  title: Political Comms Email Senders API
  summary: Direct-to-carrier political texting API for campaigns, PACs, advocacy organizations, fundraisers, and elected officials.
  description: 'Public REST API for the Political Comms platform. Surfaces include Projects (compose, test, schedule, send), Conversations (read inbound threads and reply inside them), Contact Lists (S3 import and analysis), Media Files, Organizations and hierarchy, Brands, Campaigns, Tracking Domains, Phone Numbers, Analytics, and Billing.


    Authentication is an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` header. Keys are generated from the dashboard at Admin → API and are prefixed `pc_live_`. All POST and PATCH endpoints that mutate state are designed to be safe to retry, with optional `Idempotency-Key` headers for stronger guarantees. Rate limit is 600 requests per minute per key (bursts up to 600, refilling at 10 per second, the same for every scope; the `X-RateLimit-Limit` header reports your key''s exact limit, and `Retry-After` on a 429 is the seconds until your next request is allowed).


    Webhooks emit `message.sent`, `message.delivered`, `message.failed`, `message.replied`, and `link.clicked` events. Payloads are HMAC-signed; validate the signature before trusting any payload.


    A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is available at https://docs.politicalcomms.com/mcp for AI agents that need to search the documentation programmatically. The developer hub at https://politicalcomms.com/developers/ has quickstart examples in cURL, raw HTTP, and Python.'
