description SendGrid API Overview

A highly reliable and developer-focused API for sending transactional and marketing emails at scale.

help SendGrid API FAQ

What can developers send through the SendGrid API?

The API supports transactional messages such as account verification, password resets, receipts, and notifications. SendGrid also provides tools for marketing mail, templates, suppression lists, and delivery reporting.

Does the SendGrid API report bounces and complaints?

Yes, SendGrid exposes delivery events such as delivered, bounced, blocked, and spam-report activity through its event tools. Developers can use those events to stop sending to invalid or complaining recipients.

How is SendGrid authentication handled?

Applications commonly authenticate with an API key stored on the server rather than exposing it in browser code. SendGrid's API uses HTTPS requests, and the key should be limited to the permissions the application needs.

Is SendGrid the same service as Twilio SendGrid?

Yes, SendGrid operates as Twilio SendGrid after Twilio acquired the company. Developers may encounter both the SendGrid name and Twilio documentation when integrating email delivery.
