Typescript Axios

Elastic Email Typescript Axios API Library

Introduction

When you integrate Elastic Email with your application, you can interact with your Elastic Email account directly by our API. You can easily integrate your email flow, manage your contacts and templates, send emails, and track email statistics directly from your app.

This page will help you easily integrate with Elastic Email using the Typescript Axios library. You can find our whole downloadable Typescript Axios repository on GitHub. You can also use our comprehensive API documentation.

Elastic Email API v4 uses REST architecture, which allows you to perform various code actions, including directly through your app.

The maximum email size of your entire message or message + attachment cannot exceed 20MB.

The attachment format is the file’s content as a byte array or a Base64 string.

The maximum number of recipients has no limit for one campaign. It depends on the pricing plan.

The API has a limit of 20 concurrent connections and a hard timeout of 600 seconds per request.

On this page, you will find how to authenticate your application and what the requirements for the integration are. You will be also provided with a quick start guide on how to start using API, followed by code samples. 

If you like this article, share it with friends:

Authentication

To provide valid authentication and start using our API, you will need an API key. To generate your API key, enter settings on your Elastic Email account and go to Settings -> Manage API Keys -> Create or you can also click on the link: 

Create API key

Ceater API key

At this point, you can set custom permissions and optional access for your API key. 

Security tip: The restriction forces the API Key to work only with an IP or IP range that will be specified in this field.

Create API key 2

Once you create your API key, keep it safe as it will be used for every API call you make in order to identify you and confirm your account’s credentials. You can create either up to 15 or an unlimited amount of API keys based on your pricing plan. 

Your API key should be sent inside the header with the parameter name ‘x-elasticemail-apikey’ and your API key as a value.

  • Recipients: define your audience
  • Content: define your message details
  • Status: define the status in which the campaign should be created

Find out more by checking our API's documentation.

Send will be triggered immediately or postponed, depending on the given options. Because we define Status as Draft, in this case, it will be postponed and the campaign will be added to drafts.

Copied!
const newCampaign = {

To load details about a campaign list in your account using the Typescript Axios library, you will need Access Level: ViewCampaigns. Mind that when using Elastic Email, when you send an email to any group of contacts, we call it a “campaign”.

To load a campaign, put the following code into your file.

Load library using the following line:

Copied!
import { Configuration, CampaignsApi } from '@elasticemail/elasticemail-client-ts-axios';

Create config including your apikey:

Copied!
const config = new Configuration({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
});

Create an instance of CampaignsApi that will be used to load campaign details.

Copied!
const campaignsApi = new CampaignsApi(config);

Specify campaign name.

Find out more by checking our API's documentation.

Copied!
const campaignName = "example"; // string

Create a function calling campaignsByNameGet method from the API to load campaign details. You may include console logs called when the response comes back. In case of error it will display error details, otherwise it will display a success message and chosen details about the newly created campaign.

Copied!
const loadCampaign = (campaignName: string): void => {
    campaignsApi.campaignsByNameGet(campaignName).then((response) => {
        console.log('API called successfully.');
        console.log(response.data);
    }).catch((error) => {
        console.error(error);
    });
};

And finally, call loadCampaign function with proper arguments:

Copied!
loadCampaign(campaignName);

Update Campaign

To update existing campaigns in your account using the Typescript Axios library, you will need Access Level: ModifyCampaigns. Mind that when using Elastic Email, when you send an email to any group of contacts, we call it a “campaign”.

To update a campaign, put the following code into your file.

Load library using the following line:

Copied!
import { Configuration, CampaignsApi, Campaign } from '@elasticemail/elasticemail-client-ts-axios';

Create config including your apikey:

Copied!
const config = new Configuration({
    apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY"
});

Create an instance of CampaignsApi that will be used to update campaign details.

Copied!
const campaignsApi = new CampaignsApi(config);

Specify name of the campaign you want to update.

Find out more by checking our API's documentation.

Copied!
const campaignName = "example"; // string

Create a campaign object to put in place of a current version:

  • Name: defines campaign name by which you can identify it later
  • Recipients: define your audience
  • Content: define your message details
  • Status: define the status in which campaign should be created

Send will be triggered immediately or postponed, depending on given options. Because we define Status as Draft, so in this case it will be postponed and campaign will be added to drafts.

Copied!
const updatedCampaign = {
    Name: 'Updated example campaign',
    Recipients: {
      ListNames: ["my list name"],
      SegmentNames: null,
    },
    Content: [{
      From: 'myemail@address.com',
      ReplyTo: 'myemail@address.com',
      TemplateName: "your_template",
      Subject: 'Updated campaign'
    }],
    Status: "selected_status"
}; // interface Campaign from '@elasticemail/elasticemail-client-ts-axios'

Create a function calling campaignsByNamePut method from the API to update campaign details. You may include console logs called when the response comes back. In case of error it will display error details, otherwise it will display a success message and chosen details about the newly created campaign.

Copied!
const updateCampaign = (campaignName: string, updatedCampaign: Campaign): void => {
  campaignsApi.campaignsByNamePut(campaignName, updatedCampaign).then((response) => {
      console.log('API called successfully.');
      console.log(response.data);
  }).catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
  });
};

And finally, call updateCampaign function with proper arguments:

Copied!
updateCampaign(campaignName, updatedCampaign)

Delete Campaign

To delete an existing campaign, you will need Access Level: ModifyCampaigns. Mind that when using Elastic Email, when you send an email to any group of contacts, we call it a “campaign”.

To delete a campaign, put the following code into your file.

Load library using the following line:

Copied!
import { Configuration, CampaignsApi } from '@elasticemail/elasticemail-client-ts-axios';

Create config including your apikey:

Copied!
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>});</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Create an instance of CampaignsApi that will be used to remove the campaign.

Copied!
const campaignsApi = new CampaignsApi(config);

Specify the campaign name.

Find out more by checking our API's documentation.

Copied!
const campaignName = "example"; // string

Create a function calling campaignsByNameDelete method from the API to delete campaigns. You may include console logs called when the response comes back. In case of error it will display error details, otherwise it will display a success message and chosen details about the newly created campaign.

Copied!
const deleteCampaign = (campaignName: string): void => {
    campaignsApi.campaignsByNameDelete(campaignName).then((response) => {
        console.log('API called successfully.');
        console.log(response.data);
    }).catch((error) => {
        console.error(error);
    });
};

And finally, call deleteCampaign function with proper arguments:

Copied!
deleteCampaign(campaignName);

Tracking

In this section, we will walk you through the steps of managing actions related to email tracking. You will get to know how to load delivery and campaign statistics from your account using the Typescript Axios library.

Load Statistics

To load delivery statistics from your account, you will need Access Level: ViewReports.

Put the following code into your file.

Load library using the line:

Copied!
import { Configuration, StatisticsApi } from '@elasticemail/elasticemail-client-ts-axios';
