View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for beehiiv API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for beehiiv API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. beehiiv is a newsletter and creator-monetisation platform that publishers use to send email newsletters, manage paid tiers, run referral programmes, and serve advertisements. The 67-endpoint API is publication-scoped and exposes operations across subscriptions, posts, segments, custom fields, tiers, webhooks, automations, polls, and bulk subscription updates, secured by a bearer API key issued from the publication settings.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use beehiiv API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Subscriber acquisition and CRM sync

Newsletter operators sync subscribers into beehiiv from website forms, lead magnets, and CRM exports so the audience of record stays in beehiiv. POST /publications/{publicationId}/subscriptions adds individuals, POST /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscriptions handles list imports, and the bulk_subscription_updates endpoints expose job status so the integration knows when an import has completed.

Add subscriber jane@example.com to publication pub_123 with custom field source set to landing_page_a and tag launch_2026

Audience segmentation for targeted sends

Operators segment their list using custom fields and behavioural signals so each post is sent to the readers most likely to engage. The /custom_fields and /condition_sets endpoints let an integration define attributes and rule sets, and /segments expose saved segments referenced when scheduling a post. This drives both engagement and reduced unsubscribe rates.

Create a custom field signup_source on publication pub_123 and build a segment of subscribers where signup_source equals podcast for a targeted promo send

Paid tiers and revenue reporting

Creators monetise through paid tiers on beehiiv and need revenue and tier-membership data for finance reporting. The /tiers endpoints expose tier configuration and per-subscription tier history, so an integration can build a monthly recurring revenue snapshot or detect downgrade and churn events for save-flow automations.

List all active paid subscriptions on publication pub_123, group by tier, and calculate the implied monthly recurring revenue

AI agent integration for creator operations

Independent creators and small newsletter teams use AI agents through Jentic to handle the long tail of operational tasks: tagging new subscribers, exporting weekly engagement reports, and setting up automation journeys for new signups. The agent searches Jentic for the right beehiiv operation, loads the schema, and executes with the bearer API key held in the Jentic vault, so the key never appears in agent context.

Through Jentic, find beehiiv's segments operation and produce a weekly report of subscriber growth, segmented by signup source, for publication pub_123

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The beehiiv bearer API key is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Jentic injects the Authorization header at execution time so the key never enters agent context, and a key rotation in beehiiv settings updates the vault entry centrally.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. add a newsletter subscriber or create an audience segment) and Jentic returns the matching beehiiv operation with its input schema, so the agent calls /publications/{publicationId}/subscriptions or /publications/{publicationId}/segments without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct beehiiv integration: 1-3 days to wire publication scoping, custom fields, and bulk-import job polling. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Mailchimp

Email marketing platform with broader e-commerce and SMS capabilities than beehiiv's newsletter focus.

Choose Mailchimp when the agent needs e-commerce automation flows, SMS, or multi-channel marketing rather than beehiiv's creator-newsletter monetisation model.

Alternative

MailerLite

Affordable email marketing platform with strong drag-and-drop tooling.

Choose MailerLite when the agent prioritises low-cost email marketing for small businesses rather than beehiiv's creator-monetisation tooling.

Complementary

Ghost

Self-hostable publishing CMS commonly paired with newsletter delivery.

Use Ghost alongside beehiiv when the agent maintains a website CMS for long-form content and uses beehiiv for newsletter distribution and monetisation.

FAQs

Specific to using beehiiv API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for beehiiv API?

beehiiv does not publish a downloadable OpenAPI specification alongside its developer docs. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call beehiiv API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the beehiiv API use?

beehiiv uses HTTP bearer authentication. Generate an API key from your publication's API integrations settings and pass it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Jentic stores the key in its vault and injects the header at execution time so it never enters agent context.

Can I bulk import subscribers with the beehiiv API?

Yes. POST /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscriptions accepts a list payload and returns a job ID. Read /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscription_updates and /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscription_updates/{id} to track progress until the job completes.

How do I segment my audience through Jentic?

Search Jentic for create a beehiiv audience segment to find the segments and condition_sets endpoints. Load the schema and execute with your custom_field IDs and condition rules. Segments referenced when scheduling a post will narrow the recipient list to the matching subscribers.

Does the beehiiv API expose paid tier and revenue data?

Yes. /publications/{publicationId}/tiers lists configured tiers, and the subscriptions endpoints include tier membership per subscriber. Combine these to compute MRR, churn, and tier-distribution snapshots without exporting CSVs.

Can I register webhooks for subscription events?

Yes. POST /publications/{publicationId}/webhooks registers a webhook URL and event filter. The supported events cover subscription lifecycle changes and post events; consult the response schema to choose the events your integration cares about.

What are the rate limits for the beehiiv API?

beehiiv enforces per-publication rate limits described in its developer docs rather than in the OpenAPI spec. If you receive HTTP 429 responses, back off and retry with exponential delay, and contact beehiiv support if a sustained sync needs higher headroom.
