Dyspatch API (2023.02)

Dyspatch Support: support@dyspatch.io URL: https://docs.dyspatch.io Terms of Service

Introduction

The Dyspatch API is based on the REST paradigm, and features resource based URLs with standard HTTP response codes to indicate errors. We use standard HTTP authentication and request verbs, and all responses are JSON formatted. See our Implementation Guide for more details on how to implement Dyspatch.

API Client Libraries

Dyspatch provides API Clients for popular languages and web frameworks.

Authentication

Bearer

Set Bearer followed by your API key as the Authorization header in your API requests.

Authorization: Bearer EXAMPLEAPIKEYXXXXXXXX12345678

Below is an example curl request with an API key in the Authorization header.

curl --request GET \
--url https://api.dyspatch.io/templates \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer EXAMPLEAPIKEYXXXXXXXX12345678' \
--header 'Accept: application/vnd.dyspatch.2023.02+json'
Security Scheme Type API Key
Header parameter name: Authorization

Templates

Templates are the email templates found in your Dyspatch account. Only the published Template Draft is returned.

A typical integration will start with using the Templates list endpoint to iterate through and sync Templates.

List Templates

Gets a list of Template Metadata objects for all templates. Up to 25 results returned before results are paginated.

Authorizations:
Bearer
query Parameters
cursor
string

A cursor value used to retrieve a specific page from a paginated result set.

header Parameters

string

A version of the API that should be used for the request. For example, to use version "2023.02", set the value to "application/vnd.dyspatch.2023.02+json"
