Get Started

At the core of our platform is our developer-friendly API.

1. Create a Mailing List

Request

curl -X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' https://mailinglists.dev/list/create

Response HTTP 200

{
    "id": "LIST_ID"
}

Take note of the generated LIST_ID as you will use it in the next step.

2. Craft a Signup Form on Your Website

Build a signup form with two fields: list and email.

Simplified form example

<form method="post" action="https://mailinglists.dev/subscribe">
  <input type="hidden" name="list" value="LIST_ID">
  <input type="email" name="email">
</form>

Request sample

curl -d '{ "list": "LIST_ID", "email": "emma@example.com" }' https://mailinglists.dev/subscribe

The <form> you build must POST the above JSON data. Use e.g. JavaScript Fetch API.

This gets you started, but don’t worry a comprehensive guide is coming online.

3. Fetch Subscribers

At any time retrieve your signups (subscribers) using LIST_ID.

Request

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' https://mailinglists.dev/list/LIST_ID

Response HTTP 200

{
	"members": [
		{
			"email": "emma@example.com",
			"url": "https://mailinglists.dev/u/aaa/bbb"
		},
		{
			"email": "mary@example.com",
			"url": "https://mailinglists.dev/u/ccc/ddd"
		},
		...
	]
}

There you have your subscribers in a handy list. Use the list alongside your favorite email service, e.g. Amazon SES.

MailingLists.dev is under development

The functionality exists, but there is no public API yet.

Should I build the API?

Would you use it?
