Look up status

Status request using the same project key
curl -i 'https://raselmail.com/api/v1/delivery/messages/YOUR_MESSAGE_ID'   -H "Authorization: Bearer $RASEL_API_KEY"

Replace YOUR_MESSAGE_ID with the returned message ID. The response includes id, state, recipient_count, error when present, created_at and updated_at. A project cannot inspect another project’s message.

Request rates

Message creation allows 120 requests per minute per project and 300 per owner account. Status reads allow 300 per minute per project. These are request rates, not purchased sending quota. After a 429, wait before retrying and retain the event’s idempotency key.
