# Introduction

> Information about our API

Utilise our API to extend your application with our email services.

API Endpoint: [https://api.jetemail.com](https://api.jetemail.com)

## Authentication

All API endpoints are authenticated using Bearer tokens. We support two types of API keys:

1. **Transactional API Keys** - Used exclusively for sending emails via the [/email](/api-reference/email/send-an-email) endpoint
2. **Dashboard API Keys** - Used for all other API endpoints and administrative functions

You can generate both types of API keys in our Dashboard at [https://dash.jetemail.com](https://dash.jetemail.com)

Example Transactional API Key header:

```
Authorization: Bearer transactional_1111111111111
```

Example Dashboard API header:

```
Authorization: Bearer api_11111111111111111
```

## Rate Limits

Our API has tier-based rate limits that vary depending on your subscription plan:

### Dashboard API Keys

* **Free tier**: 100 requests per minute
* **Pro tier**: 250 requests per minute

### Transactional API Keys ([/email](/api-reference/email/send-an-email) & [/email-batch](/api-reference/email/email-batch))

* **Free tier**: 100 emails per minute
* **Pro tier**: 600 emails per minute
* **Enterprise tier**: Starts at 5000 per minute, can be increased.

Rate limits are applied per account (not per IP, token, or other identifier). If you exceed your tier's limit, all API calls for the next minute will be blocked, receiving a HTTP 429 response. The response will include a `Retry-After` header indicating the number of seconds until the rate limit is lifted.
