    The Blujay API lets you send and receive iMessage, RCS and SMS messages from
    your

    Blujay phone numbers, manage contacts, and receive real-time webhooks.


    Every response uses the same JSON envelope and carries a `trace_id` you can
    share

    with support. Authenticate with your workspace API key.

      description: >
        Your workspace API key, sent as `Authorization: Bearer blu_...`.
        Workspace admins can find it in the Blujay app under **API**.


        An API key has full access to your workspace and works on every
        endpoint. There is no test mode: every key sends real messages and
        changes real data, so keep it secret and use it only from your server.


        Each API key can make 600 read requests and 120 write requests per
        minute, plus 60 attachment requests per minute. Over a limit you get
        `429 RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` with `Retry-After`.


        **Reseller partner keys.** A partner key acts for one of the partner's
        customers when the request names it in the `Blujay-Workspace` header
        (the customer's `workspace_` ID). Without the header it reaches only
        `/v1/partner/*` and `/v1/me`. Each customer gets the limits above for
        each partner key, and all of a partner's requests together get ten times
        those limits; a `429` says which in `error.details[0].scope`
        (`partner_customer` or `partner`). A `messaging` key can read anything
        for a customer and change chats, messages, contacts, attachments and
        vCards; everything else needs an `admin` key (`403
        PARTNER_ROLE_FORBIDDEN`). Paused or closing customers can be read but
        not changed (`409 CUSTOMER_PAUSED` or `CUSTOMER_CLOSING`). Any other
        workspace ID in the header returns `404 NOT_FOUND`; using the header
        with any other credential returns `400 WORKSPACE_HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED`.
