# Find Single Email

> Find a single professional email address from a full name and company domain or name

<Badge color="green">POST</Badge>

```
https://api.enrow.io/email/find/single
```

Run a single email search to find a professional email address. Authenticate every request with your [API key](/authentication) in the `x-api-key` header. For batch operations, use the [Find Bulk Emails](/api-reference/email-finder/find-bulk) endpoint (up to 5,000 searches per batch).

<Info>
  Enrow performs **determinist verifications** that verify even catch-all emails. This means passing the found emails through a debouncer afterwards isn't needed.
