How to use the SendGrid V3 API
Welcome to SendGrid’s Web API v3! This API is RESTful, fully featured, easy to integrate with, and offers support in 7 different languages.
Libraries
On Behalf Of
The On Behalf Of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. Use this header to automate bulk updates or to administer a Subuser or account without changing the authentication in your code.
The on-behalf-of header does not work with the Mail Send API.
How to use on-behalf-of
On Behalf Of generates the API call as if the Subuser or customer account is making the call. When authenticating and using the on-behalf-of header, you must use the parent account's API key credentials.
On Behalf Of accepts either a Subuser username or customer account ID, depending on which type of sub-account structure you are administering. Subusers function like separate SendGrid sub-accounts, and they're available to all customers on Pro and Premier plans. Customer accounts also act as separate sub-accounts that are managed by a parent account; however, customer accounts are available only to companies that have a formal reseller partnership with Twilio SendGrid.
See Subusers for more information about working with Subusers. See the Account Provisioning API for more information about managing customer accounts.
When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID.
on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>
When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username.
on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>
