Railway

Railway lets you focus on building your product instead of managing infrastructure, scaling automatically as you grow. Use the sendping Node SDK — it works the same on Railway as in any Node.js host. Install it with npm install sendping.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you will need:

• A SendPing API key.
• A verified domain to send from.
• A Railway account.

1. Install the SDK

npm install sendping

2. Create a Railway project

Create a new project on Railway and deploy a Node.js service (for example, from a GitHub repo or with railway init from the Railway CLI).

3. Add your API key

In your service's Variables tab, add SENDPING_API_KEY with your key. Railway injects it into the runtime environment so you never commit the secret.

SENDPING_API_KEY=mb_xxxxxxxxx

4. Send your first email

In a request handler (here, a minimal Node.js HTTP server), instantiate the SDK client and call mb.emails.send().

import { createServer } from 'node:http';
import { SendPing } from 'sendping';

const mb = new SendPing(process.env.SENDPING_API_KEY);

createServer(async (_req, res) => {
  const { data, error } = await mb.emails.send({
    from: 'Acme <onboarding@yourdomain.com>',
    to: ['delivered@test.sendping.co'],
    subject: 'hello world',
    html: '<strong>it works!</strong>',
  });

  res.writeHead(error ? 500 : 200, { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' });
  res.end(JSON.stringify(error ? { error } : { data }));
}).listen(process.env.PORT || 3000);

5. Deploy and verify

Once your deployment finishes, open the deploy URL to send your first email.
