Twilio: Send SMS using Basic Authentication

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how to use Twilio to send an SMS message using Basic authentication. Rust

// Demonstrates how to use Basic Authentication in a REST API call for Twilio.
// Sends an SMS text message..

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

let rest = chilkat::Rest::new();

// Use Basic Authentication.
// Your Twilio Account SID is the username.
// Your Twilio Auth Token is the password.
let _ = rest.set_auth_basic("TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID", "TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN").is_ok();

// Make the initial connection (without sending a request yet) to Twilio.
let b_tls = true;
let port = 443;
let b_auto_reconnect = true;
if rest.connect("api.twilio.com", port, b_tls, b_auto_reconnect).is_err() {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Provide the information for the SMS text message:
let _ = rest.add_query_param("To", "+16518675309").is_ok();
let _ = rest.add_query_param("From", "+15005550006").is_ok();
let _ = rest.add_query_param("Body", "Hey Jenny! Good luck on the bar exam!").is_ok();
let _ = rest.add_query_param("MediaUrl", "http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1075/1404618563_3ed9a44a3a.jpg").is_ok();

// Send the SMS text message.
// Your Twilio Account SID is part of the URI path:
let Ok(response_json) = rest.full_request_form_url_encoded("POST", "/2010-04-01/Accounts/TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json") else {
    println!("{}", rest.last_error_text());
    return;
};

// When successful, the response status code will equal 201.
if rest.response_status_code() != 201 {
    // Examine the request/response to see what happened.
    println!("response status code = {}", rest.response_status_code());
    println!("response status text = {}", rest.response_status_text());
    println!("response header: {}", rest.response_header());
    println!("response body (if any): {}", response_json);
    println!("---");
    println!("LastRequestStartLine: {}", rest.last_request_start_line());
    println!("LastRequestHeader: {}", rest.last_request_header());
    return;
}

// The response is JSON.  We'll show how to get a few bits of information from it.
// A full sample JSON response is shown below..

let json = chilkat::JsonObject::new();
json.set_emit_compact(false);
let _ = json.load(&response_json).is_ok();

// First show the entire JSON.
println!("{}", json.emit().unwrap_or_default());

// Now get some individual pieces of information:
println!("sid: {}", json.string_of("sid").unwrap_or_default());
println!("body: {}", json.string_of("body").unwrap_or_default());
println!("media: {}", json.string_of("subresource_uris.media").unwrap_or_default());

println!("Success.");
