Email API Integration for Every Application

Building email functionality is a surprisingly complex and specialized task. SparkPost’s robust email API makes it simple to embed email into any app or website.

curl -XPOST \
  https://api.sparkpost.com/api/v1/transmissions \
  -H "Authorization: <YOUR API KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"options": {"sandbox": true}, "content": {"from": "testing@sparkpostbox.com", "subject": "Oh hey", "text":"Testing SparkPost - the most awesomest email service in the world"}, "recipients": [{"address": "developers+curl@sparkpost.com"}]}'
const SparkPost = require('sparkpost');
const sparky = new SparkPost('<YOUR API KEY>');

sparky.transmissions.send({
    options: {
      sandbox: true
    },
    content: {
      from: 'testing@sparkpostbox.com',
      subject: 'Oh hey!',

  .then(data => {

    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.log('Whoops! Something went wrong');
    console.log(err);
  });
