Smartlead

Smartlead is cold email infrastructure for outbound sales and lead generation, focused on inbox deliverability through unlimited mailbox rotation, automated warmup, and a unified master inbox. Smartlead publishes an OpenAPI 3.1.1 contract with 98 operations at server.smartlead.ai/api/v1 covering campaigns, sequences, leads and lead lists, sender mailboxes and warmup, the master inbox, webhooks, analytics, Smart Delivery placement testing, Smart Senders and agency client management, authenticated with an API key passed as a query parameter. It also ships an unusually forward agent surface for its size — an A2A agent card, a published Agent Skill, a remote documentation MCP server, llms.txt, and a first-party CLI — alongside a 13-event signed webhook catalog.

Smartlead publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Campaign Statistics API, Campaigns API, Analytics API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Cold Email, Outbound, Sales, Deliverability, and Email Warm-up.

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

Smartlead’s developer surface includes authentication, CLI, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, engineering blog, and 34 more developer resources.

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-14 · rubric v0.22.0
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.
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/smartlead-ai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
