Add Multiple Recipients from a csv file

[MIKNOTAURO]

Feature request

It would be awesome (and a killer feature maybe) to have a method for add recipients from a csv file... maybe with 2 requests or with one request and a serialize data like json or xml

Hi @MIKNOTAURO,

Thanks for the suggestion!

I will leave this open since even though it's now on our backlog, it's not likely to be implemented by SendGrid soon. However, if someone would like to submit a PR, that would be awesome :)

With Best Regards,

Elmer

@MIKNOTAURO how do you see this working?

@jonodrew @thinkingserious

Like this endpoint POST /contactdb/recipients but with a csv file
something like this -> POST /contactdb/recipients_from_file or POST /contactdb/recipients_from_csv

And then with python like this

sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(apikey=os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))

response = sg.client.contactdb.recipients_from_file.post(csv_file, list_id_optional=1, delimiter=',', clomuns='email', 'name'... )

Where

delimiter -> could be | or , or something else like in csv files
columns -> could be useful to map the values between the csv file and sendgrid data structure of recipients
and some optional parameters like list_id to also add those recipients to a list

The thing is that you have to deal with a binary files in a rest call.... which could be tricky but possible in some ways.

What do you think guys?
