Query list of unsubscribed email addresses

get

/email/unsubscribes

Use this endpoint to return the latest emails that have unsubscribed during the time period from start_date to end_date. For a full subscription state history, use Currents to track this data.

You can use this endpoint to set up a bi-directional sync between Braze and other email systems or your own database.

Prerequisites

To use this endpoint, you’ll need an API key with the email.unsubscribe permission.

Rate limit

We apply the default Braze rate limit of 250,000 requests per hour to this endpoint, as documented in API rate limits.

Request parameters

Parameter Required Data Type Description
start_date Optional
(see note)
String in YYYY-MM-DD format Start date of the range to retrieve unsubscribes, must be earlier than end_date. This is treated as midnight in UTC time by the API.
end_date Optional
(see note)
String in YYYY-MM-DD format End date of the range to retrieve unsubscribes. This is treated as midnight in UTC time by the API.
limit Optional Integer Optional field to limit the number of results returned. Defaults to 100, maximum is 500.
offset Optional Integer Optional beginning point in the list to retrieve from.
sort_direction Optional String Pass in the value asc to sort unsubscribes from oldest to newest. Pass in desc to sort from newest to oldest. If sort_direction is not included, the default order is newest to oldest.
email Optional
(see note)
String If provided, we will return whether or not the user has unsubscribed.

If your date range has more than limit number of unsubscribes, you will need to make multiple API calls, each time increasing the offset until a call returns either fewer than limit or zero results.
