AWS SDK for Go V1 has reached end-of-support. We recommend that you migrate to [AWS SDK for Go V2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v2/developer-guide/). For additional details and information on how to migrate, please refer to this [announcement](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs//developer/announcing-end-of-support-for-aws-sdk-for-go-v1-on-july-31-2025/).

# Getting Amazon SES Statistics


The following example demonstrates how to use the AWS SDK for Go to get statistics about Amazon SES. Use this information to avoid damaging your reputation when emails are bounced or rejected.

```
package main

import (
    //go get -u github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/ses"

    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    // Initialize a session that the SDK uses to load
    // credentials from the shared credentials file ~/.aws/credentials
    // and configuration from the shared configuration file ~/.aws/config.
    sess := session.Must(session.NewSessionWithOptions(session.Options{
        SharedConfigState: session.SharedConfigEnable,
    }))

    // Create an SES session.
    svc := ses.New(sess)
    
    // Attempt to send the email.
    result, err := svc.GetSendStatistics(nil)
    
    // Display any error message
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err.Error())
        return
    }

    dps := result.SendDataPoints

    fmt.Println("Got", len(dps), "datapoints")
    fmt.Println("")

    for _, dp := range dps {
        fmt.Println("Timestamp: ", dp.Timestamp)
        fmt.Println("Attempts:  ", aws.Int64Value(dp.DeliveryAttempts))
        fmt.Println("Bounces:   ", aws.Int64Value(dp.Bounces))
        fmt.Println("Complaints:", aws.Int64Value(dp.Complaints))
        fmt.Println("Rejects:   ", aws.Int64Value(dp.Rejects))
        fmt.Println("")
    }
}
```
