      The Buttondown API is a RESTful HTTP API that enables programmatic management of newsletters, subscribers, emails,
      drafts, tags, automations, surveys, and webhooks. Authentication is via API keys issued in the Buttondown
      dashboard, and the API powers both first-party and third-party tooling on the platform.
