Quick Start

Hello Email

The following is the minimum needed code to send an email with the [/mail/send Helper](helpers/mail) ([here](examples/helpers/mail/example.go#L32) is a full example):

With Mail Helper Class

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "os"

    "github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go"
    "github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go/helpers/mail"
)

func main() {
    from := mail.NewEmail("Example User", "[email protected]")
    subject := "Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun"
    to := mail.NewEmail("Example User", "[email protected]")
    plainTextContent := "and easy to do anywhere, even with Go"
    htmlContent := "<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with Go</strong>"
    message := mail.NewSingleEmail(from, subject, to, plainTextContent, htmlContent)
    client := sendgrid.NewSendClient(os.Getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"))
    response, err := client.Send(message)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println(response.StatusCode)
        fmt.Println(response.Body)
        fmt.Println(response.Headers)
    }
}

The NewEmail constructor creates a personalization object for you. [Here](examples/helpers/mail/example.go#L28) 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](examples/mail/mail.go#L47) is a full example):

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go"
    "log"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    request := sendgrid.GetRequest(os.Getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"), "/v3/mail/send", "https://api.sendgrid.com")
    request.Method = "POST"
    request.Body = []byte(` {
    "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 Go"
        }
    ]
}`)
    response, err := sendgrid.API(request)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println(response.StatusCode)
        fmt.Println(response.Body)
        fmt.Println(response.Headers)
    }
}

General v3 Web API Usage

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go"
    "log"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    request := sendgrid.GetRequest(os.Getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"), "/v3/api_keys", "https://api.sendgrid.com")
    request.Method = "GET"

    response, err := sendgrid.API(request)
    if err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println(response.StatusCode)
        fmt.Println(response.Body)
        fmt.Println(response.Headers)
