About & usage policy · InboxFlick Docs

What is free

Creating, selecting, extending and deleting temporary inboxes; listing, reading and deleting messages; domain discovery; and live receive notifications. No account, subscription or API key is required. Fair-use limits apply equally to scripts and website clients. This is the InboxFlick API, with its own paths, cookie authentication and response envelope. It is not a drop-in replacement for Mail.tm accounts or bearer tokens.

Acceptable use

Use the API for authorized development tests and short-lived tasks. Commercial application integration is allowed within the same free limits. Do not use it for spam, fraud, harassment, unauthorized account creation, evading platform restrictions, or collecting other people’s mail. Do not bypass quotas through IP rotation, resell shared access as guaranteed capacity, or present this shared service as an SLA-backed private deployment. We may limit abusive traffic. Follow the main InboxFlick terms and privacy notice.

Privacy and retention

Inboxes start at 10 minutes and can be extended before expiry up to 60 minutes from creation. Expiry or manual destruction revokes access and starts cleanup. No permanent storage, recovery or guaranteed third-party delivery is offered. Avoid banking, medical, work, or other important accounts. Only a hash of the possession credential is stored server-side. Keep your local cookies private. The API does not support SMS, outbound mail, forwarding or permanent accounts in this free flow.

Availability and support

This is a free shared service with no SLA. Limits, domains and availability may change. Check error.code, respect retry guidance and use a permanent address where continuity matters. For support, use the contact address on the InboxFlick website and include only the request_id, time and non-sensitive reproduction steps. Never share session cookies or private message bodies.
