This is curl code that comes from the Twilio web site

curl -X POST https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json
! --data-urlencode "Body=Hi there"
! --data-urlencode "From=+15017122661"
! --data-urlencode "To=+15558675310"
! -u $TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID:$TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN

I downloaded the shareware version of "West Wind Internet and client tools for Visual FoxPro. I want to be able to sens SMS.

Here's what I tried so far.

DO c:\outilsvfp\westwind\wwClient

*** POST Request TEXT TO lcJson NOSHOW { "Account": "MyAccountInformation", "AuthToken": "MyTokenInformation", "Body": "Simple test ", "From": "+MyTwilioPhoneNumber", "To": " "+PhoneNumberIWantToCall" } ENDTEXT loHttp = CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp") loHttp.cContentType = "application/json" lcResult = loHttp.Post("https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/",lcJson)

IF loHttp.nError # 0 MESSAGEBOX( loHttp.cErrorMsg) ENDIF IF loHttp.cResultcode # "200" MESSAGEBOX( "Invalid HTTP response code: " + loHttp.cResultCode) ENDIF MESSAGEBOX( lcResult)

That doesn't work

the result to MESSAGEBOX( loHttp.cErrorMsg) is Method not allowed

The result to MESSAGEBOX( "Invalid HTTP response code: " + loHttp.cResultCode) is Invalid HTTP response code 405"

The result to MESSAGEBOX( lcResult) is

20004Method not allowedhttps://www.twilio.com/docs/errors/20004405"

html UPGRADE

I thought that something like this could help

loHttp.AddProperty( "Body", "Simple test")

instead of all the TEXT TO lcJson. No same errors 😦

Can you helo me?

Please edit your post and format the code you posted so we can more easily read your traces and code.

Denis,

The CURL trace asks for URL Encoded values not JSON. If you're going to match what the CURL trace has you need to use AddPostKey("key", "value") to add the data not JSON. The method not found is likely because you're sending a content type of application/json when it's expecting application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

This:

curl -X POST https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json \
*!*	--data-urlencode "Body=Hi there" \
*!*	--data-urlencode "From=+15017122661" \
*!*	--data-urlencode "To=+15558675310" \
*!*	-u $TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID:$TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN

translates to:

loHttp = CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp")

*** This should do the BASIC auth that is requested above
loHttp.cUsername = "TWILLIO_ACCOUNT_SID"
loHttp.cPassword = "TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN"

* Alternately add the AUTH Header explicitly
* loHttp.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + STRCONV("TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID:TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN",13))

*** Form post vars
loHttp.AddPostKey("Body","Hi there")
loHttp.AddPostKey("From","+15017122661")
loHttp.AddPostKey("To","+15017122661")

lcJson = loHttp.Post("https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json")

Denis,

The Twilio documentation is rather confusing. I use the following code for Twilio SMS messages.

~bob

    * Send message via Twilio
    oHTTP    = CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp")
    oHTTP.nconnecttimeout    = 2
    oHTTP.AddPostKey("ACCOUNT_SID","ACd02xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
    oHTTP.AddPostKey("AUTH_TOKEN","e527f9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
    oHTTP.AddPostKey("To",lcPhone)
    oHTTP.AddPostKey("From","+12125551212")
    oHTTP.AddPostKey("Body",lcName + ", " + lcMessage)

    * Call Twilio API
    lcStatus    = oHTTP.HTTPGet("https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACd02xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Messages.json","ACd02xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","e527f9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","")
    IF oHTTP.cResultCode <> "201"
        * Query Error.
    ENDIF

    oHTTP = .NULL.

Thank you very much Rick and Bob!

Hello

I am longtime VFP developer reviewing WW Internet & Client Tools with a need to use Twilio to both send and receive SMS. We are looking to expand our VFP scheduling solution to send a SMS (i.e. offer a shift to work) to employees one at a time and wait xx seconds for an acceptance reply. Currently this is being done by phone using text-to-speech over a VOIP line. Would anyone have sample code to share showing how to send and receive SMS to help get us started. I beleive the bigger challenge is receiving an acceptance linked to an identifer for the shift offered. Thank you.

Just a courtesy follow up to let you know that I got Twilio send and receive SMS working using CURL examples. None of this would have been possible without wwHTTP and wwJsonSerializer classes. Going to now purchase the WW Internet & Client Tools. Will also be using SMTP and FTP features along with the DotNetBridge class. Thank you Rick for making this available.

Good to hear, Robert.

Using these tools you should be able to call just about any JSON based service. The hard part isn't the FoxPro bits - usually it's figuring out what exactly you have to send and using a tool like Postman or West Wind WebSurge to check API behavior before jumping into code is a good idea.

+++ Rick ---

Can you post your solution, a working example will save time for others (like me) rather than having to recreate the wheel... so to speak.

Uh, there's code in this thread...

+++ Rick ---

Yes the code to send SMS via Twilio is shown in this thread. Our solution sends SMS and then fetches replies over a fixed interval based on a timestamp range (no webhooks). I have attached a picture to demonstrate messages sent/received/replied.
