# Send emails with FastAPI

> Learn how to send your first email using FastAPI and the Resend Python SDK.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, you'll need:

* A Resend [API key](/docs/create-an-api-key)
* A [verified domain](/docs/add-a-domain)

## Guide

**1. Install**

Get the Resend Python SDK.

```bash Pip theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
pip install resend
```

**2. Send email using HTML**

The easiest way to send an email is by using the `html` parameter.

```py main.py theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"vesper"}}
import os
from typing import Dict
from fastapi import FastAPI
import resend

resend.api_key = os.environ["RESEND_API_KEY"]

app = FastAPI()

@app.post("/")
def send_mail() -> Dict:
    params: resend.Emails.SendParams = {
        "from": "Acme <onboarding@resend.dev>",
        "to": ["delivered@resend.dev"],
        "subject": "hello world",
        "html": "<strong>it works!</strong>",
    }
    email: resend.Emails.SendResponse = resend.Emails.send(params)
    return email
```
