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:

  1. Your goal, as a student, is to translate the jQuery code in this example to an Axios POST request.
  2. The credentials you need are assigned by your instructor. See your instructor if you need help with that.
  3. The credentials should be stored *server side* in your Lambda code. Not *client side* as they are here.
  4. To prevent abuse of the API, all POSTs to the API are logged.
  5. To prevent abuse of the API, your assigned username will be prepended to every text message.
  6. To prevent abuse of the API, text messages sent at intervals more frequent than 5 seconds will be blocked.
  7. As you experiment with this sample code, watch the Web Developer console. Important messages are printed there.
