API user and authentication

Access to the API is granted as a specific user account under a Maxemail Customer Space. The API user account is similar to a standard user account, but does not have an email address and allows authentication credentials to be generated.

Contact our Support team to request API access for a Customer Space.

Security recommendation

Limit the permission roles to the minimum required. It is not possible to set an API user with any administrative roles.

Set IP restriction to limit access to only the servers running the API tasks.

Authentication

API credentials are sent as part of each API request, using the Authorization header. See the API communication specification for more details.

The API explorer in this guide allows API credentials to be used to test the available API methods and provide working examples to copy.
