Mailjet JS

Build Status Current Version

Overview

Welcome to the Mailjet official JavaScript SDK built with webpack, babel & es5.
This can be used in node or in the browser.

Check out all the resources and JS code examples in the official Mailjet Documentation.

NOTE:
If used in the browser, at the moment a proxy is required to communicate with the Mailjet API due to CORS limitations.
Also, do not publish your private api key in frontend code.

Table of contents

Documentation

Compatibility

This library officially supports the following Node.JS versions:

  • >= v12.x

Install

Install the SDK use the following code:

npm install node-mailjet

Setup Client

Authentication

The Mailjet Email API uses your public and secret keys for authentication.

export MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC='your API key'
export MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE='your API secret'

export MJ_API_TOKEN='your API token'

Note:
For the SMS API the authorization is based on a Bearer token.
See information about it in the SMS API section of the readme.

Basic setup

Next, require the module and initialize your Mailjet client:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet');

For EMAIL API and SEND API:

const mailjet = new Mailjet({
  apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC || 'your-api-key',
  apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE || 'your-api-secret'
});

For SMS API:

const mailjet = new Mailjet({
  apiToken: process.env.MJ_API_TOKEN || 'your-api-token'
});

API Setup

For EMAIL API and SEND API you can use static method apiConnect:

const mailjet = Mailjet.apiConnect(
    process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE,
    {
      config: {},
      options: {}
    } 
);

SMS Setup

For SMS API you can use static method smsConnect:

const mailjet = Mailjet.smsConnect(
    process.env.MJ_API_TOKEN,
    {
      config: {},
      options: {}
    } 
);

Make your first call

Here's an example on how to send an email:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet');
const mailjet = Mailjet.apiConnect(
    process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE,
);

const request = mailjet
        .post('send', { version: 'v3.1' })
        .request({
          Messages: [
            {
              From: {
                Email: "pilot@mailjet.com",
                Name: "Mailjet Pilot"
              },
              To: [
                {
                  Email: "passenger1@mailjet.com",
                  Name: "passenger 1"
                }
              ],
              Subject: "Your email flight plan!",
              TextPart: "Dear passenger 1, welcome to Mailjet! May the delivery force be with you!",
              HTMLPart: "<h3>Dear passenger 1, welcome to <a href=\"https://www.mailjet.com/\">Mailjet</a>!</h3><br />May the delivery force be with you!"
            }
          ]
        })

request
    .then((result) => {
        console.log(result.body)
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.log(err.statusCode)
    })

Configuration

To instantiate the library you can use the following constructor:

const mailjet = new Mailjet({
  apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
  apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE,
  config: CONFIG,
  options: OPTIONS
});

const request = mailjet
    .METHOD(RESOURCE, CONFIG)
  • METHOD: the method you want to use for this call (post, put, get, delete)
  • RESOURCE: the API endpoint you want to call
  • OPTIONS: associative array describing the connection options (see Options bellow for full list)
  • CONFIG: associative array describing the connection config (see Config bellow for full list)

Options

options have this structure:

  • requestHeaders - associative array describing custom header fields which you can pass to the request
  • timeout - sets maximum time to wait for the first byte to arrive from the server, but it does not limit how long the entire download can take
  • proxyUrl - sets a HTTPS proxy URL to direct all requests to a specific URL

You can pass options on init client and this options will use for each request:

const mailjet = new Mailjet({
  apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
  apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE,
  options: {
      requestHeaders: {
          'X-API-Key': 'foobar'
      },
      timeout: 1000,
      proxyUrl: 'www.test-proxy.com'
  }
});
Request timeout

You are able to set a timeout for your request using the timeout parameter.\

The timeout parameter describe maximum time to wait for the first byte to arrive from the server, but it does not limit how long the entire download can take.
The API request timeout is set in milliseconds:

const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE,
    options: {
        timeout: 100
    }
});

const request = mailjet
    .post('send', { version: 'v3.1' })
Request headers

You are able to set a custom headers for your request using the requestHeaders parameter.

const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE,
    options: {
        requestHeaders: {
            'API-Key': 'foobar', 
            Accept: 'application/json',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
    }
});

const request = mailjet
    .post('send', { version: 'v3.1' })
Use proxy

The proxyUrl parameter allows you to set a HTTPS proxy URL to send the API requests through:

const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE,
    options: {
        proxyUrl: 'YOUR_PROXY_URL'
    }
});

const request = mailjet
    .post('send', { version: 'v3.1' })

The proxy URL is passed directly to superagent.connect() as:

if (clientOptions.proxyUrl) {
    request.connect({ '*': clientOptions.proxyUrl });
}

NOTE:
This parameter worked only on the node side because in Node.JS it's possible to ignore DNS resolution and direct all requests to a specific IP address.

Config

config have this structure:

  • host - sets custom host URL
  • version - sets required version of API for determinate endpoint (set of v3, v3.1, v4)
  • output - sets the Accept header

You can pass config on init client and this config will use for each request:

const mailjet = new Mailjet({
  apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
  apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE,
  config: {
      host: 'new.api.mailjet',
      version: 'v3.1',
      output: 'xml',
  }
});

And for each request manually (this config will have more precedence than passed in client):

const request = mailjet
    .post('send', {
        host: 'new.api.mailjet',
        version: 'v3.1',
        output: 'json',
    })
API Versioning

The Mailjet API is spread among three distinct versions:

  • v3 - The Email API
  • v3.1 - The Email Send API v3.1, which is the latest version of our Send API
  • v4 - The SMS API

Since most Email API endpoints are located under v3, it is set as the default one and does not need to be specified when making your request.
For the others you need to specify the version using version.

For example, if using Send API v3.1:

const request = mailjet
    .post('send', { version: 'v3.1' })

For additional information refer to our API Reference.

Host URL

The default base host name for the Mailjet API is api.mailjet.com.
You can modify this host URL by setting a value for host in your call:

const request = mailjet
    .post('send', { version: 'v3.1', host: 'api.us.mailjet.com' })

If your account has been moved to Mailjet's US architecture, the host value you need to set is api.us.mailjet.com.

Accept output

The default accepted output for the Mailjet API is json.
You can modify this accepted output data by setting a value for output in your call:

const request = mailjet
    .post('send', { version: 'v3.1', output: 'xml' })

The output parameter allowing you to specify either the full canonicalized MIME type name as type/subtype or the extension suffix form as xml, json, png, etc.

For more detailed information and set of supported output values visit this doc.

NOTE:
Keep in mind that not all passed values to output property will correctly execute by Mailjet server.

Disable API call

By default, the API call parameter is always enabled.
However, you may want to disable it during testing to prevent unnecessary calls to the Mailjet API.

This is done by passing the second argument with value false to .request(data, performAPICall) method:

const request = mailjet
    .post('send', { version: 'v3.1' })
    .request({}, false)

TypeScript

At the moment library based on TypeScript and provide generic method Request.request<TResult>(data):

import Mailjet from 'node-mailjet'
const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
});

interface IContract {
    IsExcludedFromCampaigns: boolean;
    Name: string;
    CreatedAt: string;
    DeliveredCount: number;
    Email: string;
}

type TResponse<TEntity> = {
    Count: number;
    Total: number;
    Data: Array<TEntity>
}

const request = mailjet
	.get('contact')
	.request<TResponse<IContract>>()

And response will have this shape:

{
    response: Response;
    body: {
        Count: number;
        Total: number;
        Data: Array<{
            IsExcludedFromCampaigns: boolean;
            Name: string;
            CreatedAt: string;
            DeliveredCount: number;
            Email: string;
        }>;
    }
}

But at the moment library don't provide a types for Mailjet API only for library level. But we work on it.

Our external Typings

For now or for earlier versions of library you can use @types/node-mailjet dependency.

The types are published in npm and ready for use.
Here is the npm page.

Feel free to request changes if there is something missing or you just suggest an improvement.

The main repository is here.
And here is the file with our types.

Browser Demo

For this demo to work, you'll need to install and run http-proxy locally.

Install it with:

npm install -g http-proxy

Then run the following command from the mailjet-apiv3-nodejs directory:

http-server -p 4001 --proxy="https://api.mailjet.com"

Demo should be up and running at http://0.0.0.0:4001/examples/

App examples

List of basic applications that was built in different environments:

  1. Browser - Basic app that using RequireJS and provide page where you can make some requests
  2. Node - Basic app that contain simple scripts with some requests
  3. Sendmail - ExpressJS based app that allow to retrieve list of contacts and send email to some person
  4. ReactJS - ReactJS based app that provide page where you can make some requests

NOTE: For browser side examples at the moment a proxy is required to communicate with the Mailjet API due to CORS limitations.

Request examples

Basic API

POST Request

Use the post method of the Mailjet client:

const request = mailjet
  .post($RESOURCE, $CONFIG)
  .id($ID)
  .request($DATA)

.request will contain the body of the POST request.
You need to define .id if you want to perform an action on a specific object and need to identify it.

Simple POST request

Create a new contact:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet')
const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
});

const request = mailjet
	.post('contact')
	.request({
        Email: "passenger@mailjet.com",
        IsExcludedFromCampaigns: "true",
        Name: "New Contact"
	})

request
	.then((result) => {
		console.log(result.body)
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err.statusCode)
	})
Using actions

Manage the subscription status of a contact to multiple lists:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet')
const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
});

const request = mailjet
    .post('contact')
	.id($contactID)
	.action('managecontactslists')
	.request({
          ContactsLists: [
            {
                ListID: $listID,
                Action: "addnoforce"
            }
        ]
	})

request
	.then((result) => {
		console.log(result.body)
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err.statusCode)
	})
GET Request

Use the get method of the Mailjet client:

const request = mailjet
 .get($RESOURCE, $CONFIG)
 .id($ID)
 .request($PARAMS)

.request will contain any query parameters applied to the request.
You need to define .id if you want to retrieve a specific object.

Retrieve all objects

Retrieve all contacts:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet')
const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
});

const request = mailjet
	.get('contact')
	.request()

request
	.then((result) => {
		console.log(result.body)
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err.statusCode)
	})
Use filtering

Retrieve all contacts that are not in the campaign exclusion list:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet')
const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
});

const request = mailjet
	.get('contact')
	.request({ IsExcludedFromCampaigns: false })

request
	.then((result) => {
		console.log(result.body)
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err.statusCode)
	})
Retrieve a single object

Retrieve a specific contact by ID:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet')
const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
});

const request = mailjet
	.get('contact')
	.id($contactID)
	.request()

request
	.then((result) => {
		console.log(result.body)
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err.statusCode)
	})
PUT Request

Use the put method of the Mailjet client:

const request = mailjet
    .put($RESOURCE, $CONFIG)
    .id($ID)
    .request($PARAMS)

You need to define .id to specify the object you need to edit.
.request will contain the body of the PUT request.

A PUT request in the Mailjet API will work as a PATCH request - the update will affect only the specified properties.
The other properties of an existing resource will neither be modified, nor deleted.
It also means that all non-mandatory properties can be omitted from your payload.

Update the contact properties for a contact:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet')
const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
});

const request = mailjet
    .put('contactdata')
    .id($contactID)
    .request({
        Data: [
            {
                first_name: "John",
                last_name: "Smith"
            }
        ]
    })

request
    .then((result) => {
        console.log(result.body)
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.log(err.statusCode)
    })
DELETE Request

Use the delete method of the Mailjet client:

const request = mailjet
 .delete($RESOURCE, $CONFIG)
 .id($ID)
 .request()

You need to define .id to specify the object you want to delete.
.request should be empty.

Upon a successful DELETE request the response will not include a response body, but only a 204 No Content response code.

Delete an email template:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet')
const mailjet = new Mailjet({
    apiKey: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PUBLIC,
    apiSecret: process.env.MJ_APIKEY_PRIVATE
});

const request = mailjet
	.delete('template')
	.id($templateID)
	.request()

request
	.then((result) => {
		console.log(result.body)
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err.statusCode)
	})

SMS API

Token authentication

Authentication for the SMS API endpoints is done using a Bearer token.
The Bearer token is generated in the SMS section of your Mailjet account.

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet');
const mailjet = Mailjet.smsConnect(process.env.MJ_API_TOKEN);
Example request

Here's an example SMS API request:

const Mailjet = require('node-mailjet');
const mailjet = Mailjet.smsConnect(process.env.MJ_API_TOKEN, {
    config: {
        version: 'v4'
    }
});

const request = mailjet
    .post('sms-send')
    .request({
        Text: "Have a nice SMS flight with Mailjet !",
        To: "+33600000000",
        From: "MJPilot"
  })

request
	.then((result) => {
		console.log(result.body)
	})
	.catch((err) => {
		console.log(err.statusCode)
	})
