SendGrid

Access the SendGrid API with managed OAuth authentication. Send transactional and marketing emails, manage contacts, templates, suppressions, and analyze email performance.

Quick Start

# Get user profile
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/sendgrid/v3/user/profile')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://api.maton.ai/sendgrid/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to api.sendgrid.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your SendGrid OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=sendgrid&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'sendgrid'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-11T10:53:41.817938Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-11T10:54:05.554084Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "sendgrid",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple SendGrid connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/sendgrid/v3/user/profile')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to email sending, contacts, lists, templates, sender identities, suppressions, unsubscribe groups, statistics, and SendGrid API key management within the connected SendGrid account.
• All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
• Email sending delivers messages to real recipients. Always confirm the recipient(s), subject, content, and sender identity with the user before sending.
• API key management creates, updates, or deletes SendGrid API keys. These are long-lived credentials that persist independently of the Maton connection. Only invoke when the user explicitly requests key management. Never expose created key values in output.

API Reference

All SendGrid API endpoints follow this pattern:

/sendgrid/v3/{resource}

Get API Key by ID

GET /sendgrid/v3/api_keys/{api_key_id}

Delete API Key

DELETE /sendgrid/v3/api_keys/{api_key_id}

Pagination

SendGrid uses token-based pagination for marketing endpoints:

GET /sendgrid/v3/marketing/lists?page_size=100&page_token={token}

Response includes:

{
  "result": [...],
  "_metadata": {
    "self": "https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/lists?page_size=100&page_token=",
    "next": "https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/marketing/lists?page_size=100&page_token=abc123"
  }
}

For suppression endpoints, use limit and offset:

GET /sendgrid/v3/suppression/bounces?limit=100&offset=0

Code Examples

JavaScript

// Send an email
const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/sendgrid/v3/mail/send',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      personalizations: [{
        to: [{email: 'recipient@example.com'}],
        subject: 'Hello'
      }],
      from: {email: 'sender@example.com'},
      content: [{type: 'text/plain', value: 'Hello World'}]
    })
  }
);

Python

import os
import requests

# Get email stats
response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/sendgrid/v3/stats',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'start_date': '2026-02-01'}
)
data = response.json()
for day in data:
    metrics = day['stats'][0]['metrics']
    print(f"{day['date']}: {metrics['delivered']} delivered, {metrics['opens']} opens")

Notes

• All requests use JSON content type
• Dates are in YYYY-MM-DD format
• Template IDs for dynamic templates start with d-
• Mail send returns 202 Accepted on success (not 200)
• Marketing contact operations are asynchronous - use job status endpoints
• Suppression endpoints support date filtering with start_time and end_time (Unix timestamps)
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

[ -n "$MATON_API_KEY" ] && echo "MATON_API_KEY is set" || echo "MATON_API_KEY is not set"

1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with sendgrid. For example:

• Correct: https://api.maton.ai/sendgrid/v3/user/profile
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/v3/user/profile
