Credentials

Authenticating with the Sendblue API | iMessage for Business

In order to use the API you will need your API key and secret.

Getting Your Credentials

Section titled “Getting Your Credentials”

Via CLI (recommended):

Terminal window
sendblue show-keys

Via Dashboard: Your API keys appear in your account dashboard as soon as you have an account.

Using Credentials

Section titled “Using Credentials”

With each request to the API, make sure to include the API Keys in the headers of the request. The server expects two headers relating to authentication:

  • SB-API-KEY-ID : This is your API Key
  • SB-API-SECRET-KEY : This is your API Secret

Best Practices

Section titled “Best Practices”

It is generally best practice not to expose your API keys by using them from the frontend, and Sendblue actually disallows requests from frontend applications entirely to keep your keys safe
