sendgrid-async 2.1.2

SendGrid using an httpx client

Async SendGrid

A modern, asynchronous SendGrid client built on top of httpx. This library provides a simple and efficient way to send emails using SendGrid's API with Python's async/await syntax.

Features

• 🚀 Asynchronous API client for SendGrid
• 🔄 Connection pooling for better performance
• 📊 OpenTelemetry integration for monitoring
• 🔍 Detailed error tracking and tracing
• 🛠️ Customizable configuration
• 📝 Comprehensive documentation

Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install sendgrid-async

Quick Start

from async_sendgrid import SendgridAPI
from sendgrid.helpers.mail import Mail

# Initialize the client
sendgrid = SendgridAPI(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# Create and send an email
email = Mail(
    from_email="[e-mail]",
    to_emails="[e-mail]",
    subject="Hello World",
    plain_text_content="Hello World!",
)

response = await sendgrid.send(email)

Advanced Features

Connection Pooling

Optimize performance with connection pooling:

from async_sendgrid import SendgridAPI
from async_sendgrid.pool import ConnectionPool

pool = ConnectionPool(
    max_connections=20,
    max_keepalive_connections=10,
    keepalive_expiry=10.0,
)

sendgrid = SendgridAPI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    pool=pool,
)

Send emails on behalf of another user

Send emails on behalf of subusers:

sendgrid = SendgridAPI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    on_behalf_of="John Smith",
)

Custom Endpoints

Use custom API endpoints:

sendgrid = SendgridAPI(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
    endpoint="https://custom.endpoint.com/v3/mail/send",
)

Telemetry Integration

Monitor and trace your SendGrid operations with OpenTelemetry:

Setup

from opentelemetry import trace
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace import TracerProvider
from opentelemetry.sdk.trace.export import BatchSpanProcessor
from opentelemetry.exporter.otlp.proto.grpc.trace_exporter import OTLPSpanExporter

# Configure OpenTelemetry
tracer_provider = TracerProvider()
trace.set_tracer_provider(tracer_provider)

# Add your exporter
otlp_exporter = OTLPSpanExporter()
span_processor = BatchSpanProcessor(otlp_exporter)
tracer_provider.add_span_processor(span_processor)

Available Metrics

The library automatically tracks:

HTTP Metrics

• Status codes
• Response sizes
• URLs
• Methods

SendGrid Metrics

• Number of recipients
• Attachment presence
• Email content type

Configuration

Control telemetry behavior with environment variables:

# Disable telemetry
SENDGRID_TELEMETRY_IS_ENABLED=false

# Custom span name
SENDGRID_TELEMETRY_SPAN_NAME=custom.span.name

Error Handling

Robust error handling for API operations:

try:
    response = await sendgrid.send(email)
except Exception as e:
    # Handle the error
    print(f"Error sending email: {e}")
