Failure in SendMessage

Hi,

I am trying to call the SendMessage method, however documentation is very vague about just what the right parameters are.
I am getting
{"result":null,"error":{"code":"Client.InputInvalid","message":"Error: missing required message","detail":null}}

My code is (which sets the parameters):

CODE

                $msg = new stdClass;
                $msg->message = new stdClass;
                $msg->message->subject = $subject;
                $msg->message->to = new stdClass;
                $msg->message->to->email = $email;
                $msg->message->from = new stdClass;
                $msg->message->from->email = $email;
                $msg->message->simplebody = new stdClass;
                $msg->message->simplebody->html = $message;
                $msg->message->simplebody->text = $message;
                echo $ymc->SendMessage($msg, $oaToken);

Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi,

Can you please var_dump your request? Looking at the message there is something in your request which is not being set properly.

Try this

CODE

                $msg = new stdClass();
                $msg->message = new stdClass();
                $msg->message->subject = $subject;
                $msg->message->to->name = "toemail";
                $msg->message->to->email = $email;
                $msg->message->from->name = "test";
                $msg->message->from->email = $email;
                $msg->message->simplebody = new stdClass();
                $msg->message->simplebody->html = $message;
                $msg->message->simplebody->text = $message;

                echo $ymc->SendMessage($msg, $oaToken)

Thanks for helping.

I am still getting the same thing.

This is the params structure passed to the API call:

CODE

{"method":"SendMessage","params":{"message":{"subject":"testing t","to":{"name":"toemail","email":"danilovich.b@gmail.com"},"from":{"name":"test","email":"danilovich.b@gmail.com"},"simplebody":{"html":"here you go<\/a> ttb","text":"here you go<\/a> ttb"}}}}

These are the headers:

CODE

Authorization: OAuth realm="yahooapis.com",oauth_nonce="fcf57f92e53450cd7b3f53af17c8b055",oauth_timestamp="1277833039",oauth_version="1.0",oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",oauth_consumer_key="dj0yJmk9akZQUFRZdlVBM3lGJmQ9WVdrOU5reEtjVE5ZTkhVbWNHbzlNQS0tJnM9Y29uc3VtZXJz

Also, note the example here: http://developer.yahoo.com/mail/docs/user_...endMessage.html.
It has very little parameters in the request.

Hi,

The request should be json encoded before you send it to the server. Can you please confirm this? also can you tell me what is your endpoint?

For e.g.
{"method":"SendMessage","params":[{"message":{"subject":"hi","from":{"email":"test1@test.com"},"to":[{"email":"test2@test.com"}],"body":{"data":"Test number is XYV0993","type":"text","subtype":"plain","charset":"us-ascii"}}}]}

Compare the above with your request and you would no the difference. If it still doesn't work then please do paste the entire request and also tell me the response you are getting. Thanks

I am having the *exact* same problem.

I have a PHP script:

script.php

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Messages
// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$msg_email_d = sql_request('SELECT msg_email FROM accounts WHERE id = '.$aid);
$msg_email = $message[0]['msg_email'];

$savecopy = FALSE;
$subject = 'Check this out';
/*
SimpleMessageBody Class

text Text of the message body
html HTML version of the message body.
attachment In the form "upload://id", where id is returned by the Upload Attachment method
*/
$simplebody = new stdclass();
$simplebody->text = $msg_email;
$simplebody->html = $msg_email;
?>

Widget

/*
ComposeMessage Class

subject Subject for message
inreplyto In reply to this message, if any.
from Source email {ComposeAddress}
to Destination email {ComposeAddress}
replyto Reply to email {ComposeAddress}
cc {ComposeAddress}
bcc {ComposeAddress}
body {ComposeMessagePart}
meta Meta data
simplebody {SimpleMessageBody}

*/
foreach ($contacts as $contact)
{
/*
ComposeAddress Class

name Email address or Yahooid

*/
$address = new stdclass();
$address->name = $contact;

$message = new stdclass();
$message->subject = $subject;
$message->simplebody = $simplebody;
$message->to = $address;

$session->SendMessage($message, $savecopy);
$batchcall = new stdclass();
$batchcall->SendMessage = new stdclass();
$batchexecute = new stdclass();
$batchexecute->call = $batchcall;
$batchresponse = $session->BatchExecute($batchexecute);
echo 'Sending message to ' . $address->name . ' ('. var_dump($batchresponse) . ")
\n";

}

As you can see, I go through my contact list and in my test I have one e-mail sent. The reponse I get back is:
object(stdClass)#14 (1)
{
["response"]=> array(1)
{
[0]=> object(stdClass)#15 (2)
{
["ErrorResponse"]=> object(stdClass)#16 (3)
{
["code"]=> string(24) "ymws:Client.InputInvalid"
["string"]=> string(31) "Error: missing required message"
["detail"]=> NULL

}
["success"]=> bool(false)

}

}

}

..apparently the exact same response... what could be going on wrong here?
