Sending emails with Swift using Mailgun - swift

Question

func test() {
let session = URLSession.shared
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandbox(Personal info).mailgun.org/messages")!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let data = "from: Excited User <(Personal info)>&to: [bar#example.com,(Personal info)]&subject:Hello&text:Testinggsome Mailgun awesomness!"
request.httpBody = data.data(using: .ascii)
request.setValue("key-(Personal info)", forHTTPHeaderField: "api")
let task = session.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
}
if let response = response {
print("url = \(response.url!)")
print("response = \(response)")
let httpResponse = response as! HTTPURLResponse
print("response code = \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
})
task.resume()
}
Currently running with the above code and I am getting a 401 error. I have confirmed that the credentials are correct. Any suggestions?

TRY

let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/{edited_out}/messages")! as URL)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let credentials = "api:key-{omitted}"
request.setValue("Basic \(credentials.toBase64())", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
let data = "from: Swift Email <(test#test.com)>&to: [my_email_address#gmail.com,(my_email_address#gmail.com)]&subject:Hello&text:Testing_some_Mailgun_awesomness"
request.httpBody = data.data(using: String.Encoding.ascii)
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
}
if let response = response {
print("url = \(response.url!)")
print("response = \(response)")
let httpResponse = response as! HTTPURLResponse
print("response code = \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
})
task.resume()
