>SendGrid does like curl, by the looks of it, though once you are authenticated it seems like you could use a straight HTTP POST (e.g. with the "MSXML2.XMLHTTP" or "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP" COM objects in Windows). Not sure if there is a way to use straight POSTs, but that would do away with the need for curl (wish they provided Postman examples...wait, perhaps this link is helpful: https://sendgrid.com/blog/sendgrid-v3-api-postman-2/).

>As I said, though, using straight POSTs, as outlined in the Postman samples, might work better. I have been able to perform almost any web service calls straight from FoxPro using the "MSXML2.XMLHTTP" or "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP" COM objects in Windows...
