Issue Summary

With the latest release (6.8.0 as of this writing), this section of the quick start no longer works. The order of the parameters must be fixed or specify the arguments' name for each one.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Attempt to follow the instructions described in this section to send a basic email.
  2. This error raises, due to the mismatch of the arguments' order:
    TypeError: Object of type Content is not JSON serializable
  3. Can be fixed by specifying the name for each argument like this:
mail = Mail(from_email=from_email, to_emails=to_email, subject=subject, plain_text_content=content)

Code Snippet

import sendgrid
import os
from sendgrid.helpers.mail import *

sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(api_key=os.environ.get('SENDGRID_API_KEY'))
from_email = Email("test@example.com")
to_email = To("test@example.com")
subject = "Sending with SendGrid is Fun"
content = Content("text/plain", "and easy to do anywhere, even with Python")
mail = Mail(from_email, to_email, subject, content)
response = sg.client.mail.send.post(request_body=mail.get())
print(response.status_code)
print(response.body)
print(response.headers)
