SMS / POST Demo POC
Proof of Concept
MIS3502 Student Notes: This HTML form is provided as a "proof of concept" to illustrate how a text message can be sent using an API that is provided by a third-party. Please note the following:
- Your goal, as a student, is to translate the jQuery code in this example to an Axios POST request.
- The credentials you need are assigned by your instructor. See your instructor if you need help with that.
- The credentials should be stored *server side* in your Lambda code. Not *client side* as they are here.
- To prevent abuse of the API, all POSTs to the API are logged.
- To prevent abuse of the API, your assigned username will be prepended to every text message.
- To prevent abuse of the API, text messages sent at intervals more frequent than 5 seconds will be blocked.
- As you experiment with this sample code, watch the Web Developer console. Important messages are printed there.
