I deeply value the principles of Python's Zen, and the Resend API design aligns perfectly with this philosophy. It's a fantastic fit for Python projects, offering both ease of use and elegance.

from django.core.mail import send_mailfrom django.http import JsonResponsedef send_email(request):send_mail(subject="Hello World",message="This is a plain text message.",from_email="onboarding@resend.dev",recipient_list=["delivered@resend.dev"],html_message="<strong>it works!</strong>",)return JsonResponse({"message": "Email sent successfully"})
Send with Django
Point Django's email backend at Resend and keep sending with the built-in send_mail and EmailMessage APIs.
Full SMTP Support
If you prefer SMTP, use Django's SMTP email backend with Resend's SMTP endpoint.
# Add these attributes to your settings.py file:EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'RESEND_SMTP_HOST = 'smtp.resend.com'RESEND_SMTP_PORT = 587RESEND_SMTP_USERNAME = 'resend'RESEND_SMTP_PASSWORD = 're_xxxxxxxxx'# Use Django's get_connection and EmailMessage:with get_connection(host=settings.RESEND_SMTP_HOST,port=settings.RESEND_SMTP_PORT,username=settings.RESEND_SMTP_USERNAME,password=settings.RESEND_SMTP_PASSWORD,use_tls=True,) as connection:r = EmailMessage(from_email="onboarding@resend.dev",subject="Hello World",to=["delivered@resend.dev"],body=message,connection=connection).send()

"Our team loves Resend. It makes email sending so easy and reliable. After we switched to Dedicated IPs, our deliverability improved tremendously and we don't hear complaints about emails landing on spam anymore."
Vlad MatsiiakoCo-founder of Infisical"I've used Mailgun, Sendgrid, and Mandrill and they don't come close to providing the quality of developer experience you get with Resend."
Brandon StrittmatterCo-founder of Outerbase"Resend is an amazing product. It was so easy to switch over. I feel confident knowing that our important emails are in good hands with Resend. Everyone should be using this."
Shariar KabirFounder at Ruby Card"All of our customers are located in South America, so having a solution that could send emails from the region closest to our users is very important. Resend's multi-region feature is a game-changer for us."
Giovanni KeppelenCTO & Partner at VOA Hoteis"The speed and ease of integrating with the product was incredible, but what really stood out was their intricate knowledge of email and relentless support day or night. Oh and we also ended up winning Product of the week."
