Sending SMS Messages - Code Examples:

Send A Single Message

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

url = URI.parse('https://app.eztexting.com/api/sending')

#prepare post data
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
req.set_form_data({'user'=>'username', 'pass'=>'userpassword' , 'phonenumber'=>'2125551234', 'subject'=>'test', 'message'=>'test message', 'express'=>'1'})


http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true if url.scheme == "https"  # enable SSL/TLS
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
http.start {
  http.request(req) {|res|
    puts res.body
  }
}

Send Multiple Messages

When sending the same message to multiple recipients we recommend our REST API.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'net/https'
require 'uri'

messages = [
 {:phone=>'2125551234', :subject=>'test', :message=>'test message'},
 {:phone=>'2127846501', :subject=>'test2', :message=>'test message2'},
 {:phone=>'2127846502', :subject=>'test3', :message=>'test message3'}
]


url = URI.parse('https://app.eztexting.com/api/sending')



http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true if url.scheme == "https"  # enable SSL/TLS
http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
http.start {

  messages.each {|msg|
    #prepare post data
    req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
    req.set_form_data({'user'=>'username', 'pass'=>'userpassword' , 'phonenumber'=>msg[:phone], 'subject'=>msg[:subject], 'message'=>msg[:message], 'express'=>'1'})
    http.request(req) {|res|
      puts msg[:phone] +": "+ res.body
    }
  }
}

Receiving Keyword Submissions - Code Examples:

class Ex3Controller < ApplicationController
  def index

    if !sender.nil? && sender > ""
      #Save incoming messages
      File.open("receivelog.txt", 'a') {|f| f.write(sender+"\n") }

      #Return a response SMS message
      responsetext = "Thank you for the message!"
      render :text => "{SMS:TEXT}{}{}{"+sender+"}{"+responsetext+"}"
    else
      render :text => "The Ruby on Rails script is waiting for messages"
    end
  end
