the rates
