Sending HTML-only Content

Currently, we require both HTML and Plain Text content for improved deliverability. In some cases, only HTML may be available. The below example shows how to obtain the Plain Text equivalent of the HTML content.

Using beautifulsoup4

import os
from sendgrid import SendGridAPIClient
from sendgrid.helpers.mail import From, To, Subject, PlainTextContent, HtmlContent, Mail
import urllib.request as urllib
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html_text = """
<html>
    <body>
        <p>
            Some
            <b>
                bad
                <i>
                    HTML
                </i>
            </b>
        </p>
    </body>
</html>
"""

sendgrid_client = SendGridAPIClient(api_key=os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
from_email = From("from_email@exmaple.com")
to_email = To("to_email@example.com")
subject = Subject("Test Subject")
html_content = HtmlContent(html_text)

soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text)
plain_text = soup.get_text()
plain_text_content = Content("text/plain", plain_text)

message = Mail(from_email, to_email, subject, plain_text_content, html_content)

try:
    response = sendgrid_client.send(message=message)
    print(response.status_code)
    print(response.body)
    print(response.headers)
except urllib.HTTPError as e:
    print(e.read())
    exit()
