Is there a way to build a complete sendgrid subscribtion form using only sendgrid's API?-CodePudding

I'm trying to build my own sendgrid subscribtion form using their API. Unfortunately this https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sendgrid/subscription-widget is the only solution I could find which requires a Heroku account which I don't need. I just want to find out what the API request should look like to subscribe to a mailing list whithout using third party apps.

Yes, you can create your own subscription form. To create a new contact in a list, you can use the create contacts API.

In JavaScript, using the API would look like:

const { Client } = require("@sendgrid/client");
const client = new Client();
client.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);

const request = {
  method: "PUT",
  url: "/v3/marketing/contacts",
  body: {
    contacts: [{ email: "[email protected]", first_name: "Test" }],
  },
};
client.request(request)
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);
