    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.

        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`.
