I'm working with JS and I have the following code:

  var XHRResponse = XHR.send("POST", ".mailgun/messages",{
    "parameters": {
      "from": "Mailgun Sandbox <[email protected]>",
      "to": "Jordi <[email protected]>",
      "subject": "Hello Jordi",
      "text": "Congratulations Jordi, you just sent an email with Mailgun!  You are truly awesome!  You can see a record of this email in your logs: .  You can send up to 300 emails/day from this sandbox server.  Next, you should add your domain so you can send 10,000 emails/month for free."
    }
  }); 

I need to authenticate with the API key but I don't know where and how.

• You can't send email from the browser. If you do this, people will steal your API key and use it to send huge volumes of spam (or worse) on your behalf. – user229044 ♦ Commented Jul 26, 2024 at 23:20

Mailgun API documentation has the entirety of this information. Look at the Authentication section specifically, https://documentation.mailgun./docs/mailgun/api-reference/authentication/. However with that being said, I wouldn't run this in the client if they, and if I understood correctly, require the key to be written in plain text.
