Authentication

Use an API key from your sending account.

HTTP API

Include this header on email submission and status requests:

Authorization header
Authorization: Bearer API_KEY

Replace API_KEY with the full key from API keys, including its snd_key_ prefix.

SMTP credentials

Username
apikey — the literal word, in lowercase.
Password
Your full API key.

Authenticate using PLAIN or LOGIN after STARTTLS. Your account password is not an SMTP credential.

Key access and revocation

  • Any active key can retrieve email jobs belonging to its account.
  • Revoking a key blocks future API requests and SMTP submissions, including on an existing SMTP connection.
  • Revocation does not cancel emails already queued.
  • Keep keys in server-side configuration. Do not expose them in browser code or public repositories.

Use API keys for integrations. Manage your domains and keys in the console.
