Rails - How to add contacts to SendGrid marketing campaigns via API

Question

I need to make HTTP get and post requests with SendGrid to add contacts to our account, however there doesn\'t seem to be a gem for their email marketing functionality.

Answer 1

I ended up figuring it out. For future reference, here's the code that worked...

require 'rest_client'
api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
headers = {'Authorization' => "Bearer #{api_key}"}
data = {:email => 'email@website.com'}
response = RestClient.post 'https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/contactdb/recipients', [data].to_json, headers
