# List sent and received email

`GET /emails`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://sendhq.cc/api/v1`
- URL: `https://sendhq.cc/api/v1/emails`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/sendhq/apis/sendhq-api/docs/emails/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Newest-first list with filters. `query` searches subjects, bodies, participants, and attachment filenames. `label`, `domain`, and `category` accept one value or a comma-separated list (matches any); labels may be IDs or names. `archived=false` returns the Inbox view for received mail. Received mail is classified as `primary`, `updates` (newsletters, bulk, and automated mail), or `spam`, and flagged `important`; spam is excluded unless `category=spam` or `include_spam=true`.
