Authentication

​

Bearer Token

Authorization: Bearer sk_proj_your_secret_key

• Sending: POST /v1/send-email, POST /v1/send-template-email, POST /v1/send-batch, POST /send-email
• Domains: POST /domains/register, GET /domains/:domain/dns-records, POST /domains/:domain/verify, GET /domains/:domain/status, GET /domains?domain=, POST /domains/:domain/recreate, DELETE /domains/:domain, PUT /domains/:domain/sender, POST /domains/verify-email, GET /domains/verify-email/status
• Activity: GET /v1/activity, GET /v1/activity/:id
• Data: POST /v1/leads, POST /v1/events (and the rest of the leads and events API)

​

Example

curl -X POST https://api.reallyquickemails.com/v1/send-email \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_proj_your_secret_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "recipient_email": "customer@example.com",
    "sender_email": "sales@yourdomain.com",
    "subject": "Order confirmation",
    "html_body": "<h1>Order confirmed</h1>"
  }'

​

How it works

1. The server extracts the Secret Key from the Authorization header
2. It validates the key and resolves the associated project
3. If the key is valid, the projectId is derived automatically — you don’t need to send it

​

Where to find your Secret Key

1. Log in to the RQE dashboard.
2. Select your project.
3. In the sidebar, open Integrations → API Keys.
4. Copy your Secret Key (it starts with sk_proj_).
