}Authorizations
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.
Path Parameters
^msg_[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$"msg_abc123"
Query Parameters
Set to edit_history to include each edited message's earlier versions in edit_history.
edit_history Response

Wraps every successful response. The result is in data.
success ^trc_[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$"trc_8f2a1c0e4b7d"
"2026-10-14T17:01:00.000Z"

Your X-Request-ID header value, echoed back when you send one. Not included on the send responses (POST /v1/chats, POST /v1/chats/{chat_id}/messages, POST /v1/messages/{message_id}/retry); keep your own mapping from your request ID to the returned message ID there.
