Send TextLocal SMS using Node.js

smsClient.js

//This code was posted for an article at https://codingislove.com/send-sms-developers/

const axios = require("axios");

const tlClient = axios.create({
  baseURL: "https://api.textlocal.in/",
  params: {
    apiKey: "YOUR API KEY", //Text local api key
    sender: "6 CHARACTER SENDER ID"
  }
});

const smsClient = {
  sendPartnerWelcomeMessage: user => {
    if (user && user.phone && user.name) {
      const params = new URLSearchParams();
      params.append("numbers", [parseInt("91" + user.phone)]);
      params.append(
        "message",
        `Hi ${user.name},

Welcome to iWheels, Download our app to get bookings from our customers with better pricing. 
https://iwheels.co`
      );
      tlClient.post("/send", params);
    }
  },
  sendVerificationMessage: user => {
    if (user && user.phone) {
      const params = new URLSearchParams();
      params.append("numbers", [parseInt("91" + user.phone)]);
      params.append(
        "message",
        `Your iWheels verification code is ${user.verifyCode}`
      );
      tlClient.post("/send", params);
    }
  }
};

module.exports = smsClient;

// Now import the client in any other file or wherever required and run these functions
// const smsClient = require("./smsClient");
// smsClient.sendVerificationMessage(user)

I am getting this error
{
errors: [ { code: 204, message: 'Invalid message content' } ],
status: 'failure'
}
anyone solved it ?

I am getting this error { errors: [ { code: 204, message: 'Invalid message content' } ], status: 'failure' } anyone solved it ?

I guess it is because your message format might not be matching the textlocal template created to send messages. You can check the template on going to textlocal dashboard and selecting the "Send" drop down -> "Send text messages". You would see "Message Details" on the left hand side where you would also be able to see "Templates".

I'm getting this error
errors: [ { code: 3, message: 'Invalid login details' } ],)

what should i do in there place can you please let me know

@ramusarithak My code is as follows:

params.append("numbers", countryCode + phone); params.append( "message", Your OTP for {COMPANY-NAME} login is ${SmsService.otp}. Do not share your OTP with anyone. - {COMPANY-NAME}`,
);
params.append("apiKey", process.env.apiKey);
params.append("sender", process.env.sender);

fetch(`${process.env.textLocalBaseURL}/send`, { method: "POST", body: params });`

You get the api key in textlocal in Settings->API keys and sender from Send-> Send Text messages -> (On the left you would see "Messaage Details" and the sender name)
Text local baseurl is https://api.textlocal.in/

@sufiyan1234 Thanks for share this info!

hii @ranjithkumar8352 i am getting error :
{
errors: [ { code: 80, message: 'Invalid template' } ],
status: 'failure'
}
I am using test sender id & test message template content

This works for typescript

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts";
import { encode } from "https://deno.land/std/encoding/base64.ts";

const sendSMS = async (apikey: string, numbers: string, sender: string, message: string) => {
const url = 'https://api.textlocal.in/send/?';
const params = new URLSearchParams({
apikey: apikey,
numbers: numbers,
sender: sender,
message: message,
});

const requestInit: RequestInit = {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
},
body: params.toString(),
};

const response = await fetch(url, requestInit);
const result = await response.text();
return result;
};

serve(async (req) => {
if (req.method === "POST") {
try {
const testapikey = Deno.env.get("TEXTLOCAL_API_KEY");
const testnumbers = "number";
const sendertest = "sender";
const messagetest = message;

       const result = await sendSMS(testapikey, testnumbers, sendertest, messagetest);
  return new Response(result, {
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    status: 200,
  });
} catch (error) {
  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ error: error.message }), {
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    status: 500,
  });
}

} else {
return new Response("Method Not Allowed", { status: 405 });
}
});

var url = 'https://api.textlocal.in/send/?apikey=<API_KEY>&numbers=&sender=TXTLCL&message=' + encodeURIComponent('OTP to login to app is 123456');
axios
.get(url)
.then(function (response) {
console.log(response.data);
})
.catch(function (error) {
console.log(error);
});

Thank you champ
