I am using Mailtrap's SMTP to send my development/test e-mails to a fake inbox.
Their SMTP server feature works well, but I'm now trying to implement their API v2 instead.
Every time I hit the https://send.api.mailtrap.io/api/send endpoint, I keep getting the following error:
{"errors":["Unauthorized"]}
More info
- I have a Paid account and generated an API Token which has full Admin rights
- Only the
send.api.mailtrap.io/api/sendendpoint fails, other endpoints such asmailtrap.io/accountsare working - I am getting the same error whether I use their API Doc Request testing tool or my code
- I am getting the same error message with their API v1
cURL request used (from their API docs)
curl -X POST "https://send.api.mailtrap.io/api/send" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-H "Api-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"to":[{"email":"john_doe@example.com","name":"John Doe"}],"from":{"email":"sales@example.com","name":"Example Sales Team"},"subject":"Your Example Order Confirmation","html":"<p>Congratulations on your order no. <strong>1234</strong>.</p>"}'
Similar cURL request via PHP (same error message)
<?php
$post = [];
$post['to'] = 'test@test.com';
$post['from'] = ['name' => 'Test', 'email' => 'test@test.com'];
$post['subject'] = 'Test';
$post['html'] = '<h2>This is a test</h2><p>It works!</p>';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://send.api.mailtrap.io/api/send');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($post));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Api-Token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx']);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
print_r($result);
echo "\n";
