List received mail

GET/v1/inbound

Secret key — sk_… or sk_test_… · Base URL https://api.volanea.com

Received messages, newest first, cursor-paginated. Before this existed, inbound mail was reachable only as GET /v1/emails?source=inbound. Note that the recipient's local part preserves its case (RFC 5321 §2.4), so a ticket+AbC123@… routing token survives the round trip and can be matched against what POST /v1/send put in replyTo; only the domain is lowercased.

Query parameters

cursorstring
Pagination cursor — an OPAQUE token. Take the `nextCursor` from the previous page and send it back unchanged. Do not parse it, do not coerce it to a number, and do not construct one: the format is `<unixMs>.<objectId>` today and may change. A cursor that cannot be parsed is rejected with 422 `validation_error` rather than silently restarting at page one.
limitinteger
Page size (1–200, default 50).

Response

A page of received messages.

dataobject[]required
- emailIdstringrequired
  Use with `GET /v1/emails/{id}` to read the stored body.
- contactIdstring | null
  The sender, upserted as a contact at ingest.
- tostringrequired
  The recipient exactly as stored. Only the domain is lowercased — the local part keeps its case, because a Reply-To routing address (`ticket+AbC123XyZ@…`) carries a case-sensitive token.
- subjectstringrequired
- fromEmailemailrequired
- fromNamestring | null
- statusenumrequired
  received
- createdAtdate-timerequired
nextCursorstring | nullrequired
Opaque token. Pass back as `cursor` verbatim to fetch the next page; `null` when there are no more rows.

Errors

Every failure returns the standard envelope — branch on `code`, never on the wording of `error`.
