Campaign Monitor

Campaign Monitor, a Marigold brand, is an email marketing platform for marketers and agencies. Its REST API — served under the original createsend name at api.createsend.com/api/v3.3 — manages clients, subscriber lists, subscribers and custom fields, segments, campaigns, HTML templates, automated journeys, authenticated sending domains and transactional email, and returns per-recipient reporting for opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribes and spam complaints. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 with twelve coarse permissions, or an API key over HTTP Basic. Per-list webhooks push Subscribe, Update and Deactivate events. Campaign Monitor publishes no OpenAPI, no AsyncAPI and no MCP server; the contract is HTML reference documentation plus seven official client libraries.

Campaign Monitor publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Email Marketing, Campaigns, Subscribers, Transactional Email, and Segments.

The Campaign Monitor catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 JSON-LD context.

Campaign Monitor’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, authentication, and 33 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/campaignmonitor: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
