AWS SES Email Verification RequestId status - amazon-web-services

Question

Working on AWS SES Email Verification, after verifying an email i get back a RequestId from the response. Im trying to find a way to get an update form that RequestId i cant find a endpoint or method that can give me an update on this RequestId status.
{
ResponseMetadata: { RequestId: '1234567890' }
}
Here is the docs that im using for the Email Verification https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/verify-email-addresses-procedure.html

Answer 1

You can't track the status of email verification using the RequestId received from SES email verification response. Pasting a sample response from SES email verification.
{'ResponseMetadata': {'RetryAttempts': 0, 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'RequestId': 'abcd-xyz-123', 'HTTPHeaders': {'date': 'Wed, 26 May 2021 04:44:03 GMT', 'x-amzn-requestid': '98768888-1111-qwaq-2222', 'content-length': '248', 'content-type': 'text/xml', 'connection': 'keep-alive'}}}
To get the status of the email verification, you can try list_verified_email_addresses operation. It list out all the verified email addresses. Check whether your required email address is listing in VerifiedEmailAddresses. If it is not there then it is not yet verified.
import boto3
from botocore.config import Config
my_config = Config(region_name = 'us-west-2')
ses = boto3.client('ses', config=my_config)
response = ses.list_verified_email_addresses()
print(response)
Response:
{'ResponseMetadata': {'RetryAttempts': 0, 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'RequestId': 'xxxxx', 'HTTPHeaders': {'date': 'Wed, 26 May 2021 05:25:00 GMT', 'x-amzn-requestid': 'xxxxxx', 'content-length': '412', 'content-type': 'text/xml', 'connection': 'keep-alive'}}, u'VerifiedEmailAddresses': ['example#gmail.com']}
