Secure by Design

Security is built into every API interaction to protect your mail data and ensure controlled access. API keys are generated securely, can be rotated or revoked at any time, and are required for all requests. Combined with continuous authentication and monitoring, this ensures your data remains protected while giving you full control over API usage.

Rate limits built for real-world usage
