This repository contains two Python scripts that demonstrate how to send emails with attachments using the Infobip Email API. The scripts utilize two different libraries:
requests(for synchronous HTTP requests)aiohttp(for asynchronous HTTP requests)
- Send emails with custom HTML content.
- Attach a file (e.g., a PDF receipt) to the email.
- Specify the sender's name and email address.
- Choose between synchronous (
requests) and asynchronous (aiohttp) implementations.
This script uses the requests library to send an email with an attachment.
- Synchronous Implementation: Each API call blocks the program until it completes.
- Simple to set up and execute.
- Suitable for straightforward tasks without concurrency.
This script uses the aiohttp library for an asynchronous approach to sending emails with attachments.
- Asynchronous Implementation: Supports non-blocking I/O operations, making it efficient for tasks requiring high concurrency.
- Requires Python's
asyncioto manage event loops and tasks.
-
Infobip Account: Ensure you have an active Infobip account with access to the Email API.
-
API Key: Obtain your Infobip API key from the Infobip Dashboard.
-
Python Environment: Install the required libraries:
requests(for the synchronous script)aiohttp(for the asynchronous script)
Use pip to install them:
pip install requests aiohttp
-
Email Setup:
- Replace
YOUR_API_KEY,YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS, andYOUR_EMAIL_FROMin both scripts with your actual Infobip API key, sender email address, and sender name.
- Replace
-
File to Attach: Ensure the file you wish to attach (
receipt.pdfin this case) is located in thefiles/directory.
-
Modify the script to add your Infobip API details:
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY" EMAILS_FROM_EMAIL = "YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS" EMAILS_FROM_NAME = "YOUR_EMAIL_FROM"
-
Execute the script:
python email_sender_requests.py
-
Check the console for the API response.
-
Modify the script to add your Infobip API details:
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY" EMAILS_FROM_EMAIL = "YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS" EMAILS_FROM_NAME = "YOUR_EMAIL_FROM"
-
Execute the script:
python email_sender_aiohttp.py
-
Check the console for the API response.
The scripts send the following email body as an example:
<html>
<body>
<h1 style="color: #754ffe;">Dear Recipient,</h1>
<p>This is a <b>test message</b> from <i>Infobip</i>.</p>
<p>Have a <span style="color: green;">great day!</span></p>
</body>
</html>- Security: Never hard-code sensitive information such as API keys in your scripts. Use environment variables or a configuration file for secure storage.
- Error Handling: Implement error handling for production use to capture and log API failures.
- Attachments: Ensure the file path and MIME type are correct for the attachment.
