Authentication

The SMTP API uses JWT bearer tokens to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys via the auth API endpoints.

Your JWT bearer tokens carry many privileges, so be sure to keep them secure! Do not share your tokens via publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.

Authentication to the API is performed via HTTP Basic Auth. Provide your API key as the basic auth username value. You do not need to provide a password.

If you need to authenticate via bearer auth (e.g., for a cross-origin request), use -H "Authorization: Bearer RPqH8iq9xHd7ayjQc2Qkg4j>jv/HUdWH" instead of -u RPqH8iq9xHd7ayjQc2Qkg4j>jv/HUdWH.

All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls made over plain HTTP will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail.
