- For email, you will need a Twilio SendGrid account, starting at the free level
- For SMS messages, you will need a free Twilio account
Update the development environment with your SENDGRID_API_KEY (more info here), for example:
echo "export SENDGRID_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'" > sendgrid.env
echo "sendgrid.env" >> .gitignore
source ./sendgrid.env
Twilio SendGrid also supports local environment file .env
.
Copy or rename .env_sample
into .env
and update SENDGRID_API_KEY with your key.
Temporarily set the environment variable (accessible only during the current CLI session):
set SENDGRID_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY
Permanently set the environment variable (accessible in all subsequent CLI sessions):
setx SENDGRID_API_KEY "YOUR_API_KEY"
pip install sendgrid
The following is the minimum needed code to send an email with the /mail/send Helper (here is a full example):
import os
from sendgrid import SendGridAPIClient
from sendgrid.helpers.mail import Mail
message = Mail(
from_email='[email protected]',
to_emails='[email protected]',
subject='Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun',
html_content='<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with Python</strong>')
try:
sg = SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
response = sg.send(message)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
except Exception as e:
print(e.message)
The Mail
constructor creates a personalization object for you.
Here is an example of how to add it.
The following is the minimum needed code to send an email without the /mail/send Helper (here is a full example):
import os
from sendgrid import SendGridAPIClient
message = {
'personalizations': [
{
'to': [
{
'email': '[email protected]'
}
],
'subject': 'Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun'
}
],
'from': {
'email': '[email protected]'
},
'content': [
{
'type': 'text/plain',
'value': 'and easy to do anywhere, even with Python'
}
]
}
try:
sg = SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
response = sg.send(message)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
except Exception as e:
print(e.message)
General v3 Web API Usage (With Fluent Interface)
import os
from sendgrid import SendGridAPIClient
sg = SendGridAPIClient(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 os
from sendgrid import SendGridAPIClient
sg = SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
response = sg.client._('suppression/bounces').get()
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
