# Get started with the Make API

Make builds newsletter and SMS software for marketing and communication. Pick a service to browse its reference and copy ready-made requests in your programming language.

Note: Newsletter and Make Sender are separate products and require separate subscriptions and API keys. Please contact support if you have any questions.

## Newsletter

Contacts, newsletters and sendings in the Make newsletter tool.

- [Subscribers API](https://apidocs.make.as/subscribers_api.md): Keep your contacts in sync with Make. Create and update subscribers, organise them in lists and tags, and read their opens, clicks and unsubscribes.
- [Newsletter API](https://apidocs.make.as/newsmail_api.md): Send newsletters built in Make, trigger recurring actions, and fetch delivery and engagement statistics for each sending.
- [Sender API](https://apidocs.make.as/sender_api.md): Start newsletter sendings from your own system and register webhooks for their events. Uses its own API key.

## Make Sender

E-mail from your own domains, over REST or SMTP.

- [Make Sender API](https://apidocs.make.as/make_sender.md): Send e-mail from your own verified domains. The REST API covers domains, mailing lists, recipients, suppressions and sending messages.
- [SMTP](https://apidocs.make.as/smtp.md): Use Make Sender from any SMTP client or library instead of the REST API.
- [Webhooks](https://apidocs.make.as/webhooks.md): Get notified in your own system when e-mail you sent is delivered, bounces, or is opened or clicked.

## Authentication

All calls use Basic HTTP Authentication. Use your Userid as the username and your APIKey as the password.

```bash
curl --request GET \
  --user 'user_id:api_key' \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --url 'https://subscribers.dialogapi.no/api/public/v2/subscriberlists'
```
