HTTP and JSON Integration for Clickatell Messaging API

Clickatell provides a REST-based messaging API that replaces traditional SMPP access. The IPWorks HTTP and JSON components can be used together to construct and send properly formatted JSON requests for message delivery.

Sending a Message Using HTTP and JSON

The message payload is created using the JSON component and then sent through an HTTP POST request to the Clickatell endpoint.

      //c#
      Http http = new Http();
      http.OnTransfer += (obj, ev) =>
      {
        if (ev.Direction == 1)
          Debug.WriteLine("Response:\r\n" + ev.Text);
      };
      Json json = new Json();
      json.StartObject();
      json.PutProperty("content", "Hi! This is a test message.", 2);
      json.PutName("to");
      json.StartArray();
      json.PutValue("15555555555", 2);
      json.EndArray();
      // json.PutProperty("from", "15555555555", 2); 
      // If your integration supports two-way messaging, set the from number here.
      json.PutProperty("binary", "false", 4);
      json.PutProperty("clientMessageId", "uuid", 2);
      json.EndObject();
      json.Flush();
      string request = json.OutputData;
      Debug.WriteLine(json.OutputData);
      http.Authorization = "Your API Key Here";
      http.ContentType = "application/json";
      http.Accept = "application/json";
      http.PostData = request;
      http.Post("https://platform.clickatell.com/messages");

The JSON structure defines message content, recipients, and optional parameters such as client message ID. The HTTP component handles authentication and transmission to the Clickatell REST endpoint.
