Client

class SES.Client

A low-level client representing Amazon Simple Email Service (SES):

import boto3

client = boto3.client('ses')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters:operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns:True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
delete_identity(**kwargs)

Deletes the specified identity (email address or domain) from the list of verified identities.

This action is throttled at one request per second.

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_identity(
    Identity='string'
)
Parameters:Identity (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The identity to be removed from the list of identities for the AWS Account.

Return type:dict
Returns:Response Syntax
{}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    An empty element. Receiving this element indicates that the request completed successfully.

delete_identity_policy(**kwargs)

Deletes the specified sending authorization policy for the given identity (email address or domain). This API returns successfully even if a policy with the specified name does not exist.

Note

This API is for the identity owner only. If you have not verified the identity, this API will return an error.

Sending authorization is a feature that enables an identity owner to authorize other senders to use its identities. For information about using sending authorization, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

This action is throttled at one request per second.

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_identity_policy(
    Identity='string',
    PolicyName='string'
)
Parameters:
  • Identity (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The identity that is associated with the policy that you want to delete. You can specify the identity by using its name or by using its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). Examples: user@example.com , example.com , arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com .

    To successfully call this API, you must own the identity.

  • PolicyName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the policy to be deleted.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

Response Syntax

{}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    An empty element. Receiving this element indicates that the request completed successfully.

delete_verified_email_address(**kwargs)

Deletes the specified email address from the list of verified addresses.

Warning

The DeleteVerifiedEmailAddress action is deprecated as of the May 15, 2012 release of Domain Verification. The DeleteIdentity action is now preferred.

This action is throttled at one request per second.

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_verified_email_address(
    EmailAddress='string'
)
Parameters:EmailAddress (string) --

[REQUIRED]

An email address to be removed from the list of verified addresses.

Returns:None
generate_presigned_url(ClientMethod, Params=None, ExpiresIn=3600, HttpMethod=None)

Generate a presigned url given a client, its method, and arguments

Parameters:
  • ClientMethod (string) -- The client method to presign for
  • Params (dict) -- The parameters normally passed to ClientMethod.
  • ExpiresIn (int) -- The number of seconds the presigned url is valid for. By default it expires in an hour (3600 seconds)

Returns:

The presigned url

get_identity_dkim_attributes(**kwargs)

Returns the current status of Easy DKIM signing for an entity. For domain name identities, this action also returns the DKIM tokens that are required for Easy DKIM signing, and whether Amazon SES has successfully verified that these tokens have been published.

This action takes a list of identities as input and returns the following information for each:

  • Whether Easy DKIM signing is enabled or disabled.
  • A set of DKIM tokens that represent the identity. If the identity is an email address, the tokens represent the domain of that address.
  • Whether Amazon SES has successfully verified the DKIM tokens published in the domain's DNS. This information is only returned for domain name identities, not for email addresses.

This action is throttled at one request per second and can only get DKIM attributes for up to 100 identities at a time.

For more information about creating DNS records using DKIM tokens, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

Request Syntax

response = client.get_identity_dkim_attributes(
    Identities=[
        'string',
    ]
)
Parameters:Identities (list) --

[REQUIRED]

A list of one or more verified identities - email addresses, domains, or both.

                'string',
            ]
        }
    }
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

          • DkimVerificationStatus (string) --

            Describes whether Amazon SES has successfully verified the DKIM DNS records (tokens) published in the domain name's DNS. (This only applies to domain identities, not email address identities.)

          • DkimTokens (list) --

            A set of character strings that represent the domain's identity. Using these tokens, you will need to create DNS CNAME records that point to DKIM public keys hosted by Amazon SES. Amazon Web Services will eventually detect that you have updated your DNS records; this detection process may take up to 72 hours. Upon successful detection, Amazon SES will be able to DKIM-sign email originating from that domain. (This only applies to domain identities, not email address identities.)

            For more information about creating DNS records using DKIM tokens, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

send_email(**kwargs)

Composes an email message based on input data, and then immediately queues the message for sending.

There are several important points to know about SendEmail :

  • You can only send email from verified email addresses and domains; otherwise, you will get an "Email address not verified" error. If your account is still in the Amazon SES sandbox, you must also verify every recipient email address except for the recipients provided by the Amazon SES mailbox simulator. For more information, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .
  • The total size of the message cannot exceed 10 MB. This includes any attachments that are part of the message.
  • Amazon SES has a limit on the total number of recipients per message. The combined number of To:, CC: and BCC: email addresses cannot exceed 50. If you need to send an email message to a larger audience, you can divide your recipient list into groups of 50 or fewer, and then call Amazon SES repeatedly to send the message to each group.
  • For every message that you send, the total number of recipients (To:, CC: and BCC:) is counted against your sending quota - the maximum number of emails you can send in a 24-hour period. For information about your sending quota, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

Request Syntax

response = client.send_email(
    Source='string',
    Destination={
        'ToAddresses': [
            'string',

    If you are sending on behalf of another user and have been permitted to do so by a sending authorization policy, then you must also specify the SourceArn parameter. For more information about sending authorization, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

    In all cases, the email address must be 7-bit ASCII. If the text must contain any other characters, then you must use MIME encoded-word syntax (RFC 2047) instead of a literal string. MIME encoded-word syntax uses the following form: =?charset?encoding?encoded-text?= . For more information, see RFC 2047 .

Response Syntax

{
    'MessageId': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • MessageId (string) --

      The unique message identifier returned from the SendEmail action.

send_raw_email(**kwargs)

Sends an email message, with header and content specified by the client. The SendRawEmail action is useful for sending multipart MIME emails. The raw text of the message must comply with Internet email standards; otherwise, the message cannot be sent.

There are several important points to know about SendRawEmail :

  • You can only send email from verified email addresses and domains; otherwise, you will get an "Email address not verified" error. If your account is still in the Amazon SES sandbox, you must also verify every recipient email address except for the recipients provided by the Amazon SES mailbox simulator. For more information, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .
  • The total size of the message cannot exceed 10 MB. This includes any attachments that are part of the message.
  • Amazon SES has a limit on the total number of recipients per message. The combined number of To:, CC: and BCC: email addresses cannot exceed 50. If you need to send an email message to a larger audience, you can divide your recipient list into groups of 50 or fewer, and then call Amazon SES repeatedly to send the message to each group.
  • The To:, CC:, and BCC: headers in the raw message can contain a group list. Note that each recipient in a group list counts towards the 50-recipient limit.
  • For every message that you send, the total number of recipients (To:, CC: and BCC:) is counted against your sending quota - the maximum number of emails you can send in a 24-hour period. For information about your sending quota, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .
  • If you are using sending authorization to send on behalf of another user, SendRawEmail enables you to specify the cross-account identity for the email's "Source," "From," and "Return-Path" parameters in one of two ways: you can pass optional parameters SourceArn , FromArn , and/or ReturnPathArn to the API, or you can include the following X-headers in the header of your raw email: * X-SES-SOURCE-ARN
  • X-SES-FROM-ARN
  • X-SES-RETURN-PATH-ARN

Warning

Do not include these X-headers in the DKIM signature, because they are removed by Amazon SES before sending the email.

For the most common sending authorization use case, we recommend that you specify the SourceIdentityArn and do not specify either the FromIdentityArn or ReturnPathIdentityArn . (The same note applies to the corresponding X-headers.) If you only specify the SourceIdentityArn , Amazon SES will simply set the "From" address and the "Return Path" address to the identity specified in SourceIdentityArn . For more information about sending authorization, see the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

Request Syntax

response = client.send_raw_email(
    Source='string',
    Destinations=[
        'string',
    ],
    RawMessage={
        'Data': b'bytes'
    },
    FromArn='string',
    SourceArn='string',
    ReturnPathArn='string'
)
Parameters:
  • Source (string) --

    The identity's email address. If you do not provide a value for this parameter, you must specify a "From" address in the raw text of the message. (You can also specify both.)

    By default, the string must be 7-bit ASCII. If the text must contain any other characters, then you must use MIME encoded-word syntax (RFC 2047) instead of a literal string. MIME encoded-word syntax uses the following form: =?charset?encoding?encoded-text?= . For more information, see RFC 2047 .

    Note

    If you specify the Source parameter and have feedback forwarding enabled, then bounces and complaints will be sent to this email address. This takes precedence over any Return-Path header that you might include in the raw text of the message.

  • Destinations (list) --

    A list of destinations for the message, consisting of To:, CC:, and BCC: addresses.

    • (string) --
  • RawMessage (dict) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The raw text of the message. The client is responsible for ensuring the following:

    • Message must contain a header and a body, separated by a blank line.
    • All required header fields must be present.
    • Each part of a multipart MIME message must be formatted properly.
    • MIME content types must be among those supported by Amazon SES. For more information, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .
    • Content must be base64-encoded, if MIME requires it.
    • Data (bytes) -- [REQUIRED]

      The raw data of the message. The client must ensure that the message format complies with Internet email standards regarding email header fields, MIME types, MIME encoding, and base64 encoding (if necessary).

      The To:, CC:, and BCC: headers in the raw message can contain a group list.

      If you are using SendRawEmail with sending authorization, you can include X-headers in the raw message to specify the "Source," "From," and "Return-Path" addresses. For more information, see the documentation for SendRawEmail .

      Warning

      Do not include these X-headers in the DKIM signature, because they are removed by Amazon SES before sending the email.

      For more information, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

  • FromArn (string) --

    This parameter is used only for sending authorization. It is the ARN of the identity that is associated with the sending authorization policy that permits you to specify a particular "From" address in the header of the raw email.

    Instead of using this parameter, you can use the X-header X-SES-FROM-ARN in the raw message of the email. If you use both the FromArn parameter and the corresponding X-header, Amazon SES uses the value of the FromArn parameter.

    Note

    For information about when to use this parameter, see the description of SendRawEmail in this guide, or see the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

  • SourceArn (string) --

    This parameter is used only for sending authorization. It is the ARN of the identity that is associated with the sending authorization policy that permits you to send for the email address specified in the Source parameter.

    For example, if the owner of example.com (which has ARN arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com ) attaches a policy to it that authorizes you to send from user@example.com , then you would specify the SourceArn to be arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com , and the Source to be user@example.com .

    Instead of using this parameter, you can use the X-header X-SES-SOURCE-ARN in the raw message of the email. If you use both the SourceArn parameter and the corresponding X-header, Amazon SES uses the value of the SourceArn parameter.

    Note

    For information about when to use this parameter, see the description of SendRawEmail in this guide, or see the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

  • ReturnPathArn (string) --

    This parameter is used only for sending authorization. It is the ARN of the identity that is associated with the sending authorization policy that permits you to use the email address specified in the ReturnPath parameter.

    For example, if the owner of example.com (which has ARN arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com ) attaches a policy to it that authorizes you to use feedback@example.com , then you would specify the ReturnPathArn to be arn:aws:ses:us-east-1:123456789012:identity/example.com , and the ReturnPath to be feedback@example.com .

    Instead of using this parameter, you can use the X-header X-SES-RETURN-PATH-ARN in the raw message of the email. If you use both the ReturnPathArn parameter and the corresponding X-header, Amazon SES uses the value of the ReturnPathArn parameter.

    Note

    For information about when to use this parameter, see the description of SendRawEmail in this guide, or see the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

set_identity_dkim_enabled(**kwargs)

Enables or disables Easy DKIM signing of email sent from an identity:

  • If Easy DKIM signing is enabled for a domain name identity (e.g., example.com ), then Amazon SES will DKIM-sign all email sent by addresses under that domain name (e.g., user@example.com ).
  • If Easy DKIM signing is enabled for an email address, then Amazon SES will DKIM-sign all email sent by that email address.

For email addresses (e.g., user@example.com ), you can only enable Easy DKIM signing if the corresponding domain (e.g., example.com ) has been set up for Easy DKIM using the AWS Console or the VerifyDomainDkim action.

This action is throttled at one request per second.

verify_domain_dkim(**kwargs)

Returns a set of DKIM tokens for a domain. DKIM tokens are character strings that represent your domain's identity. Using these tokens, you will need to create DNS CNAME records that point to DKIM public keys hosted by Amazon SES. Amazon Web Services will eventually detect that you have updated your DNS records; this detection process may take up to 72 hours. Upon successful detection, Amazon SES will be able to DKIM-sign email originating from that domain.

This action is throttled at one request per second.

To enable or disable Easy DKIM signing for a domain, use the SetIdentityDkimEnabled action.

For more information about creating DNS records using DKIM tokens, go to the Amazon SES Developer Guide .

Request Syntax

response = client.verify_domain_dkim(
    Domain='string'
)
Parameters:Domain (string) --

[REQUIRED]

The name of the domain to be verified for Easy DKIM signing.

Return type:dict
Returns:Response Syntax
{
    'DkimTokens': [
        'string',
    ]
}

Response Structure
