Here's an example of how to use the Mailtrap API in JavaScript:

const fetch = require('node-fetch');

const sendTestEmail = async () => {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.mailtrap.io/api/v1/inboxes/YOUR_INBOX_ID/send', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify({
            from: { email: 'test@example.com', name: 'Test Sender' },
            to: [{ email: 'recipient@example.com', name: 'Recipient' }],
            subject: 'Test Email Subject',
            html: '<h1>Hello World</h1><p>This is a test email from Mailtrap.</p>'
        })
    });

    if (response.ok) {
        const data = await response.json();
        console.log('Test email sent successfully:', data);
    } else {
        console.error('Error sending test email:', response.status, response.statusText);
    }
};

// Call the function to send the email
sendTestEmail();
