npm NPM Snyk Vulnerabilities for npm package Website Website

Install

npm i mailcow-api

Basic Example

(async () => {
    //get global variables
    require('dotenv').config();
    
    //import the api client module
    const {
        MailcowApiClient
    } = require("mailcow-api")

    //create new mailcow api client with endpoint/baseurl and the api key
    const mcc = new MailcowApiClient(process.env.MAILCOW_API_BASEURL, process.env.MAILCOW_API_KEY);

    //get all domain on mailcow server
    console.log(await mcc.getDomain());
})();

What is dotenv?

The line "require('dotenv').config();" gets the contents of a file called ".env" in which you should store your global and secret variables.

1. Install the module "dotenv" with

npm i dotenv

2. Create a file named ".env" in your applications root directory

.env

MAILCOW_API_KEY='YOUR MAILCOW API KEY'
MAILCOW_API_BASEURL='https://mail.example.com' //no trailing slashes

3. Use your secret variables

process.env.MAILCOW_API_BASEURL
process.env.MAILCOW_API_KEY

Where to get the API key?

1. Open your mailcow UI and login as admin

1.1 Are you using two factor authentication for your admin account?

If not: Do it now! It's easy! For Android you can use the andOTP app. andOTP can be used for 2FA with many services and is way better then the Google Authenticator app.

2. Scroll to and expand the API section

3. Insert the IP you want to accesss the API from or disable the API check

4. Tick the checkbox "Activate API" and save the settings

5. Copy your API key from the field above
