API

This guide is for using the API from the backend. If it is possible to do it from the frontend, we will mention it clearly.

Quick guide

To subscribe a user to a subscriber list, use the following URL pattern:

https://api.bluefox.email/v1/subscriber-lists/##YOUR_SUBSCRIBER_LIST_ID##

Replace the placeholders with your specific information:

##YOUR_SUBSCRIBER_LIST_ID##
##YOUR_API_KEY##

You can find the IDs to replace by clicking on the code guide button in a subscriber list:

In the code guide dialog, these values are automatically filled in. If you copy the code snippets, you only need to replace the ##YOUR_API_KEY##.

Request Body:

json

{
  "name": "Jon Doe",
  "email": "jon@doe.com"
}

cUrl:

bash

 curl -X POST "https://api.bluefox.email/v1/subscriber-lists/##YOUR_SUBSCRIBER_LIST_ID##" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer ##YOUR_API_KEY##" -d '{"name": "Jon Doe", "email": "jon@doe.com"}'

Javascript:

javascript

const url = 'https://api.bluefox.email/v1/subscriber-lists/##YOUR_SUBSCRIBER_LIST_ID##'

const response = await fetch(url, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ##YOUR_APIKEY##'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: 'Jon Doe',
    email: 'jon@doe.com'
  })
})

PHP:

php

  $apiKey = "##YOUR_API_KEY##"; // TODO: replace YOUR_APIKEY

  $url = "https://api.bluefox.email/v1/subscriber-lists/##YOUR_SUBSCRIBER_LIST_ID##";

  $data = array(
      'name' => 'userName',
      'email' => 'example@gmail.com'
  );

  $options = array(
      'http' => array(
          'header'  => "Content-Type: application/json\r\n" .
                      "Authorization: Bearer $apiKey\r\n",
          'method'  => 'POST',
          'content' => json_encode($data),
      ),
  );

  $context  = stream_context_create($options);
  $response = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

Security Warning

Since an API key is very sensitive information, never store it in your frontend code. Always use it from your backend.
