SendGrid-Python

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

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 <[email protected]>')
message.set_subject('Example')
message.set_html('Body')
message.set_text('Body')
message.set_from('Doe John <[email protected]>')
status, msg = sg.send(message)

#or

message = sendgrid.Mail(to='[email protected]', subject='Example', html='Body', text='Body', from_email='[email protected]')
status, msg = sg.send(message)

Error handling

By default, .send method returns a tuple (http_status_code, message), however you can pass raise_errors=True to SendGridClient constructor, then .send method will raise SendGridClientError for 4xx errors, and SendGridServerError for 5xx errors.

from sendgrid import SendGridError, SendGridClientError, SendGridServerError

sg = sendgrid.SendGridClient(username, password, raise_errors=True)

try:
    sg.send(message)
except SendGridClientError:
    ...
except SendGridServerError:
    ...

This behavior is going to be default from version 1.0.0. You are encouraged to set raise_errors to True for forwards compatibility.

SendGridError is a base-class for all SendGrid-related exceptions.

Adding Recipients

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_to('[email protected]')
# or
message.add_to('Example Dude <[email protected]>')
# or
message.add_to(['Example Dude <[email protected]>', '[email protected]'])

Adding BCC Recipients

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_bcc('[email protected]')
# or
message.add_bcc(['Example Dude <[email protected]>', '[email protected]'])

Setting the Subject

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

Set Text or HTML

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('[email protected]')

Set ReplyTo

message.sendgrid.Mail()
message.set_replyto('[email protected]')

Set File Attachments

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_attachment('stuff.txt', './stuff.txt')
# or
message.add_attachment('stuff.txt', open('./stuff.txt', 'rb'))
# or
message.add_attachment_stream('filename', 'somerandomcontentyouwant')
# strings, unicode, or BytesIO streams

Set Content ID's

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_attachment('image.png', open('./image.png', 'rb'))
message.add_content_id('image.png', 'ID_IN_HTML')
message.set_html('<html><body>TEXT BEFORE IMAGE<img src="cid:ID_IN_HTML"></img>AFTER IMAGE</body></html>')

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.

message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_substitution("key", "value")
message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_section("section", "value")
message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_category("category")
message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_unique_arg("key", "value")
message = sendgrid.Mail()
message.add_filter("filter", "setting", "value")
