  title: Political Comms API
  summary: >-
    Direct-to-carrier political texting API for campaigns, PACs, advocacy
    organizations, fundraisers, and elected officials.
  description: >-
    Public REST API for the Political Comms platform. Surfaces include Projects
    (compose, test, schedule, send), Conversations (read inbound threads and
    reply inside them), Contact Lists (S3 import and analysis), Media Files,
    Organizations and hierarchy, Brands, Campaigns, Tracking Domains, Phone
    Numbers, Analytics, and Billing.


    Authentication is an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` header. Keys are
    generated from the dashboard at Admin → API and are prefixed `pc_live_`. All
    POST and PATCH endpoints that mutate state are designed to be safe to retry,
    with optional `Idempotency-Key` headers for stronger guarantees. Rate limit
    is 600 requests per minute per key (bursts up to 600, refilling at 10 per
    second, the same for every scope; the `X-RateLimit-Limit` header reports
    your key's exact limit, and `Retry-After` on a 429 is the seconds until your
    next request is allowed).


    Webhooks emit `message.sent`, `message.delivered`, `message.failed`,
    `message.replied`, and `link.clicked` events. Payloads are HMAC-signed;
    validate the signature before trusting any payload.


    A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is available at
    https://docs.politicalcomms.com/mcp for AI agents that need to search the
    documentation programmatically. The developer hub at
    https://politicalcomms.com/developers/ has quickstart examples in cURL, raw
    HTTP, and Python.

tags:
  - name: Projects
    description: Create, edit, test, schedule, and inspect projects.
  - name: Conversations
    description: >-
      Read inbound threads and reply inside them from the same number.
      Conversations are created by project sends; the API never starts one.
  - name: Phone Numbers
    description: List phone numbers across 10DLC campaigns and toll-free verifications.
  - name: Toll-Free Verifications
    description: >-
      List toll-free verifications (carrier registrations) across your
      organization hierarchy.
  - name: Brands
    description: List brands across your organization hierarchy.
  - name: 10DLC Campaigns
    description: >-
      List 10DLC campaigns (carrier registrations) across your organization
      hierarchy.
  - name: Email Campaigns
    description: >-
      Create, schedule, and report on email campaigns. Pause, resume, and test
      sends are deliverability decisions a human makes while watching a send,
      and live in the dashboard.
  - name: Email Templates
    description: Create and read saved email templates.
  - name: Email Senders
    description: >-
      Read the sender identities (From addresses) on your verified domains.
      Identities carry the physical mailing address and paid-for-by disclaimer,
      so they are created and edited in the dashboard.
  - name: Email Suppressions
    description: >-
      Read, add, and lift suppressions in bulk. This is the primitive for
      keeping your own opt-out record in sync with ours.
  - name: Contact Lists
    description: List, import, and analyze contact lists.
  - name: Email Lists
    description: >-
      Create email lists, read their contacts, and bulk-upsert or import
      addresses. To stop mailing someone use Email Suppressions, which survives
      a re-import.
  - name: Media Files
    description: List, import, and fetch media files.
  - name: Sending Domains
    description: >-
      Read the sending domains in your organization and the DNS records to
      publish. Domains are added in the dashboard: DNS is published by hand, so
      creation is not part of the API.
  - name: Tracking Domains
    description: >-
      List active link-tracking domains. Use the returned ids as
      `link_tracking_domain_id` on project create/update.
  - name: Organizations
    description: List descendant organizations and hierarchy.
  - name: Billing
