Getting started
Before you start
Generate an API key from your Brevo account settings. You’ll need it to authenticate your requests. See the API key authentication guide for step-by-step instructions.
If you plan to use the playground mode, whitelist your IP address first. See IP security for instructions.
Run your first call
The documentation includes an interactive playground that lets you test API endpoints directly from your browser. You can modify request parameters, add headers, and see real responses without writing any code.
Try the endpoint in the panel to the right. It retrieves your account information and validates your API key. Enter your API key in the api-key header, then click Send request to execute the request.
A successful response returns your account details, including your account name, email, and plan information. This confirms your API key is valid and you’re ready to make additional API calls.
