SendGrid library for Python

Project description

This library allows you to quickly and easily send emails through SendGrid using Python.

Warning! This library was recently updated to bring it up to date with all of our other libraries. It behaves completely different from the previous release. Also, SMTP has been deprecated in support for the Web API.

Install

pip install sendgrid
# or
easy_install sendgrid

Example

import sendgrid

sg = sendgrid.SendGridClient('YOUR_SENDGRID_USERNAME', 'YOUR_SENDGRID_PASSWORD')

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_to('John Doe <john@email.com>')
message.set_subject('Example')
message.set_html('Body')
message.set_text('Body')
message.set_from('Doe John <doe@email.com>')
status, msg = sg.send(message)

#or

message = sendgrid.Mail(to='john@email.com', subject='Example', html='Body', text='Body', from_email='doe@email.com')
status, msg = sg.send(message)

Adding Recipients

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_to('example@email.com')
# or
message.add_to('Example Dude <example@email.com>')
# or
message.add_to(['Example Dude <example@email.com>', 'john@email.com'])

Adding BCC Recipients

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_bcc('example@email.com')
# or
message.add_bcc(['Example Dude <example@email.com>', 'john@email.com'])

Setting the Subject

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.set_subject('Example')

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.set_text('Body')
# or
message.set_html('<html><body>Stuff, you know?</body></html>')

Set From

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.set_from('example@email.com')

Set ReplyTo

message.sendgrid.Mail()
message.set_replyto('example@email.com')

Set File Attachments

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_attachment('./stuff.txt')
# or
message.add_attachment_stream('filename', 'somerandomcontentyouwant')

SendGrid’s X-SMTPAPI

If you wish to use the X-SMTPAPI on your own app, you can use the SMTPAPI Python library.

There are implementations for setter methods too.

Substitution

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_substitution("key", "value")

Section

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_section("section", "value")

Category

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_category("category")

Unique Arguments

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_unique_arg("key", "value")

Filter

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_filter("filter", "setting", "value")

TODO:

  • Add support for CID
