Retrieve Email Statistics for Categories

Effective February 1, 2022, Twilio SendGrid will limit the number of stored category statistics available per user. Accounts on a paid plan will be allowed 1,000 categories daily. Accounts on a free plan will be allowed 100 categories daily. For more information about this change, see the Limitations section of our "Working with Categories" page.

Category statistics are available for the previous thirteen months only.

GET /v3/categories/stats

Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com

This endpoint allows you to retrieve all of your email statistics for each of your categories.

If you do not define any query parameters, this endpoint will return a sum for each category in groups of 10.
