Quickstart

Create a disposable inbox and receive your first email in under 2 minutes. Choose your path: API, CLI, or browser.

API

Best for agents, automation, and CI pipelines.

1. Get a session token (no signup required)

curl -X POST https://api.useblip.email/v1/sessions

{"token": "abc-123", "session": {...}}

2. Create an inbox

curl -X POST https://api.useblip.email/v1/inboxes \

-H "Authorization: Bearer abc-123"

{"inbox": {"id": "...", "address": "swift-fox-42@bl1p.dev"}}

3. Send an email to that address, then check for it

curl https://api.useblip.email/v1/inboxes/{id} \

-H "Authorization: Bearer abc-123"

{"inbox": {...}, "emails": [{"subject": "Welcome!", ...}]}

For production agent use, get an API key instead of a session token. API keys don't expire and support high-volume workflows. See the AI Agents guide.

CLI

Best for developers working in the terminal.

# Install

brew install bmcreations/tap/blip

# Create an inbox

blip create

✓ Inbox created: swift-fox-42@bl1p.dev

# Watch for emails in real-time

blip inbox swift-fox-42@bl1p.dev --watch

● New email from verify@example.com

Browser

Best for quick one-off inboxes.

Visit app.useblip.email, click + New Inbox, and start receiving emails immediately. No signup required for the free tier.
