EmailOctopus
EmailOctopus is an affordable email-marketing platform for newsletters, campaigns, automations and audience management, built on a low-cost sending model that undercuts the incumbent ESPs. Its v2 REST API is served from a single host, https://api.emailoctopus.com, with no version segment in the path, and is authenticated with a Bearer API key. The API covers subscriber lists, contacts, per-list custom fields and tags, campaigns and three campaign report projections, plus an operation to enqueue a contact into an automation. EmailOctopus publishes a real OpenAPI 3.1.0 document (25 operations, 19 schemas) at its v2 reference URL, documents an RFC 7807 error envelope with dereferenceable type URIs, cursor pagination, a token-bucket rate limit of 10 requests per second with a burst of 100, and an HMAC-SHA256-signed webhook surface carrying eight contact event types. It ships no official client SDK, no CLI and no MCP server.
EmailOctopus publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Automation API, Campaign API, Contact API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Email, Email Marketing, Newsletters, Campaigns, and Automation.
The EmailOctopus catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
EmailOctopus’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 23 more developer resources.
