curling twilio API

[David Williams]

Hi Jose,

Off the top of my head, this would probably look something like the  
following in LC:

post tPostString to  
url("https://AC0afb9e5c70c0fde47904a9a6ff:e6a1bdc2a7a7484d6cdc96e@api*twilio*com/2010-04-01/Accounts/AC0afb9e5c70c0fde47904a9a6ff/Messages.json")

Where tPostString contains the post fields concatenated by & (for the  
example you posted):

To=5034554562&From=+1212022183&Body=test message

You can just sidestep this whole thing if you're on OSX/Linux by accessing  
curl directly with shell():

get shell("curl -X POST   
'https://api*twilio*com/2010-04-01/Accounts/AC0afb9e5c70c0fde47904a9a6ff/Messages.json'  
--data-urlencode 'To=5034554562' --data-urlencode 'From=+1212022183'  
--data-urlencode 'Body=test message' -u  
AC0afb9e5c70c0fde47904a9a6ff:e6a1bdc2a7a7484d6cdc96e")

I would also strongly advise against posting your API keys publicly and  
recommend you change the one you just posted, as there are bots which  
crawl the public-facing web for such keys.

-David
