NEW: Subscribe to email notifications for releases and breaking changes.

This library allows you to quickly and easily use the Twilio SendGrid Web API v3 via Go.

Version 3.X.X of this library provides full support for all Twilio SendGrid Web API v3 endpoints, including the new v3 /mail/send.

This library represents the beginning of a new path for Twilio SendGrid. We want this library to be community driven and Twilio 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

• Go version 1.7
• The Twilio SendGrid service, starting at the free level, to send up to 40,000 emails for the first 30 days, then send 100 emails/day free forever or check out our pricing.

Setup Environment Variables

Update the development environment with your SENDGRID_API_KEY, for example:

echo "export SENDGRID_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'" > sendgrid.env
echo "sendgrid.env" >> .gitignore
source ./sendgrid.env

Install Package

go get github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go

Setup Environment Variables

Initial Setup

cp .env_sample .env

Environment Variable

Update the development environment with your SENDGRID_API_KEY, for example:

echo "export SENDGRID_API_KEY='YOUR_API_KEY'" > sendgrid.env
echo "sendgrid.env" >> .gitignore
source ./sendgrid.env

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

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", "test@example.com")
	subject := "Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun"
	to := mail.NewEmail("Example User", "test@example.com")
	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 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):

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": "test@example.com"
				}
			],
			"subject": "Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun"
		}
	],
	"from": {
		"email": "test@example.com"
	},
	"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)
	}
}

Constants

const (
	Version = "3.5.1"
)

Version is this client library's current version

Variables

var DefaultClient = rest.DefaultClient

DefaultClient is used if no custom HTTP client is defined

Functions

func API

func API(request rest.Request) (*rest.Response, error)

API sets up the request to the Twilio SendGrid API, this is main interface. Please use the MakeRequest or MakeRequestAsync functions instead. (deprecated)

func GetRequest

func GetRequest(key, endpoint, host string) rest.Request

GetRequest @return [Request] a default request object

func GetRequestSubuser

func GetRequestSubuser(key, endpoint, host, subuser string) rest.Request

GetRequestSubuser like GetRequest but with On-Behalf of Subuser @return [Request] a default request object

func MakeRequest

func MakeRequest(request rest.Request) (*rest.Response, error)

MakeRequest attempts a Twilio SendGrid request synchronously.

func MakeRequestAsync

func MakeRequestAsync(request rest.Request) (chan *rest.Response, chan error)

MakeRequestAsync attempts a request asynchronously in a new go routine. This function returns two channels: responses and errors. This function will retry in the case of a rate limit.

func MakeRequestRetry

func MakeRequestRetry(request rest.Request) (*rest.Response, error)

MakeRequestRetry a synchronous request, but retry in the event of a rate limited response.

Types

type Client

type Client struct {
	// rest.Request
	rest.Request
}

Client is the Twilio SendGrid Go client

func NewSendClient

func NewSendClient(key string) *Client

NewSendClient constructs a new Twilio SendGrid client given an API key

func NewSendClientSubuser

func NewSendClientSubuser(key, subuser string) *Client

GetRequestSubuser like NewSendClient but with On-Behalf of Subuser @return Client

func (*Client) Send

func (cl *Client) Send(email *mail.SGMailV3) (*rest.Response, error)

Send sends an email through Twilio SendGrid
