Getting unauthorised - 401 error when sending email.

Hey everyone,

I am getting an unauthorised error when I am using this library to send an email. Here is the error.

{ Error: Unauthorized
    at Request.http [as _callback] (node_modules/@sendgrid/client/src/classes/client.js:124:25)
    at Request.self.callback (node_modules/request/request.js:185:22)

  code: 401,
  message: 'Unauthorized',
  response:
   { headers:
      { server: 'nginx',
        date: 'Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:15:41 GMT',
        'content-type': 'application/json',
        'content-length': '88',
        connection: 'close',
        'access-control-allow-origin': 'https://sendgrid.api-docs.io',
        'access-control-allow-methods': 'POST',
        'access-control-allow-headers': 'Authorization, Content-Type, On-behalf-of, x-sg-elas-acl',
        'access-control-max-age': '600',
        'x-no-cors-reason': 'https://sendgrid.com/docs/Classroom/Basics/API/cors.html' },
     body: undefined } }

I have followed the example in this repo and my sendgrid transport looks like this:

const nodemailer = require('nodemailer')
const nodemailerSendgrid = require('nodemailer-sendgrid')

const sendgrid = nodemailer.createTransport(
  nodemailerSendgrid({
    apiKey: process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY
  })
)

module.exports = sendgrid

I am not able to point out what's going wrong here. Any thoughts on why this is happening ?

Cheers

Figured it out, it was an issue with the API key.
