The Data Validation & Verification API Platform
The last data validation API you'll ever need (or evaluate).Email validation, IP intelligence, phone verification, reputation checks today. Address validation, fraud signals, and more tomorrow. One fast, reliable API for all of it. When your next need shows up, it's a new endpoint, not a new vendor.
Monitor usage and performance at a glance.
All your APIs in one place.
Share access with your whole team.
You didn't set out to manage seven validation services. It just happened.
It always starts the same way. You need email validation for your signup flow. You find a vendor, integrate their API, ship it. Done.
Then product asks for IP geolocation. Different vendor. Different API format. Different auth. A month later, security wants IP reputation checks. Then marketing needs phone verification for a campaign. Then someone flags that you need disposable email detection.
Now look at what you're actually maintaining: five SDKs, five auth systems, five response formats your code has to normalize, five dashboards, five invoices, five vendor security reviews. When something goes wrong at 2am, you're checking five status pages trying to figure out which service changed their response format without telling you.
None of this was planned. It accumulated. And every time a new validation need appears, the cycle repeats: evaluate vendors, compare pricing, read docs, write the integration, add another dashboard to your rotation.
Hummingbird breaks the cycle. One API that covers all of it, so the next time a new need shows up, it's a new endpoint on an API you already know. Not another vendor evaluation. Not another SDK. Not another 2am mystery.

👋 Hey there!
I'm Thomas, and I've built applications that handled billions of requests per month and integrated more external APIs than I'd like to admit. I know what it's like to hold the red phone and get the 2am text that something is down, then spend hours hunting across 3rd party integrations trying to figure out which one broke.
I've watched slow APIs tank checkout conversion rates, cause leads to abandon important signup forms, spike bounce rates on sites I operated, and cost me real money in lost sales. I've been through the nightmare cycle of vendor security assessments. I've lived the pain that Hummingbird is built to solve.
That's why speed and reliability aren't features here. They're the foundation. Every architectural decision I make starts with one question: will this help my customers sleep better at night?
To replacing sleepless nights with peace of mind,

Founder, Hummingbird
Built together, not bolted together.
Some companies bolt together a dozen third-party APIs and call it a platform. We built everything from the ground up to work together.
One integration
One authentication system. One API key. One response format. Learn it once, use it everywhere. No more fighting with normalizing data structures, juggling SDKs, or integrating new services.
One dashboard
Your whole team shares one view of usage, logs, and analytics. Engineering, finance, and security all see the same picture. No more reconciling reports from five different portals.
One relationship
One vendor to vet. One invoice to process. One status page to watch. One support team that actually knows your full setup, not a different vendor for every question.
This is what "platform" should mean.
One API that grows with you.
Powerful APIs for today and tomorrow, all accessible through one unified experience.
IP Intelligence & Geolocation
Get accurate location data including country, region, city, timezone, and coordinates for localization, compliance, and fraud detection.
IP Reputation
Identify risky IP addresses with threat scores, abuse history, and risk signals. Block bad actors before they cause damage.
Email Validation
Verify email addresses with syntax checks, deliverability testing, and mailbox verification to reduce bounces and protect your sender reputation.
Disposable Email Detection
Identify temporary and throwaway email addresses. Keep your user base clean and prevent abuse from fake signups.
Phone Number Validation
Validate phone numbers with format checking, carrier lookup, and line type detection. Know if it's mobile, landline, or VoIP.
SSL Certificate Validation
Monitor SSL certificates for expiry, verify certificate chains, and run security checks. Never let an expired cert take down your site.
Consistent, reliable performance. Every request. Every geography.

- Personal information
Your data, not ours.
We validate and return. That's it. Your users' data is processed in memory and never stored. No request payloads logged. No user profiles built. No data sold or monetized. Ever.
We're building for the long term.
Obsessed with helping you get better results, faster, for less. Every feature, every optimization, every decision is made with the long game in mind.
