# VBOUT

> VBOUT is an AI-enabled marketing automation platform (email marketing, social media scheduling, landing pages, popups, lead management, and an AI chatbot) whose REST API at https://api.vbout.com/1 gives programmatic access to contacts, lists, campaigns, social posts, goals, sub-users, and account settings. Authentication is a single account API key (`key` parameter); responses are JSON or XML inside a `response.header`/`response.data` envelope; rate limit is 15 requests per second signaled via `x-rate-limit-*` headers.

No provider-published /llms.txt was found on vbout.com or developers.vbout.com (404, checked 2026-07-21); this file was generated by API Evangelist from the provider's published artifacts.
