How to Send MMS Messages with Node.js

The Vonage Messages API has been updated to allow sending MMS from US 10DLC, TFN, and Shortcode numbers in the dashboard to other numbers within the United States. To send an MMS using Node.js with the official vonage-node-sdk client library, a basic understanding of JavaScript & Node.js is required, along with a fresh US SMS & MMS capable number. A Vonage API account is also necessary, which includes a public/private key pair for authentication. The Vonage Messages API can be used to send MMS messages from one virtual number to another, but only for A2P (Application to Person) use cases. To set up the API, a new application must be created in the dashboard, and a status URL and inbound URL must be specified, which can point to a mockbin or ngrok service. The code provided uses the vonage-node-sdk client library to send an MMS message using a Node.js script, which logs any errors to the console if the message fails to send, otherwise it logs the message UUID.
