# Create an IP pool



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/specs/email.yaml post /v1/ip-pools
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Basaltic Email API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Customer-facing email sending API — regional. Covers sender-identity

    management + DNS-based verification (ownership + DKIM), the send API,

    suppression lists, templates, configuration sets, and IP pools.


    Each region is independent: an identity verified in `dev` is not verified

    in `sa-saopaulo-1` — the DKIM key + verification token are per-region, and
    the

    customer must re-verify in each region they want to send from.


    Verification flow:
      1. POST /v1/identities {name: example.com}
         → stamps a pending row, provisions a per-identity DKIM signing key,
           and returns the DNS records the customer must publish.
      2. Customer publishes the records at their DNS provider.
      3. POST /v1/identities/{id}/verify
         → server resolves the records, flips status=verified on a match.
           Only verified identities may send.

        Optional client-generated key that makes a create replay-safe. Retrying
        a request with the same key returns the original outcome verbatim
        instead of creating a duplicate resource. Reusing a key with a different
        request body is rejected (422); a request whose key is still being
        processed returns 409. Records are honored for 24 hours. Use a UUID or
        similarly unique token.

        The request is well-formed but cannot be processed as sent. On the
        operations that accept `Idempotency-Key` this is the key-reuse case: the
        key was first seen with a different request payload, so replaying the
        stored outcome would answer a question the caller did not ask.

      description: >
        Request signing with an access key issued to a service account. An

        HMAC-SHA256 over a canonical form of the request, close to AWS SigV4.

        The `basaltic` CLI signs for you.


        Send `Authorization`, `X-Date` (UTC, `YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ`) and `X-Nonce`

        (random per request); add `X-Content-Sha256` to bind a body, and

        `X-Amz-Security-Token` when using temporary credentials.


        ```

        Authorization: BASALTIC-HMAC-SHA256
        Credential=<access_key_id>/<date>/<region>/basaltic/basaltic_request,
        SignedHeaders=host;x-date;x-nonce, Signature=<hex>

        ```


        `<region>` is the region code you are calling, or `global` for the
        global

        services. A signature is valid for 5 minutes from `X-Date`, and mutating

        requests are replay-guarded on the nonce.


        **Full signing procedure, including a working implementation:**

        ## Rate limits

        There is no global request budget. A limit applies only where an

        operation documents a `429`, and that operation says what it counts.

        Those responses carry `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`,

        `X-RateLimit-Reset` and, on a `429`, `Retry-After` — read them rather

        than hard-coding a number. Retrying before `Retry-After` is refused and

        extends the window. Everything else is bounded by quota, not by request

        rate.
