About
MailerLite's REST API covers subscribers, campaigns, automations, forms, and segments. You create a token in your account and call a clean, well-documented API. The free plan has shrunk over time, so check the current subscriber and send limits on their pricing page, but API access itself is available without paying. A solid pick for newsletter signup flows and drip campaigns.
