How to Get Your Free MailSlurp API Key and Access Your Inbox: A Step-by-Step Guide for HTTP Requests and SDK Clients
The MailSlurp email inbox API is free for personal use but requires an API KEY to be used. This page explains to get an API KEY and how to configure HTTP requests or SDK clients to use the MailSlurp API.
Create an account
First create an account or sign into your dashboard.
Find API Key in the dashboard
You will see the API key displayed on the home page once logged in.
Using your API Key
Configure SDK clients to use your API Key so that you can use MailSlurp programmatically via REST API or developer SDKs. For SMTP and IMAP access see the mailserver guide.
Configure HTTP requests
To configure HTTP client pass an x-key
header with the value set to your API key.
curl -H x-api-key:YOUR_API_KEY -X POST https://api.mailslurp.com/inboxes
Configure SDK Clients
See the documentation for each client or use the example below to configure the NodeJS package:
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY ?? 'your-apikey';
const { MailSlurp } = require('mailslurp-client');
const mailslurp = new MailSlurp({ apiKey });
