Suppressions

POST

Suppresses an address in the API key's environment: later sends skip it, either for every email (scope: "*", the default) or only for emails with the given category (e.g. to back an unsubscribe link). Adding an address that is already suppressed with the same scope returns the existing entry with status 200.
