      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.
