# SendX REST API Documentation ## 🚀 Introduction The SendX API is organized around REST principles. Our API has predictable resource-oriented URLs, accepts JSON-encoded request bodies, returns JSON-encoded responses, and uses standard HTTP response codes, authentication, and verbs. **Key Features:** - 🔒 **Security**: Team-based authentication with optional member-level access - 🎯 **Resource-Oriented**: RESTful design with clear resource boundaries - 📊 **Rich Data Models**: Three-layer model system (Input/Output/Internal) - 🔗 **Relationships**: Automatic prefix handling for resource relationships - 📈 **Scalable**: Built for high-volume email marketing operations ## 🏗️ Architecture Overview SendX uses a three-layer model architecture: 1. **Input Models** (`RestE*`): For API requests 2. **Output Models** (`RestR*`): For API responses with prefixed IDs 3. **Internal Models**: Core business logic (not exposed in API) ## 🔐 Security & Authentication SendX uses API key authentication: ### Team API Key ```http X-Team-ApiKey: YOUR_TEAM_API_KEY ``` - **Required for all requests** - Team-level access to resources - Available in SendX Settings → Team API Key ## 🆔 Encrypted ID System SendX uses encrypted IDs for security and better developer experience: - **Internal IDs**: Sequential integers (not exposed) - **Encrypted IDs**: 22-character alphanumeric strings - **Prefixed IDs**: Resource-type prefixes in API responses (`contact_`) ### ID Format **All resource IDs follow this pattern:** ``` _ ``` **Example:** ```json { "id": "contact_BnKjkbBBS500CoBCP0oChQ", "lists": ["list_OcuxJHdiAvujmwQVJfd3ss", "list_0tOFLp5RgV7s3LNiHrjGYs"], "tags": ["tag_UhsDkjL772Qbj5lWtT62VK", "tag_fL7t9lsnZ9swvx2HrtQ9wM"] } ``` ## 📚 Resource Prefixes | Resource | Prefix | Example | |----------|--------|---------| | Contact | `contact_` | `contact_BnKjkbBBS500CoBCP0oChQ` | | Campaign | `campaign_` | `campaign_LUE9BTxmksSmqHWbh96zsn` | | List | `list_` | `list_OcuxJHdiAvujmwQVJfd3ss` | | Tag | `tag_` | `tag_UhsDkjL772Qbj5lWtT62VK` | | Sender | `sender_` | `sender_4vK3WFhMgvOwUNyaL4QxCD` | | Template | `template_` | `template_f3lJvTEhSjKGVb5Lwc5SWS` | | Custom Field | `field_` | `field_MnuqBAG2NPLm7PZMWbjQxt` | | Webhook | `webhook_` | `webhook_9l154iiXlZoPo7vngmamee` | | Post | `post_` | `post_XyZ123aBc456DeF789GhI` | | Post Category | `post_category_` | `post_category_YzS1wOU20yw87UUHKxMzwn` | | Post Tag | `post_tag_` | `post_tag_123XyZ456AbC` | | Member | `member_` | `member_JkL012MnO345PqR678` | ## 🎯 Best Practices ### Error Handling - **Always check status codes**: 2xx = success, 4xx = client error, 5xx = server error - **Read error messages**: Descriptive messages help debug issues - **Handle rate limits**: Respect API rate limits for optimal performance ### Data Validation - **Email format**: Must be valid email addresses - **Required fields**: Check documentation for mandatory fields - **Field lengths**: Respect maximum length constraints ### Performance - **Pagination**: Use offset/limit for large datasets - **Batch operations**: Process multiple items when supported - **Caching**: Cache responses when appropriate ## 🛠️ SDKs & Integration Official SDKs available for: - [Golang](https://github.com/sendx/sendx-go-sdk) - [Python](https://github.com/sendx/sendx-python-sdk) - [Ruby](https://github.com/sendx/sendx-ruby-sdk) - [Java](https://github.com/sendx/sendx-java-sdk) - [PHP](https://github.com/sendx/sendx-php-sdk) - [JavaScript](https://github.com/sendx/sendx-javascript-sdk) ## 📞 Support Need help?
