> A single email address with a confidence ranking.

Used in: [SkipTrace](/skip-trace), [SkipTraceResult](/skiptrace-result)

## Fields

| Field     | Type   | Description                          |
| --------- | ------ | ------------------------------------ |
| `email`   | string | Email address (may be uppercased)    |
| `ranking` | number | Confidence ranking — lower is better |

## Example

```json theme={null}
{ "email": "john.doe@example.com", "ranking": 1 }
```

## Notes

<Note>
  `email` may be returned in uppercase. Lowercase it before sending or comparing:

  ```js theme={null}
  const normalized = email.email.toLowerCase();
  // "JOHN.DOE@EXAMPLE.COM" → "john.doe@example.com"
  ```
</Note>

<Note>
  Lower `ranking` = higher confidence. Always try `ranking: 1` first. Higher-ranked emails are not guaranteed to be deliverable — validate before adding to a campaign.
