# SendFleet Docs

> SendFleet is a transactional email API with two sending modes. BYOC routes mail through
> your own AWS SES account, so recipients, subjects and bodies are never written to
> SendFleet's database. Shared SES routes mail through SendFleet's managed infrastructure
> and adds email logs, delivery webhooks and handled bounce/complaint suppression. Same
> endpoint, same JSON payload, same response shape either way. No SDK required.

The links below are the HTML pages, which are the authority for each subject.
`/llms-full.txt` carries the whole reference condensed into one plain-text
file, for a short context window.

SendFleet's API is a single REST endpoint: `POST https://sendfleet.net/api/send/`,
authenticated with an `X-API-Key` header, one recipient per request, at least one of
`message`, `html` or `attachments` required. Monthly plans run from a free 50-email BYOC
tier to $59/month for 100,000 managed sends. Rate limit is 60 requests per minute per key
on every plan.

This file follows the llms.txt specification. It is a pointer, not a mirror: each entry
below is a page, and each page is the authority. `/llms-full.txt` on the same host carries
a condensed single-file version for loading into a context window.
