REST API Overview for DMLY

DMLY provides a REST API that lets you connect your workspace to external tools (CRMs, internal dashboards, analytics, custom apps) and automate actions programmatically.

What you can do with the DMLY REST API

With the API, you can:

• Send messages programmatically

• Manage contacts, conversations, and channels

• Automate workflows

• Trigger broadcasts

• Integrate with third-party platforms (CRM, analytics, bots, etc.)

API Host (DMLY)

Use the DMLY API host below for all requests:

https://api.dmly.io/api

Authentication (x-api-key header)

All requests must include your API key in the x-api-key header.

Where to get it in DMLY

• Go to Integrations → REST API

• Click New API Key, give it a name, and generate the key (copy it and store it safely).

Example request

curl -X GET 'https://api.dmly.io/api/<endpoint>' \
  -H 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Rate limits

DMLY enforces rate limits to ensure stability and prevent abuse. For subscribed accounts, the baseline limit is:

• 100 requests per minute (RPM)

• 144,000 requests per day (RPD)

If you need higher limits (enterprise use-cases), contact support.

Getting started (recommended flow)

1. Go to Integrations → REST API in DMLY.

2. Copy your API Host (use https://api.dmly.io/api).

3. Generate a New API Key and store it securely.

4. Build your integration and authenticate every request with x-api-key.

How to test the API in Postman

DMLY supports using a Postman collection workflow: import the collection, set your environment variables (host and x-api-key), then test endpoints directly from Postman.

Best practices

• Keep your API key secret (never expose it in frontend code).

• Store keys in environment variables (not hardcoded in repos).

• Handle rate limiting (retry with backoff on burst traffic).

• Log requests responsibly (avoid storing sensitive message content unless required).
