Bird Email Broadcasts API

Send one email to a stored audience. Create a broadcast as a draft, then send it immediately or schedule it for later; scheduled and in-progress broadcasts can be canceled. The audience's contacts at send time become the recipient set after suppressions are applied. The recipients endpoint returns each recipient's delivery state.

Authentication & Security 4

Bird Email Broadcasts API declares 4 security schemes for authenticating requests. It accepts HTTP bearer tokens (BearerAuth). An API key is passed in the cookie as bird_session (CookieAuth). An API key is passed in the header as X-Realtime-Key (RealtimeKey). An API key is passed in the header as X-Realtime-Secret (RealtimeSecret). By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • BearerAuth — Pass the API key as a bearer token in the Authorization header. Keys use the format bk{region}. The prefix identifies the region and selects the API endpoint.…
  • CookieAuth — Session cookie set after signing in to the Bird dashboard. The cookie value is an opaque session token; no session data is stored in the cookie itself.
  • RealtimeKey — The Realtime app key. Together with X-Realtime-Secret, it authenticates a request to the Realtime API in addition to the workspace credential. Both values come…
  • RealtimeSecret — The Realtime app secret paired with X-Realtime-Key. The API returns the secret only when the key is created and does not store it. Create a new key and revoke…

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Bird Email Broadcasts API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
