Submitting an email via API

  1. Create a text file containing the complete payload of an email - both headers and body - email.txt. If you have an email in your mail client you want to reply you can copy it out of the Raw Source or Show Original window and paste it into a new file.

  2. Use aboutmyemail to submit the mail to the API

    aboutmyemail --api-key=myemail_12345678 email.txt
  3. You should see a series of messages as the mail is processed.

  4. The final line printed should be the URL where the results are visible.

  5. aboutmyemail --help will display flags you can use to set metadata about the message being submitted or to open a browser for the result pages automatically.
