listmonk

listmonk is a free and open-source, self-hosted newsletter and mailing-list manager built in Go with a Vue front end. Every feature in the admin UI is backed by a documented REST API on the self-hosted instance (Basic auth with an API user and token) covering subscribers, lists, campaigns, templates, media, CSV import, transactional messages, and bounces. There is no hosted SaaS - users run their own instance.

listmonk publishes 14 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Bounces API, Campaigns API, Import API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Email, Newsletters, Mailing List, Marketing, and Transactional Email.

The listmonk catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

listmonk’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, changelog, CLI, sandbox, API reference, getting-started guide, and 29 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-13 · rubric v0.28.0
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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
