Pigeonly

Pigeonly is an inmate-communication service that helps families and friends stay connected with incarcerated loved ones across more than 4,000 correctional facilities in the United States. Through its website and mobile apps, users can send photos, letters, postcards, greeting cards, and printed articles, and set up more affordable prison phone calls, all in a few clicks. Backed by 500 Global, Pigeonly is a consumer-facing platform; as of this enrichment pass it publishes no public API, developer portal, developer documentation, OAuth surface, or machine-readable specifications, so this profile captures its identity, public web properties, and probed domain-security posture rather than API artifacts.

Pigeonly is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Inmate Communication, Corrections, Prison Calls, and Photo Sharing.

Pigeonly’s developer surface includes pricing, engineering blog, support, getting-started guide, signup flow, and 5 more developer resources.
