OpenAPI Specification

  title: inboxy Addresses API
  version: 0.3.0
  summary: Read + manage your inboxy.net inbox programmatically.
  description: 'REST surface over the inboxy alias inbox. Mint aliases, list/search/read

    messages, fetch attachments, manage your API keys, and emit user-initiated

    mail under one of your aliases.


    Mail-emitting paths (`POST /v1/messages/{id}/reply`, `POST /v1/mail/send`,

    `POST /v1/mail/invite`) are recipient-locked and alias-locked server-side:

    the `From:` is always one of the caller''s `@inboxy.net` aliases, the

    recipient is validated against per-user caps and the abuse rules in

    `packages/reply`, and every external message carries the mandatory

    inboxy attribution footer. There is no arbitrary-`From:` send path.


    All endpoints require a bearer API key created from the inboxy.net web UI

    at `/account/keys` (mint is gated by step-up and lives only on the web — there

    is no API-channel mint). Pass it as `Authorization: Bearer ik_…`.


    The signed-token attachment download URLs (`/v1/attachments/{token}/download`,

    `/v1/messages/raw/{token}/download`) are public-by-token — they intentionally

    bypass bearer auth and are not listed here. Obtain them via the JSON

    endpoints below.'

      description: 'Requires `manage` scope. `type` picks the shape: `standard` (default, `adjective-noun-NN`), `agent` (`agent-xxxxxxxx`, flagged `kind: agent`) or `domain` (`yourdomain.com-xxxxxxxx`, flagged `kind: agent`, needs `domain_id` or `domain` naming one of your verified domains — `invalid_domain`, 400 otherwise). Standard aliases are gated by the open-address count cap (`cap_reached`, 403, body carries `used`/`limit`) and the Early-Adopter rotation cooldown (`rotation_cooldown`, 429, body carries `retry_after_sec`/`next_allowed_at`). `agent` and `domain` aliases share a separate agent allowance (`cap_reached`, 403, `pool: "agent"`) and skip the cooldown.'
