Documentation

This documentation is for developers who want to integrate the GOV.UK Notify API with a web application or back office system.

Clients

Links to documentation open in a new tab.

A developer should be able to set up the API client and start sending test messages in around 30 minutes. A full integration might take a couple of days.

Integrating directly with the API

You can integrate directly with the Notify API. Reading the client documentation will help you to do this.

To send a message you'll need to create an HTTPS request and add an authorisation header with your API key. The API key is encoded with JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
