Inbound Emails

Inbound email retrieval operations.

GET /inbound-emails

List inbound emails

Returns inbound emails received across all inboxes owned by the authenticated user, newest first, with their parsed status (received, virus_detected, oversized, or parse_rejected). Pass the inbox query parameter to scope the list to a single mailbox, or use the JSON:API filter, sort, include, and sparse fields parameters. Requires the inbound:read scope.

Parameters

Name
In
Description
filter query Exact-match filters, e.g. filter[status]=delivered. Only the fields this endpoint allow-lists are accepted; an unsupported filter returns 400.
sort query Comma-separated sort fields; prefix a field with - for descending, e.g. sort=-created_at,name. Defaults to newest-first. Only allow-listed fields are accepted; an unsupported sort returns 400.
include query Comma-separated related resources to embed in the response included member (JSON:API compound documents). Example: include=records,webhooks. Nested paths use dot notation, max depth 2. Relationships not declared by the resource, or over-deep paths, return 400.
fields query Per-type sparse fieldsets. Example: fields[domains]=name,status restricts the returned attributes for that type. The type must be present in the document and each field must be a known attribute, otherwise 400 is returned.
page query Cursor-based pagination, e.g. page[cursor]=eyJpZCI6...&page[size]=50. The cursor is an opaque token issued by the API — take it from the response's links.next / links.prev URLs or meta.next_cursor / meta.prev_cursor; never construct one. size defaults to 25 and is silently capped at 100 (out-of-range or non-numeric values fall back to the default). An invalid or expired cursor falls back to the first page; a cursor replayed with a different sort than it was issued under returns 400; unknown page members such as page[number] return 400. Follow links.next until it is null (or meta.has_more is false) to traverse a collection; links.first restarts traversal. Link URLs carry these parameters URL-encoded (page%5Bcursor%5D=...).
inbox query Filter inbound emails to a single inbox by its identifier.
GET /inbound-emails
curl -X GET https://api.minimailer.app/inbound-emails \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MINIMAILER_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.api+json"
