Developer API
Generate an API Key and start sending email programmatically with the WaxForward Email Routing API (Beta).
This API is currently in Beta. Breaking changes may occur as we improve the platform.
What you can do
- Send email using your domains and aliases via
POST /send-email. - Use your API Key to authenticate programmatically.
- Monitor usage and rotate keys from the API Keys panel.
How to create an API Key
1. Go to API Keys
From the sidebar menu, navigate to the API Keys section.
If you haven’t created any keys yet, you’ll see an empty state.
2. Click Create API Key
Click the Create API Key button at the top right.
Fill out the form:
- Name – Alphanumeric, up to 25 characters
- Domain – Select the domain this key will be tied to
3. Copy your API Key secret
Once created, your new key will be shown only once.
Click the copy button and store the value in a safe place.
Store it securely
For security reasons, the key is only visible once. If lost, you'll need to delete and regenerate it.
Quota and rate limits
- Each call to
POST /send-emailcounts as one send in your monthly quota. - The default rate limit is 2 requests per second.
If exceeded, the API will return a429 Too Many Requests.
You can track both quota and usage from your WaxForward dashboard.
