GetResponse API

Email Marketing / Marketing Automation / Webinars · getresponse.com

GetResponse runs a self-serve REST v3 API: generate a key in account settings or use OAuth 2.0 for third-party apps, with webhooks for subscribe, open, and click events. Mind the quirks: unused keys expire silently after 90 days and rate limits only surface as production 429s.

ExistenceGOODREST v3 API at apidocs.getresponse.com spanning contacts, campaigns, automations, ecommerce, and transactional email.
AccessGOODFully self-serve: an API key from account settings, or OAuth 2.0 registration for third-party apps.
CoverageGOODv3 API covers contacts, campaigns, automations, ecommerce, webinars, transactional email, statistics, and webhook events.
AuthGOODTwo real mechanisms: per-account API keys (X-Auth-Token) and OAuth 2.0 with refresh tokens.
Docs & DXPOORDocs omit rate limits, auth error 1014 is barely disambiguated, and strict webhook ack rules go undocumented.
StabilityMIXEDUnused API keys expire silently after 90 days and OAuth access tokens last 24 hours; long-running syncs need care.
MCPNONEGetResponse has not published an official MCP server and its API documentation does not mention MCP. Only a single low activity community project was found, with no registry presence. VERIFIED 2026-08
Supergood turns hard-to-integrate enterprise software into clean REST APIs and MCP tools: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
