Authentication Required:

All Email API endpoints requests are authenticated using HTTPS Basic Auth. It requires you to provide a username and a password for each API request.

The username is your API Key and the password is your API Secret Key - you can find them in your API Key Management page. Both keys are generated automatically when your account is created.

To send an email, you need the following mandatory properties:

FromEmail: a verified Sender address

Recipients: list with at least one Email address

Text-part and/or Html-part: content of the message sent in text or HTML format. At least one of these content type needs to be specified. When Html-part is the only content provided, Mailjet will not generate a Text-part from the HTML version.

from mailjet_rest import Client
import os

api_key = os.environ['API KEY']
api_secret = os.environ['SECRET KEY']
mailjet = Client(auth=(api_key, api_secret))

data = {
 'FromEmail': 'pilot@mailjet.com',
 'FromName': 'Mailjet Pilot',
 'Subject': 'Your email flight plan!',
 'Text-part': 'Dear passenger, welcome to Mailjet! May the delivery force be with you!',
 'Html-part': '<h3>Dear passenger, welcome to <a href=\"https://www.mailjet.com/\">Mailjet</a>!<br />May the delivery force be with you!',
