On my production server I am getting the error below
"init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'apikey'"
The same code on the development server is working.
My production server is running gunicorn and I have added the environment variable SENDGRID_API_KEY to the gunicorn.service file. I have restarted gunicorn and nginx. I can see that the environment variable is loaded.
The method I am calling to send the email is below:
def sendtestemail(to):
sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(apikey=os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
from_email = Email("<myemail>@<mydomain>.com")
to_email = Email(to)
subject = "Sending with SendGrid is Fun"
content = Content("text/plain", "and easy to do anywhere, even with Python")
mail = Mail(from_email, subject, to_email, content)
response = sg.client.mail.send.post(request_body=mail.get())
return [response.status_code, response.body, response.headers]
The issue originates from a breaking change introduced in sendgrid 6.0. The keyword argument for apikey has been removed and replaced with a positional argument.
To resolve with your example, remove apikey= from your arguments, and just pass the api_key as a positional argument.
sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
This can be a bit confusing when looking back at all previous examples as well as GitHub documentation, but this example on the official documentation does get it right.
Note: I do see that at the time of asking your question, you were indeed following the documentation I linked above correctly. There are a few issues opened where the documentation remained inaccurate for quite some time, but was resolved back in may.
