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

import com.sendgrid.*;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    Email from = new Email("[email protected]");
    String subject = "Sending with Twilio SendGrid is Fun";
    Email to = new Email("[email protected]");
    Content content = new Content("text/plain", "and easy to do anywhere, even with Java");
    Mail mail = new Mail(from, subject, to, content);

    SendGrid sg = new SendGrid(System.getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"));
    Request request = new Request();
    try {
      request.setMethod(Method.POST);
      request.setEndpoint("mail/send");
      request.setBody(mail.build());
      Response response = sg.api(request);
      System.out.println(response.getStatusCode());
      System.out.println(response.getBody());
      System.out.println(response.getHeaders());
    } catch (IOException ex) {
      throw ex;
    }
  }
}

The Mail 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):

import com.sendgrid.*;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    try {
      SendGrid sg = new SendGrid(System.getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"));
      Request request = new Request();
      request.setMethod(Method.POST);
      request.setEndpoint("mail/send");
      request.setBody("{\"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 Java\"}]}");
      Response response = sg.api(request);
      System.out.println(response.getStatusCode());
      System.out.println(response.getBody());
      System.out.println(response.getHeaders());
    } catch (IOException ex) {
      throw ex;
    }
  }
}

General v3 Web API Usage

import com.sendgrid.*;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Example {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    SendGrid sg = new SendGrid(System.getenv("SENDGRID_API_KEY"));
    try {
      Request request = new Request();
      request.setMethod(Method.GET);
      request.setEndpoint("api_keys");
      Response response = sg.api(request);
      System.out.println(response.getStatusCode());
      System.out.println(response.getBody());
      System.out.println(response.getHeaders());
    } catch (IOException ex) {
