Retrieve a Global Suppression



API Overview

api-overview page anchor

Global suppressions are the email addresses of recipients who have indicated that they would like unsubscribe from all the email you send by clicking on the Unsubscribe From All Emails link within your emails. Once a recipient's address is on the global suppressions list, they will not receive any emails from you.


GET/v3/asm/suppressions/global/{email}

Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com (for global users and subusers)

Base url: https://api.eu.sendgrid.com (for EU regional subusers)

This endpoint allows you to retrieve a global suppression. You can also use this endpoint to confirm if an email address is already globally suppresed.

If the email address you include in the URL path parameter {email} is already globally suppressed, the response will include that email address. If the address you enter for {email} is not globally suppressed, an empty JSON object {} will be returned.
