1. Node.js (Axios / Fetch)

Send a template message via Node.js:

// Install axios: npm install axios
const axios = require('axios');

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const baseUrl = 'https://api.automateit.rockybits.com/v1';

async function sendTemplateMessage() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.post(
      `${baseUrl}/messages`,
      {
        to: '2348012345678', // Recipient phone number
        type: 'template',
        template: {
          name: 'welcome_template',
          language: {
            code: 'en'
          },
          components: [
            {
              type: 'body',
              parameters: [
                { type: 'text', text: 'Chidi' }
              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      },
      {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }
      }
    );

    console.log('Message sent successfully:', response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('API Error:', error.response ? error.response.data : error.message);
  }
}

sendTemplateMessage();

2. Python (Requests)

Send a text message via Python:

# Install requests: pip install requests
import requests
import json

api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
url = "https://api.automateit.rockybits.com/v1/messages"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

payload = {
    "to": "2348012345678",
    "type": "text",
    "text": {
        "body": "Hello from python requests!"
    }
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload))

if response.status_code == 200:
    print("Success:", response.json())
else:
    print("Error:", response.status_code, response.text)
