Using XML and cfhttp ???

[coder1957**]

Refer:  https://verify-email.org/home/api

I want to use their API to get a result back to see if an email address is valid.

So based on their documentation, I guess I do (something like) the following?

<cffunction name="email_verify"  access="remote" returntype="string">

            <cfargument name="email" type="string" required="true">

            <cfoutput><cfhttp url="https://app.verify-email.org/api/v1/my key/verify/#arguments.email#"        result="variables.resultxml" /></cfoutput>

<cfset variables.parsed_result = xmlParse(variables.resultxml.fileContent)> 

<cfreturn variables.parsed_result>

</cffunction>

The above syntax is obviously wrong as I am getting a console error An error occurred while parsing an XML document.

What am I doing wrong?

(I tried without the <cfoutput> with same result.  Not sure if I need them in there?

I have to say I disagree with each of your conclusions in reply to my last comment, BKBK. But I will leave it at that and for others to judge who  may read the thread and for time to tell, rather than drag things out.

The good news is that the OP's problem is solved, and we each helped him in our own ways, with each being valuable from different perspectives. That said, it will be a challenge for him to identify any one reply as the "answer", as there were indeed multiple issues identified through multiple answers.
