How to call it

Send one POST to api.upapi.io/email-read-verification-link-graph.post with your key in the X-Api-Key header and the parameters below as a JSON body. Each call spends 1 weighted unit of your monthly quota. The operation times out after 310 seconds. Responses are not cached; every call runs the operation.

stringrequired — Substring to match in the From header (e.g. 'discord', 'reddit')
timeoutSeconds
number — Max seconds to poll
followRedirects
boolean — Follow click-tracker redirects to resolve the actionable URL
minEpochSeconds
number — Ignore messages received before this Unix timestamp
linkHostContains
string — Keep only candidate URLs whose text contains this (e.g. 'discord.com')
redirectProxyUrl
string — Proxy to follow the tracker through (the account's pinned exit)
graphRefreshToken
