Retrieve all Global Suppressions



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/suppression/unsubscribes

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 paginated list of all email address that are globally suppressed.

You can use the limit query parameter to set the page size. If your list contains more items than the page size permits, you can make multiple requests. Use the offset query parameter to control the position in the list from which to start retrieving additional items.


Authentication

Property nameTypeRequiredDescription
Authorizationstringrequired
Default: Bearer <<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>>

on-behalf-ofstringOptional

The on-behalf-of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>). See On Behalf Of for more information.

Property nameTypeRequiredDescription
start_timeintegerOptional

Refers start of the time range in unix timestamp when an unsubscribe email was created (inclusive).


end_timeintegerOptional

Refers end of the time range in unix timestamp when an unsubscribe email was created (inclusive).


limitintegerOptional

limit sets the page size, i.e. maximum number of items from the list to be returned for a single API request. If omitted, the default page size is used. The maximum page size for this endpoint is 500 items per page.

Minimum: 1Maximum: 500

offsetintegerOptional

The number of items in the list to skip over before starting to retrieve the items for the requested page. The default offset of 0 represents the beginning of the list, i.e. the start of the first page. To request the second page of the list, set the offset to the page size as determined by limit. Use multiples of the page size as your offset to request further consecutive pages. E.g. assume your page size is set to 10. An offset of 10 requests the second page, an offset of 20 requests the third page and so on, provided there are sufficiently many items in your list.

Minimum: 0Default: 0

emailstringOptional

Specifies which records to return based on the records' associated email addresses. For example, sales returns records with email addresses that start with 'sales', such as salesdepartment@example.com or sales@example.com. You can also use %25 as a wildcard. For example, %25market returns records containing email addresses with the string 'market' anywhere in the email address, and %25market%25tree returns records containing email addresses with the string 'market' followed by the string 'tree'. Any reserved characters should be percent-encoded(link takes you to an external page), e.g., the @ symbol should be encoded as %40.

Retrieving paginated results

retrieving-paginated-results page anchor

To perform a request for the first page of the paginated list of all global suppressions using the default page size, you can omit the limit and offset query parameters:

Retrieve first page from list of all global suppressionsLink to code sample: Retrieve first page from list of all global suppressions
1
const client = require('@sendgrid/client');
2
client.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
3
4
5
const request = {
6
url: `/v3/suppression/unsubscribes`,
7
method: 'GET',
8
9
}
10
11
client.request(request)
12
.then(([response, body]) => {
13
console.log(response.statusCode);
14
console.log(response.body);
15
})
16
.catch(error => {
17
console.error(error);
18
});

If you want to specify a page size of your choice, you can use the limit query parameter. Assume you want a page size of no more than 5 items per request, to retrieve the first page you can use the limit parameter without specifying an offset:

Retrieve first page from list of all global suppressions with a specified page sizeLink to code sample: Retrieve first page from list of all global suppressions with a specified page size

const client = require('@sendgrid/client');
2
client.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);

const queryParams = {
5
"limit": 10

};

const request = {

url: `/v3/suppression/unsubscribes`,

method: 'GET',

}

client.request(request)

.then(([response, body]) => {

console.log(response.statusCode);
17
console.log(response.body);
18
})
19
.catch(error => {
20
console.error(error);
21
});

If you want to retrieve items beyond the first page, you can use the offset parameter as follows. Assume you are still working with a page size of 5 as determined by your limit query parameter and you have more than 15 items. To request the fourth page of items, you can use the offset parameter to skip over the first 15 items, i.e. you start retrieving items starting after the first three pages of 5 items each:

console.log(response.body);

})

.catch(error => {

console.error(error);

});

Use the email query parameter to filter results

use-the-email-query-parameter-to-filter-results page anchor

The code samples below show how to use the email query parameter to filter the Global Suppression records returned by the GET request. A Global Suppression record is included in the results if the Global Suppression's email property starts with the value of the email query parameter. One or more %25 wildcards can be used in the email query parameter.

Any reserved characters should be percent-encoded(link takes you to an external page) to avoid any unintended encoding/decoding of characters.

Filter results without wildcard

filter-results-without-wildcard page anchor

The code sample below shows examples of how to GET all Global Suppression records with email properties that begin with the string "sales".

1
const client = require('@sendgrid/client');
2
client.setApiKey(process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY);
3
4
const queryParams = {
5
"email": "sales"
6
};
7
8
const request = {
9
url: `/v3/suppression/unsubscribes`,
10
method: 'GET',
11
qs: queryParams
12
}
13
14
client.request(request)
15
.then(([response, body]) => {
16
console.log(response.statusCode);
17
console.log(response.body);
18
})
19
.catch(error => {
20
console.error(error);
21
});

This request would return Global Suppressions with email addresses that start with "sales", such as salesteam@example.com or sales@example.com.

Filter results with wildcard

filter-results-with-wildcard page anchor

The code sample below shows examples of how to GET all Global Suppression records with email properties that contain the string "sales" anywhere in the email address.

const client = require('@sendgrid/client');

const queryParams = {

17
console.log(response.body);
18
})
19
.catch(error => {
20
console.error(error);

});

This request would return Global Suppressions with email addresses that contain "sales" anywhere in the email address, such as george@sales.example.com or sales@example.com.
