Our email forwarding API

This is the documentation of our API endpoint at ImprovMX.com. This lets you list, create, edit and remove domains and email aliases that you can forward to programmatically.

Base URL

The base URL of ImprovMX’s API can be accessed at

https://api.improvmx.com/v3/

This v3 has been released on April 30th, 2020. And we recommend you to update as soon as possible.

The v2 has been marked as deprecated and will be removed in June 1st.

Authentication

First, you need to retrieve your API Key by visiting the API page on your ImprovMX app dashboard.

Authentication is done via the “Basic auth mechanism”.

Simply pass the string “api” as the username and your API key as the password, like the following:

Authorization: Basic api:{your_api_key}

That’s it, you are now ready to communicate with our API!

Error codes

Here are the main error codes you will encounter:

CodeDescription
200Success
This means the request was successfully made
400Bad Request
This means you passed a wrong or missing parameter
401Authentication required
You tried to access an endpoint that requires authentication and you are not properly authenticated.
403Forbidden
You don’t have the permissions to access or edit this endpoint. For instance, a premium account or business account is required.
500Server error
This happens when we have a bug… Reach out to us and we’ll fix it 🙂

When an error occurs, you will always receive a JSON response in the body explaining in detail what was the reason for the failure. This should help you understand and adapt your subsequent requests accordingly.

For instance, here’s an example of a Bad Request response returned by the server:

{
    "errors": {
        "email": [
            "You cannot use your domain in your email."
