GetNada FAQ — temporary email & disposable inboxes
Answers about GetNada temporary email, throwaway inboxes, accounts, and API access. For premium or business requests, use Contact— there is no checkout on this site.
What is GetNada disposable temporary email?
GetNada provides a throwaway email address and a browser inbox. Use temporary email for sign-ups, OTP verification, or free trials so marketing and spam never reach your personal mailbox. Each address has its own inbox URL on GetNada.
What is the difference between guest, member, and premium?
- Guest — use the site without signing in, or stay signed in but not yet email-verified. Only guest-tier domains and limits apply.
- Member — after you verify your email, member-tier domains unlock, and you can create API keys within your plan limits.
- Premium — broader access in the product data model; upgrades are arranged manually via Contact, not self-serve billing.
Why am I still treated like a guest after registering?
Until you complete email activation, the product keeps you on guest-equivalent domains and quotas. Open Account and enter the code from your email. API keys are only available after verification.
How does forgot / reset password interact with activation?
You can request a reset from Forgot password while you are still pending or already verified. Changing your password does not skip email verification — you remain guest-equivalent for API keys and member domains until you complete activation on Account. After a successful reset, other sessions may be signed out when they next load the app.
How do API keys work?
Verified members can create keys on the API & developers page. The full secret is shown once; the server stores only a hash and a short prefix. Revoked keys stop working immediately. See docs/PART_2_API_KEYS.md for details.
How do live updates work in the inbox?
When Redis is available, the inbox can use Server-Sent Events (SSE) for near-realtime delivery notices. If SSE is unavailable, the UI falls back to polling — both modes are normal; polling is slightly slower, not a broken install by itself.
Do you store attachments?
v1 records whether a message had attachments and how many — filenames and binary bodies are not exposed in the web UI.
Is my GetNada disposable inbox private?
GetNada temporary inboxes are readable by anyone with the link — they are designed for convenience, not secrecy. Do not use disposable email for banking, medical data, passwords, or other sensitive information.
What is a 10-minute email on GetNada?
Many users want a short-lived address for one verification step. GetNada inboxes run on a retention window set by the operator (often hours). Treat them as temporary email: open, read your message, then let the disposable address expire when you are done.
