SendGrid-Python
===============

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

.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/sendgrid/sendgrid-python.svg?branch=master
    :target: https://travis-ci.org/sendgrid/sendgrid-python

Warning
-------

If you upgrade to version ``1.2.x``, the ``add_to`` method behaves differently. In the past this method defaulted to using the ``SMTPAPI`` header. Now you must explicitly call the ``smtpapi.add_to`` method. More on the ``SMTPAPI`` section.

Announcements
-------------

For users of our `Web API v3 endpoints`_, we have begun integrating v3 endpoints into this library. As part of this process we have implemented a test automation tool, TOX_. We are also updating and enhancing the core library code.

In no particular order, we have implemented a `few of the v3`_ endpoints already and would appreciate your feedback.

Thank you for your continued support! 

Install
-------

.. code:: python

    pip install sendgrid
    # or
    easy_install sendgrid

Example
-------

.. code:: python

    import sendgrid

    sg = sendgrid.SendGridClient('YOUR_SENDGRID_API_KEY')

    message = sendgrid.Mail()
    message.add_to('John Doe <john@email.com>')
    message.set_subject('Example')
    message.set_html('Body')
    message.set_text('Body')
    message.set_from('Doe John <doe@email.com>')
    status, msg = sg.send(message)

    #or

    message = sendgrid.Mail(to='john@email.com', subject='Example', html='Body', text='Body', from_email='doe@email.com')
    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.

.. code:: python

    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 2.0.0. You are
encouraged to set ``raise_errors`` to ``True`` for forwards compatibility.

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

Usage
~~~~~

To begin using this library create a new instance of `SendGridClient` with your SendGrid credentials or a SendGrid API Key. API Key is the preferred method. API Keys are in beta. To configure API keys, visit https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/api_keys.

.. code:: python

    sg = sendgrid.SendGridClient('sendgrid_username', 'sendgrid_password')
    # or
    sg = sendgrid.SendGridClient('sendgrid_apikey')

WEB API v3
----------

.. _APIKeysAnchor:

`APIKeys`_
~~~~~~~~~~

List all API Keys belonging to the authenticated user.

.. code:: python
    
    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
    status, msg = client.apikeys.get()
    
Generate a new API Key for the authenticated user

.. code:: python

    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
    name = "My Amazing API Key"
    status, msg = client.apikeys.post(name)
    
Revoke an existing API Key

.. code:: python

    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
    status, msg = client.apikeys.delete(api_key_id)
    
Update the name of an existing API Key

.. code:: python

    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
    name = "My NEW API Key 3000"
    status, msg = client.apikeys.patch(api_key_id, name)
    
`Suppression Management`_
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unsubscribe Manager gives your recipients more control over the types of emails they want to receive by letting them opt out of messages from a certain type of email.

Unsubscribe Groups
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Retrieve all suppression groups associated with the user.

.. code:: python
    
    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
    status, msg = client.asm_groups.get()

Get a single record.

.. code:: python

    status, msg = client.asm_groups.get(record_id)
    
Create a new suppression group.

.. code:: python

    status, msg = client.asm_groups.post(name, description, is_default)
    
Suppressions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suppressions are email addresses that can be added to groups to prevent certain types of emails from being delivered to those addresses.

Add recipient addresses to the suppressions list for a given group.

.. code:: python
    
    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
    group_id = <group_id_number> # If no group_id_number, the emails will be added to the global suppression group
    emails = ['example@example.com', 'example@example.com']
    status, msg = client.asm_suppressions.post(group_id, emails)

Get suppressed addresses for a given group.

.. code:: python

    status, msg = client.asm_suppressions.get(<group_id>)
    
Delete a recipient email from the suppressions list for a group.

.. code:: python

    status, msg = client.asm_suppressions.delete(<group_id>,<email_address>)

Global Suppressions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Global Suppressions are email addresses that will not receive any emails.

Check if a given email is on the global suppression list.

.. code:: python
    
    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
    email = ['example@example.com']
    status, msg = client.asm_global_suppressions.get(email)
    
Get a list of all SendGrid globally unsubscribed emails.

.. code:: python
    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
    status, msg = client.suppressions.get()
    
Add an email to the global suppression list.

.. code:: python
    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
    email = ['example@example.com']
    status, msg = client.asm_global_suppressions.post(email)
    
Delete an email from the global suppression list.

.. code:: python
    client = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient('SENDGRID_API_KEY')
    email = 'example@example.com'
    status, msg = client.asm_global_suppressions.delete(email)

`Global Stats`_
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Global Stats provide all of your user's email statistics for a given date range.

.. code:: python
    start_date = '2015-10-01' # required
    end_date = None # optional
    aggregated_by = 'week' # optional, must be day, week or month
    status, msg = client.stats.get(start_date, end_date, aggregated_by)

SendGrid's `X-SMTPAPI`_

    message.set_subject('Testing from the Python library using the SMTPAPI')
    message.set_html('<b>:first_name, this was a successful test of using the SMTPAPI library!</b>')
    message.set_text(':name, this was a successful test of using the SMTPAPI library!')
