You have set the method to POST whereas your CURL will be using GET

The function node is wrong, `msg.payload` should be an object with key value pairs matching the URL query arguments.

Or you can set `msg.url` and leave it blank in the http-request node. [Set the URL of a request : Node-RED](https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/set-request-url)

apparently your provider has a **node.js** library that makes sending sms messages more easy

So if you read the Documentation of Node-red of how to install and setup [external libraries](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/writing-functions#using-the-functionexternalmodules-option) and use them in a Function node .. the rest is pretty easy according to the example on Github

```auto
const smsapi = new SMSAPI('oAuthToken');

const response = async (): Promise<MessageResponse> => {
  return await smsapi.sms.sendSms('+48605xxxxxx', 'My first message!');
};

```

ps. library found by following this [link](https://www.smsapi.pl/docs#biblioteki)

**[EDIT]** With the http requests there seems to be better better documenation and examples that i dont see with the node.js library .. so try instead this flow :

```auto
[{"id":"b5bdb3e23fbe96ca","type":"function","z":"5847b7aa62131d37","name":"","func":"// curl -H \"Authorization: Bearer token_api_oauth\" \\\n// \"https://api.smsapi.com/sms.do?\\\n// from=sender_name&\\\n// to=44123456789&\\\n// message=message_content&\\\n// format=json\"\n\nlet token_api_oauth = \"token_api_oauth\"\nlet sender_name = \"sender_name\"\nlet to_number = \"44123456789\"\nlet message_content = \"blah blah\"\n\n\nmsg.url = `https://api.smsapi.pl/sms.do?from=${sender_name}&to=${to_number}&message=${message_content}&format=json`\nmsg.method = \"GET\"\nmsg.headers = {\n \"Authorization\" : `Bearer ${token_api_oauth}`\n}\n\n\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"initialize":"","finalize":"","libs":[],"x":490,"y":920,"wires":[["7369d264e46db45e"]]},{"id":"7369d264e46db45e","type":"http request","z":"5847b7aa62131d37","name":"","method":"use","ret":"txt","paytoqs":"ignore","url":"","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","authType":"","senderr":false,"x":680,"y":920,"wires":[["1afe78da8b5b1790"]]},{"id":"1afe78da8b5b1790","type":"debug","z":"5847b7aa62131d37","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":850,"y":920,"wires":[]},{"id":"1be7147b87b23562","type":"inject","z":"5847b7aa62131d37","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","x":320,"y":920,"wires":[["b5bdb3e23fbe96ca"]]}]

the problem was in header content type  
msg.headers={  
'Authorization': 'Bearer \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*',  
'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
