How to verify office 365 email address using API

How can I verify and make sure that the email address I input is correct/active before I send an email to it? Do we have any REST API that I can use? I am looking to verify email addresses with domains other than my own email address domain.

Thank you in advance.

    You cannot, there is no way for Office 365 (or any system) to validate external addresses. Only after sending a message and observing the server reply you can determine whether an external address is valid or no.
