  title: Plunk Campaigns Events API
  description: 'The Plunk REST API for the open-source email platform for SaaS. Plunk unifies transactional email (send), event tracking for automations (track), contact / subscriber management, and marketing campaigns behind a single Bearer-authenticated API. Public API routes under /v1 return a wrapped envelope ({"success": true, "data": ...}); most routes require a secret key (sk_), while /v1/track may also be called with a public key (pk_) for client-side use. The same API is served by the hosted platform and by self-hosted (AGPL-3.0) deployments.'
