API to create aliases?

[AquiGorka]

Hello there, I'm looking at simple login and it looks solid, I would like to be able to create aliases programmatically and for this I was looking for such an API. Could you point me in the right direction?

Hey SimpleLogin API doc is at https://github.com/simple-login/app#api. The endpoints are currently used by browser extensions and (work-in-progress) mobile apps.

To create aliases, you can use this endpoint
POST /api/alias/custom/new for custom alias or POST /api/alias/random/new for random alias.

Btw what scenario do you want to create?

Hey @nguyenkims thanks for the quick reply, I'm looking at being able to create aliases programmatically and give them to end-users from within my own app.

Come to think about it, I have another question @nguyenkims: is there a way to link an alias to a webhook? Meaning, any incoming email to the alias triggers a request to the webhook with the email data as payload?

@nguyenkims for a whole overview:
We're building an email automation service, where we want to be able to give our users:

• as many aliases as possible
• send/receive from those aliases
  We'd need to be able to create/read/update/delete aliases via the API, as well as get the whole email payload (subject, to, body, attachments).
  Is this something you already have or are interested in developing?

@leshokunin @AquiGorka sounds interesting, feel free to drop me an email at partner@simplelogin.io so we can discuss more in details!

@leshokunin @AquiGorka should I close this issue?

@nguyenkims thanks for the info, I have a follow-up question: is there an API to programmatically create new namespaces for aliases?
eg -> @namespace.mydomain.com

[nguyenkims]

@AquiGorka We don't have an api to create namespace/directory yet. This endpoint is in our todo list as it's necessary for our browser extension or mobile apps.

@AquiGorka should I close this issue?

[AquiGorka]

Yes, thank you very much for all the follow-up.
