Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about the Sendblue iMessage API.

What is the Sendblue iMessage API?
A REST API that lets developers send and receive iMessages programmatically. Integrate iMessage into any application, build AI chatbots, automate customer communications, all without Apple hardware or a Mac server. Messages are sent as real iMessages (blue bubbles) to recipients with iMessage enabled.
How do I send iMessages programmatically?
Sign up for an API key at dashboard.sendblue.com, install our SDK (Node.js, Python, or cURL), and POST to our /send-message endpoint with the recipient's phone number and your content. Messages deliver as real iMessages with blue bubbles.
How much does the Sendblue iMessage API cost?
Free sandbox for testing. AI Agent plan at $100 per line per month for production. Custom Enterprise plans for high-volume senders. All plans include API access, webhooks, and delivery receipts. No per-message fees on the AI Agent plan: you get unlimited messaging on each line.
What programming languages does the API support?
It's a standard REST API, so any language with HTTP support works. Official SDKs for Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript), Python, and cURL. Ruby, Go, Java, PHP, C#, and others integrate via standard HTTP libraries.
What is the difference between an iMessage API and an SMS API?
An iMessage API uses Apple's iMessage protocol (blue bubbles): read receipts, typing indicators, high-quality media, end-to-end encryption. SMS APIs send standard text messages (green bubbles) with limited features, character restrictions, and no encryption. Sendblue auto-detects iMessage availability and falls back to SMS when needed.
Is Sendblue SOC 2 compliant?
Yes, Sendblue is SOC 2 Type II certified. Infrastructure and processes meet rigorous standards for data protection, availability, and confidentiality. Suitable for enterprise applications handling sensitive data, including healthcare (HIPAA-eligible), financial services, and other regulated industries.
