Lutung - Java Mandrill API

NOTE: this project is no longer maintained.

Lutung - a Java interface to the Mandrill API. Check out Mandrill's API [Documentation] (https://mandrillapp.com/api/docs/) to see all the possible magic.

Features:

  • all public API calls are implemented.
  • easy library set up; just provide your api key that you got from Mandrill.
  • all API calls are exposed through one simple interface: the MandrillApi class.
  • easy, intuitive naming scheme. All function-names are derived from the Mandrill API calls: if there is a call with the address '/messages/send.json', then we have a function for that called 'MandrillApi.messages().send(...)'.
  • API request errors are exposed to the user (you!) as a MandrillApiError.

Installation

If you're using Maven, just add this dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.mandrillapp.wrapper.lutung</groupId>
    <artifactId>lutung</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.8</version>
</dependency>

If you're not using Maven, see Dependencies below.

Examples

The 'whoami' of Mandrill:

MandrillApi mandrillApi = new MandrillApi("<put ur Mandrill API key here>");

MandrillUserInfo user = mandrillApi.users().info();

// pretty-print w/ gson
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().setPrettyPrinting().create();
System.out.println( gson.toJson(user) );

Send a 'Hello World!' email

MandrillApi mandrillApi = new MandrillApi("<put ur Mandrill API key here>");

// create your message
MandrillMessage message = new MandrillMessage();
message.setSubject("Hello World!");
message.setHtml("<h1>Hi pal!</h1><br />Really, I'm just saying hi!");
message.setAutoText(true);
message.setFromEmail("[email protected]");
message.setFromName("Kitty Katz");
// add recipients
ArrayList<Recipient> recipients = new ArrayList<Recipient>();
Recipient recipient = new Recipient();
recipient.setEmail("[email protected]");
recipient.setName("Claire Annette");
recipients.add(recipient);
recipient = new Recipient();
recipient.setEmail("[email protected]");
recipients.add(recipient);
message.setTo(recipients);
message.setPreserveRecipients(true);
ArrayList<String> tags = new ArrayList<String>();
tags.add("test");
tags.add("helloworld");
message.setTags(tags);
// ... add more message details if you want to!
// then ... send
MandrillMessageStatus[] messageStatusReports = mandrillApi
		.messages().send(message, false);

Error handling for Mandrill API errors

MandrillApi mandrillApi = new MandrillApi("<put ur Mandrill API key here>");

try {
	MandrillUserInfo user = mandrillApi.users().info();
} catch(final MandrillApiError e) {
	log.error(e.getMandrillErrorAsJson(), e);
}

Create a new template

MandrillApi mandrillApi = new MandrillApi("<put ur Mandrill API key here>");

MandrillTemplate newTemplate = mandrillApi.templates().add(
		"test_template_001", 
		"<html><body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>",
		false);

Dependencies

If you're not using Maven, here's a list of dependencies. Just make sure these jar files are on your classpath:

Known Issues

  • The metadata returned by the mandrill api on /messages/search.json does not get mapped to a member of MandrillMessageInfo

  • So far, I failed to successfully use Mandrills /messages/send-raw.json call. I'm not sure if I fail to create valid MIME contents, but lemme know if you make any experience with this call.

  • Also, I have no inbound-emailing set up with Mandrill. Would be great if anyone out there could test the implemented 'inbound' functionalities.

Lutung? Huh?

A monkey!!! The Javan Lutung is the name giver for this project; hat tip to MailChimp's naming scheme.
