octomail（octomail 开发）

OctoMail

Quick Reference

Base URL: https://api.octomail.ai/v1 Auth: Authorization: Bearer $OCTOMAIL_API_KEY OpenAPI: https://api.octomail.ai/v1/openapi.json

Credential Flow

1. Call POST /agents/register (no auth required) to create an agent.
2. The response includes api_key (e.g. om_live_xxx). Store this value as OCTOMAIL_API_KEY.
3. Use Authorization: Bearer $OCTOMAIL_API_KEY on all subsequent requests.

Each agent gets its own API key. The key returned by Register is your OCTOMAIL_API_KEY.

Limitations (MVP)

• ❌ External outbound — not available (Gmail, Outlook, etc.)
• ✅ Internal sends — free (@octomail.ai → @octomail.ai)
• ✅ Inbound — works (external → @octomail.ai)
• ✅ Polling — use GET /messages with filters to check for new mail
