  version: 1.0.0
  description: "Primitive is email infrastructure for AI agents. The Primitive API lets you manage domains, emails, webhook endpoints,\nfilters, and account settings programmatically.\n\n## Authentication\n\nMost endpoints require a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header:\n\n```\nAuthorization: Bearer prim_<your_api_key>\nAuthorization: Bearer prim_oat_<oauth_access_token>\n```\n\nAPI keys and OAuth access tokens are org-scoped. Create and manage them in your dashboard\nunder Settings > API Keys. CLI login plus CLI/agent signup endpoints\nexplicitly declare `security: []`; they do not require an API key because\nthey are used to create OAuth CLI sessions.\n\n## Rate Limiting\n\nThe API enforces a sliding window rate limit of **120 requests per\n60 seconds** per organization. When exceeded, the API returns `429`\nwith a `Retry-After` header indicating how many seconds to wait.\n\n## Pagination\n\nList endpoints use cursor-based pagination. Responses include a\n`meta` object with `total`, `limit`, and `cursor` fields. Pass the\n`cursor` value as a query parameter to fetch the next page. When\n`cursor` is `null`, there are no more results.\n\n## Response Format\n\nAll responses use a consistent envelope:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"success\": true,\n  \"data\": { ... },\n  \"meta\": { \"total\": 42, \"limit\": 50, \"cursor\": \"...\" }\n}\n```\n\nErrors follow the same pattern:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"success\": false,\n  \"error\": { \"code\": \"not_found\", \"message\": \"Email not found\" }\n}\n```\n\n## Webhook signing\n\nOutbound webhook deliveries (configured via the `endpoints` API)\nare signed so receivers can verify they came from Primitive and\nhave not been tampered with in transit. The signing scheme is\ndeliberately simple so it can be reimplemented in any language\nin a few lines. The Node SDK's `verifyWebhookSignature` helper\nis the reference implementation; the wire details below let you\nwrite a verifier in Python, Go, Ruby, etc. without reading our\nsource.\n\n**Header**: `Primitive-Signature: t=<unix-seconds>,v1=<hex>`\n\nA legacy `MyMX-Signature` header is also sent on every delivery\nwith the same value, retained for back-compatibility with\nintegrations written before the rename. New code should read\n`Primitive-Signature`.\n\n**Signed string**: `${timestamp}.${rawBody}` where `timestamp`\nis the Unix-seconds integer from the `t=` parameter and\n`rawBody` is the exact bytes of the HTTP request body BEFORE\nany JSON decoding. Verify against the raw body, not a\nre-serialized parse, or you will silently mismatch on\ninsignificant whitespace.\n\n**Signature**: HMAC-SHA256 of the signed string, hex-encoded\n(lowercase). Use the account's webhook secret as the HMAC key,\nas a UTF-8 byte sequence.\n\n**Secret**: returned by `GET /account/webhook-secret`. The\nstring looks base64-shaped (e.g. `XNHBBW8VqoBjRfNs1tkZj11jTk...`)\nbut is NOT base64; use it AS-IS as a UTF-8 string for the HMAC\nkey. Base64-decoding before HMAC will silently produce\nmismatched signatures.\n\n**Tolerance**: by convention, reject deliveries whose `t=`\ntimestamp is more than 5 minutes off your wall-clock to defend\nagainst replay attacks. The Node SDK's helper enforces this by\ndefault.\n\n**Verification recipe** (any language):\n\n```\n1. Read the raw HTTP body (do not parse).\n2. Read `Primitive-Signature: t=<ts>,v1=<sig>`.\n3. Reject if abs(now - ts) > 300 seconds.\n4. expected = HMAC_SHA256_hex(secret_utf8, f\"{ts}.{rawBody}\")\n5. Constant-time compare expected to sig. Reject if not equal.\n```\n\nFor Node, use `verifyWebhookSignature` from\n`@primitivedotdev/sdk/webhook` (or the higher-level\n`handleWebhook` helper if you want a one-liner). For other\nlanguages, the recipe above is everything you need.\n\nTest deliveries: `POST /endpoints/{id}/test` triggers a fake\ndelivery to your endpoint URL, signed with your real account\nsecret, so you can confirm verification end-to-end without\nneeding real inbound mail. The test response carries the exact\n`signature` header value sent on the wire so you can compare\nstrings directly.\n\n\n## Errors\n\nEvery error response is the same JSON envelope (`{ \"success\": false, \"error\": { \"code\", \"message\" } }`), served as `application/json` with HTTP status codes, following the RFC 7807 problem-details shape. The `error.code` is a stable machine-readable string and `error.message` is human-readable.\n\n## Authorization and roles\n\nAccess is governed by organization role-based access control. Every organization member holds one of three roles — `owner`, `admin`, or `member` — and a credential inherits a role. **API keys** always act at `member` level, regardless of the role of the user who created them, so an API key can never perform owner- or admin-only actions. **OAuth access tokens** act with the authorizing user's current organization role, resolved on each request. Every operation in this spec is part of the member-level surface, so any valid credential can call it. Organization administration that is not part of this API — billing and organization settings — requires an `owner` or `admin` and is performed in the dashboard. Fine-grained per-key scopes (e.g. a send-only or read-only key) are on the roadmap; today the role model is the unit of access control.\n\n## Versioning\n\nThe current stable API is **v1**. All endpoints are served under `/v1/` and are covered by a backward-compatibility guarantee: existing fields and status codes will not change without a deprecation notice.\n\nBreaking changes are announced at least 6 months in advance via changelog and email. Deprecated operations and fields are marked `x-deprecated: true` in the spec and carry a plain-English description of the replacement. The `v1` path prefix is guaranteed stable indefinitely; backward-compatible additions (new optional fields, new endpoints) may be made at any time without a version bump."

      summary: Get webhook signing secret
      description: 'Returns the webhook signing secret for your account. If no

        secret exists yet, one is generated automatically on first

        access.


        Signing is account-scoped, not per-endpoint. Every webhook

        delivery from any of your registered endpoints is signed

        with this single secret. Rotate via

        `POST /account/webhook-secret/rotate`.


        **Secret format**: the returned string looks base64-shaped

        (e.g. `XNHBBW8VqoBjRfNs1tkZj11jTk...`) but is NOT base64.

        Use it AS-IS as a UTF-8 string when computing HMAC over a

        delivery body. Base64-decoding before HMAC will silently

        produce mismatched signatures.


        See the API-level "Webhook signing" section for the full

        wire format (header name, signed string shape, hash algo,

        tolerance) including a language-agnostic verification

        recipe.
