POST /emails/lint

Deliverability lint without sending: a 0-100 placement score plus every finding with its fix.

Request

The same call in curl, Node and Python. A path id in the sample is a placeholder.

curl

curl -sS -X POST https://api.agentisend.com/emails/lint \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTISEND_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"from":"example","to":["example"]}'

Node

import { AgentiSend } from 'agentisend';

const client = new AgentiSend(process.env.AGENTISEND_API_KEY);
const result = await client.request({
  method: 'POST',
  path: '/emails/lint',
  body: {
    "from": "example",
    "to": [
      "example"
    ]
  },
});

Python

import json, os, urllib.request

url = 'https://api.agentisend.com/emails/lint'
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + os.environ['AGENTISEND_API_KEY']}
payload = json.dumps({"from":"example","to":["example"]}).encode()
headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
request = urllib.request.Request(url, data=payload, headers=headers, method='POST')
print(urllib.request.urlopen(request).read().decode())

Tag: emails. Generated from openapi.json; the anchor post-emails-lint is the id the console's error fix links point at.

Parameters

  • Idempotency-Key header · string · optional — Makes this call safe to retry. Send the same key with the same body and the original response is replayed instead of the work happening twice. Keys are 1-256 characters and are remembered for 7 days. While the first attempt is still running, a second call with that key returns 409 idempotency_in_flight (Resend calls this concurrent_idempotent_requests); the same key with a different body returns 409 idempotency_payload_mismatch (Resend: invalid_idempotent_request). Resend-Idempotency-Key is accepted as the same header.
  • Resend-Idempotency-Key header · string · optional — Alias of Idempotency-Key. Idempotency-Key wins if both are sent.

Errors

The codes this operation can answer with, and what to do about each. Every one arrives with its code, message, fix and docs_url.

  • csrf_origin_rejected (403) — This request came from a page on another site, and it changes data. Fix: Call the API with an API key (Authorization: Bearer …) instead of a session cookie, or make the request from the console. Create a key in the console under Settings, API keys.
  • idempotency_in_flight (409) — A request with this Idempotency-Key is still in progress. Fix: Wait and retry with the same Idempotency-Key to receive the original response.
  • idempotency_payload_mismatch (409) — Same Idempotency-Key was used with a different payload. Fix: Reuse the exact same body for retries, or send a new Idempotency-Key for a new request.
  • insufficient_role (403) — Your role on this account cannot make this change. Fix: Ask an owner to make the change, or to raise your role with PATCH /team/members/:id.
  • internal_server_error (500, internal_server_error) — Unexpected error. Fix: Retry ONCE after a short pause, with the same Idempotency-Key so the retry cannot double-send. If it fails again, stop retrying and report the x-request-id from the response — that id is what identifies this exact failure in support.
  • invalid_api_key (403, invalid_api_key) — API key is invalid or revoked. Fix: Create a new key with POST /api-keys; deleted keys cannot be restored.
  • invalid_idempotency_key (400) — Idempotency-Key must be 1-256 characters. Fix: Send a non-empty Idempotency-Key header of at most 256 characters.
  • mfa_required (401) — This session has not completed two-factor authentication. Fix: Finish signing in at https://console.agentisend.com/verify with a code from your authenticator app, or one of your recovery codes. Manage the second factor in the console under Settings, Security.
  • missing_api_key (401, missing_api_key) — Missing API key in authorization header. Fix: Create an API key at https://console.agentisend.com/api-keys and send "Authorization: Bearer as_...". MCP clients can connect with OAuth instead of a key.
  • payload_too_large (413) — Request body is larger than this endpoint accepts. Fix: Send a smaller body. Most endpoints accept 1 MB. Sends (POST /emails, /emails/batch, replies) and template, broadcast and automation edits accept 50 MB, which fits 40 MB of attachments after base64. /mcp accepts 1 MB per JSON-RPC call.
  • rate_limit_exceeded (429, rate_ceiling_exceeded, rate_limit_exceeded) — Too many requests. Fix: Back off and retry honoring the Retry-After header.
  • restricted_api_key (403, restricted_api_key) — This API key is restricted to sending only. Fix: Use a full_access key (POST /api-keys with permission=full_access) for management endpoints.
  • unsupported_media_type (415) — This endpoint does not accept that content type. Fix: Send the body as JSON with `Content-Type: application/json`.
  • validation_error (400, domain_not_verified, invalid_parameter, validation_error) — Error in one or more fields. Fix: Correct the fields listed in the error details and retry the request.
