Paubox

Paubox is a HIPAA compliant, HITRUST certified email infrastructure company serving healthcare organizations in the United States. Its products encrypt outbound email without recipient portals, passwords, or plugins, and work alongside Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. The developer surface is three REST APIs on api.paubox.com — the Paubox Email API for transactional email (send, bulk send, message receipt, Handlebars dynamic templates, templated messages) with an SMTP relay alternative at smtp.paubox.com:587; the Paubox Marketing API for HIPAA compliant campaign mailings, drip campaigns, subscribers, subscription lists, tracking links and campaign analytics; and the Paubox Forms API for building, hosting and processing secure patient intake forms with public respondent endpoints and scoped management endpoints. Paubox publishes OpenAPI 3.0 definitions for all three, official SDKs for ten languages, a Node-based CLI, delivery webhooks, an llms.txt, an A2A agent card, a published Agent Skill, and a hosted MCP server at mcp.paubox.com exposing 30 tools across email, forms and marketing.

Paubox publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Analytics API, Campaign Mailings API, Drip Campaigns API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Email, HIPAA, Healthcare, Compliance, and Transactional Email.

The Paubox catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-20 · rubric v0.22.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health 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/.
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/paubox: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
