You may notice some changes we’ve made to the site. We’ve upgraded the aesthetics a bit and made a few things more simple. For one, we’ve made the search much less complicated. Enter an email address and press Lookup, that’s it.
All changes were made with you in mind. Check it out, we hope you find it to your liking. Please leave comments or email us to say what you like, don’t like, anything…we want to hear it all!

Rapleaf Partners have benefitted from our powerful and easy-to-integrate RESTful API for months. And now we are excited to announce expanded support to make integration even easier.
Integration with Rapleaf can now be achieved not just with direct API calls, but also with our new Native API Kits. These are software packages developed with great care to make it exceedingly natural to incorporate Rapleaf into your software.
Ruby, PHP, Perl, and Java Kits are available now, and more will be added soon. (Please email us if you’d like to request support for your programming language of choice.)
The Native API Kits are hosted publicly with Subversion and Trac… so feel free to get in there and create tickets for any bugs or ideas you come across.
The more mash-ups the merrier!
Pluba, the world’s largest classified site for buying and selling animals, has partnered with Rapleaf and is fully integrated.
If you want an parrot, a ferret, a pit bull, or a cool fish, Pluba is the place for you. Thousands of sellers list millions of great pets to buy. And these sellers aren’t just merchants, they are animals lovers themselves and they care deeply about making your pet experience a good one.
And every time you view a listing on Pluba, you’ll see the Rapleaf score of the seller. As Pluba grows, we hope Rapleaf helps it maintain a trusted and safe environment. With Pluba on Rapleaf, it is more profitable to be ethical.
Pluba is fully integrated with Rapleaf. Scores appear on all the listings and you can easily rate sellers too. Also — we want to specifically thank Victor Hanna there — he is a real forward-thinking leader and someone we really enjoyed working with.
You may have noticed, when using Rapleaf, you can now see someone’s domain verity. When you search for domain, we now tell you how hard it is to get an email at that domain. 
We also show you how easily an email may be traced back to the individual. For instance, a “ge.com” email address is really hard to get. You basically have to work at GE to get it and the email is usually revoked immediately upon leaving the company. A “comcast.com” is easier to get because anyone that has Comcast as their ISP can get one. But a “hotmail.com” email is even easier to get and you can sign up for a thousand hotmail addresses tomorrow with the right hack.
We categorized over almost a hundred thousand domain names and our goal is to hit over a million. So try searching for an email addresses in Rapleaf and see what type of domain related information you get.
