SendGrid library for Python
Project description
This library allows you to quickly and easily use the SendGrid Web API v3 via Python.
Version 3.X.X of this library provides full support for all SendGrid Web API v3 endpoints, including the new v3 /mail/send.
This library represents the beginning of a new path for SendGrid. We want this library to be community driven and SendGrid led. We need your help to realize this goal. To help make sure we are building the right things in the right order, we ask that you create issues and pull requests or simply upvote or comment on existing issues or pull requests.
Please browse the rest of this README for further detail.
We appreciate your continued support, thank you!

# Installation
Prerequisites
Python version 2.6, 2.7, 3.4 or 3.5
The SendGrid service, starting at the free level
Setup Environment Variables

echo "sendgrid.env" >> .gitignore
source ./sendgrid.env
Install Package

Dependencies
# Quick Start
Hello Email
The following is the minimum needed code to send an email with the /mail/send Helper (here is a full example):
With Mail Helper Class
import sendgrid
import os
from sendgrid.helpers.mail import *
sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(apikey=os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
from_email = Email("test@example.com")
subject = "Hello World from the SendGrid Python Library!"
to_email = Email("test@example.com")
content = Content("text/plain", "Hello, Email!")
mail = Mail(from_email, subject, to_email, content)
response = sg.client.mail.send.post(request_body=mail.get())
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
The Mail constructor creates a personalization object for you. Here is an example of how to add to it.
Without Mail Helper Class
The following is the minimum needed code to send an email without the /mail/send Helper (here is a full example):
import sendgrid
import os
sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(apikey=os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
data = {
"personalizations": [
{
"to": [
{
"email": "test@example.com"
}
],
"subject": "Hello World from the SendGrid Python Library!"
}
],
"from": {
"email": "test@example.com"
},
"content": [
{
"type": "text/plain",
"value": "Hello, Email!"
}
]
}
response = sg.client.mail.send.post(request_body=data)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
General v3 Web API Usage (With Fluent Interface)
import sendgrid
import os
sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(apikey=os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
response = sg.client.suppression.bounces.get()
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
General v3 Web API Usage (Without Fluent Interface)
import sendgrid
import os
sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(apikey=os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
response = sg.client._("suppression/bounces").get()
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
