Amazon Web ServicesAmazon SQS message-queue API

SendMessage

Delivers a message to the specified queue.

A message can include only XML, JSON, and unformatted text. The following Unicode characters are allowed. For more information, see the W3C specification for characters.

#x9 | #xA | #xD | #x20 to #xD7FF | #xE000 to #xFFFD | #x10000 to #x10FFFF

If a message contains characters outside the allowed set, Amazon SQS rejects the message and returns an InvalidMessageContents error. Ensure that your message body includes only valid characters to avoid this exception.

The complete 23-action Amazon Simple Queue Service API, preserving AWS JSON 1.0, AWS Query compatibility, SigV4, and regional endpoint rules. The web Playground does not yet have an AWS SigV4 and region-selection execution adapter; use the local SDK/CLI to call SQS.
