Status code error while posting json data using google script - google-apps-script

Question

I was writing an app script to send an sms. In the sms api document section, it's written that with the following, sms can be sent:
POST http://clients.muthofun.net/api/v3/sendsms/json
Host: http://clients.muthofun.net
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: */*
{
"authentication":{
"username":"test",
"password":"test"
},
"messages":[
{
"sender":"044XXXXXXXX",
"text":"Hello",
"recipients":[
{
"gsm":"88017XXXXXXXX"
}
]
}
]
}
So I write the following script code,
modified as #Tanaike said
function myFunction() {
var _auth = {
"username": "*****",
"password": "*****"
};
var rec = {
"gsm": "xxxxxxxxxxx"
};
var msg = {
"sender": "xxxxxxxxxxx",
"text": "Hello",
"recipients": [rec]
};
var payload = {
"authentication": _auth,
"messages": [msg]
};
_payload = JSON.stringify(payload)
var options = {
'method' : 'POST',
'contentType': 'application/json',
"accept": "*/*",
"payload": _payload
};
var url = "http://clients.muthofun.net/api/v3/sendsms/json";
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
Logger.log(response);
}
But the actual response is:
{
"results":[
{
"status":"0",
"messageid":"10210011344550330860",
"destination":"88017XXXXXXXX"
}
]
}
but from the Logger function I get the following response
{
"results":[
{
"status":"-5",
"messageid":"",
"destination":"8801552555645"
}
]
}
Is it because I missed out a square bracket in the recipients and messages section? Or I am doing something wrong while sending the post request to the url?

How about this modification? In your sample request body, messages is as follows.
{
"authentication": {
"username": "test",
"password": "test"
},
"messages": [
{
"sender": "044XXXXXXXX",
"text": "Hello",
"recipients": [
{
"gsm": "88017XXXXXXXX"
}
]
}
]
}
In your script, it is as follows.
{
"authentication": {
"username": "*****",
"password": "*****"
},
"messages": {
"sender": "xxxxxxxxxxx",
"text": "Hello",
"recipients": {
"gsm": "xxxxxxxxxxx"
}
}
}
In your script, the values of messages and recipients are not array. So how about this modification?
Modified script :
From :
var msg = {
"sender": "xxxxxxxxxxx",
"text": "Hello",
"recipients": rec
};
var payload = {
"authentication": _auth,
"messages": msg
};
To :
var msg = {
"sender": "xxxxxxxxxxx",
"text": "Hello",
"recipients": [rec] // Modified
};
var payload = {
"authentication": _auth,
"messages": [msg] // Modified
};
And accept should be included in headers.
I'm not sure whether this modification resolves your issue, because I cannot test it. If this was not useful for you, can you provide the detail situation of the error?
Edit :
In this modification, option was modified.
var options = {
"method" : "POST",
"contentType": "application/json",
"headers": {"accept": "*/*"}, // Modified
"payload": payload // Modified
};

Rather than doing json request I made a http request to send sms.
Here is the code:
function myFunction() {
var username = "*****";
var password = "****";
var msg = "Harry kane didn't score!!! why!!!! why on August!!! :'(";
var phone = "xxxxxxxxxxx";
var url = "http://clients.muthofun.com:8901/esmsgw/sendsms.jsp?user="+username+"&password="+password+"&mobiles="+phone+"&sms="+msg;
Logger.log(url)
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
Logger.log(response);
}
