Keep getting 401 unauthorized error when trying to integrate sendgrid to a test email.

1.- I have generated a new API key in sendgrid. 2.-Env variable has been declared in the environment

Hello @jtavarezdevops,

Here are a couple of things to try:

1. Try making your API call here. That will rule out the API Key itself.
2. Print the value of the API Key just before you make the call to ensure it was set properly.

With Best Regards,

Elmer

I'm having a similar issue:

<?php
// curl -X "GET" "https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/templates" -H "Authorization: Bearer key.removed.bynox" -H "Content-Type: application/json";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'GET https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/resource HTTP/1.1',
    'Authorization: Bearer key.removed.bynox'
));
curl_exec ($ch);

// require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // If you're using Composer (recommended)
// Comment out the above line if not using Composer
require("sendgrid/sendgrid-php.php");
// require("<PATH TO>/sendgrid-php.php");
// If not using Composer, uncomment the above line and
// download sendgrid-php.zip from the latest release here,
// replacing <PATH TO> with the path to the sendgrid-php.php file,
// which is included in the download:
// https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-php/releases
$email = new \SendGrid\Mail\Mail();
$email->setFrom("no-reply@timelogger.info", "Example User");
$email->setSubject("Sending with SendGrid is Fun");
$email->addTo("demo@noxidsoft.com", "Example User test with sendgrid");
$email->addContent("text/plain", "and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP");
$email->addContent(
    "text/html", "<strong>and easy to do anywhere, even with PHP</strong>"
);
$sendgrid = new \SendGrid(getenv('key.removed.bynox'));
try {
    $response = $sendgrid->send($email);
    print $response->statusCode() . "\n";
    print_r($response->headers());
    print $response->body() . "\n";
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught exception: '. $e->getMessage() ."\n";
}

curl_close ($ch);

Result (browser):

Any solution for this issue? :)

Facing the same issue

[devasia2112]

sounds like messy, no solution?

replace getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY') from this line $sendgrid = new \SendGrid(getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY')); with your API key and it should work.

Thanks replacing getenv function resolved for me but I am getting 202 in return but no email activity has been logged and not event I got any email

[iTrim]

post code mhamzas that you are using leave out passwords etc..

[arazima]

remove getenv - $sendgrid = new \SendGrid('SENDGRID_API_KEY');

Errors List As per the above link, it is not really an error. I followed the steps and got the same code. But email was sent almost immediately but it took few minutes for an activity entry to show up in my account.

But the key value will be exposed particularly when you want to deploy on heroku using gibhub. Is there a way to send emails using getenv('SENDGRID_API_KEY')? Please I desperately need an answer ASAP.

[childish-sambino]

Loading the API key from an env var just one way of loading it. If you're having issues loading from the env var, check your environment details for how to properly configure env vars. For heroku for instance: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars

+1 this worked for me, thanks!

gettiing this issue when using the curl example

[Wind010]

Ensure to include the Bearer prefix to the Authorization header: https://docs.sendgrid.com/for-developers/sending-email/curl-examples

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"personalizations": [{"to": [{"email": "recipient@example.com"}]}],"from": {"email": "sendeexampexample@example.com"},"subject": "Hello, World!","content": [{"type": "text/plain", "value": "Heya!"}]}'
