}The mailgun library has built-in support for polling the events api
package main
import (
"context"
"time"
"github.com/mailgun/mailgun-go/v4"
)
func main() {
// You can find the Private API Key in your Account Menu, under "Settings":
// (https://app.mailgun.com/app/account/security)
mg := mailgun.NewMailgun("your-domain.com", "your-private-key")
begin := time.Now().Add(time.Second * -3)
// Very short poll interval
it := mg.PollEvents(&mailgun.ListEventOptions{
// Only events with a timestamp after this date/time will be returned
Begin: &begin,
// How often we poll the api for new events
PollInterval: time.Second * 30,
})
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()
// Poll until our email event arrives
var page []mailgun.Event
for it.Poll(ctx, &page) {
for _, e := range page {
// Do something with event
}
}
}package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"time"
"github.com/mailgun/mailgun-go/v4"
)
// If your plan does not include email validations but you have an account,
// use your Public Validation api key. If your plan does include email validations,
// use your Private API key. You can find both the Private and
// Public Validation API Keys in your Account Menu, under "Settings":
// (https://app.mailgun.com/app/account/security)
var apiKey string = "your-api-key"
func main() {
// To use the /v4 version of validations define MG_URL in the environment
// as `https://api.mailgun.net/v4` or set `v.SetAPIBase("https://api.mailgun.net/v4")`
// Create an instance of the Validator
v := mailgun.NewEmailValidator(apiKey)
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Second*10)
defer cancel()
email, err := v.ValidateEmail(ctx, "[email protected]", false)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Valid: %t\n", email.IsValid)
}package main

}Templates enable you to create message templates on your Mailgun account and then populate the data variables at send-time. This allows you to have your layout and design managed on the server and handle the data on the client. The template variables are added as a JSON stringified X-Mailgun-Variables header. For example, if you have a template to send a password reset link, you could do the following:
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"time"
"github.com/mailgun/mailgun-go/v4"
)
// Your available domain names can be found here:
// (https://app.mailgun.com/app/domains)
var yourDomain string = "your-domain-name" // e.g. mg.yourcompany.com
// You can find the Private API Key in your Account Menu, under "Settings":
// (https://app.mailgun.com/app/account/security)
var privateAPIKey string = "your-private-key"
func main() {
// Create an instance of the Mailgun Client
mg := mailgun.NewMailgun(yourDomain, privateAPIKey)
sender := "[email protected]"
subject := "Fancy subject!"
body := ""
recipient := "[email protected]"
// The message object allows you to add attachments and Bcc recipients
message := mg.NewMessage(sender, subject, body, recipient)
message.SetTemplate("passwordReset")
message.AddTemplateVariable("passwordResetLink", "some link to your site unique to your user")
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), time.Second*10)
defer cancel()
// Send the message with a 10 second timeout
resp, id, err := mg.Send(ctx, message)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("ID: %s Resp: %s\n", id, resp)
}The official mailgun documentation includes examples using this library. Go here and click on the "Go" button at the top of the page.
European customers will need to change the default API Base to access your domains
mg := mailgun.NewMailgun("your-domain.com", "private-api-key")
mg.SetAPIBase(mailgun.APIBaseEU)If you are using golang modules make sure you
include the /v4 at the end of your import paths
$ go get github.com/mailgun/mailgun-go/v4If you are not using golang modules, you can drop the /v4 at the end of the import path.
As long as you are using the latest 1.10 or 1.11 golang release, import paths that end in /v4
in your code should work fine even if you do not have golang modules enabled for your project.
$ go get github.com/mailgun/mailgun-goNOTE for go dep users
Using version 3 of the mailgun-go library with go dep currently results in the following error
"github.com/mailgun/mailgun-go/v4/events", which contains malformed code: no package exists at ...
This is a known bug in go dep. You can follow the PR to fix this bug here Until this bug is fixed, the best way to use version 3 of the mailgun-go library is to use the golang community supported golang modules.
WARNING - running the tests will cost you money!
To run the tests various environment variables must be set. These are:
MG_DOMAINis the domain name - this is a value registered in the Mailgun admin interface.MG_PUBLIC_API_KEYis the Public Validation API key - you can get this value from the Mailgun security pageMG_API_KEYis the Private API key - you can get this value from the Mailgun security pageMG_EMAIL_TOis the email address used in various sending tests.
and finally
MG_SPEND_MONEYif this value is set the part of the test that use the API to actually send email will be run - be aware this will count on your quota and this will cost you money.
