Integrating Mailgun with Ionic

I want to send email without using email composer, so I followed tutorial from https://www.thepolyglotdeveloper.com/2016/05/send-emails-ionic-2-mobile-app-via-rackspace-mailgun-api/ to use Mailgun API. Since Http from "@angular/http" has been deprecated, the code from tutorial is not working anymore. Here is what I have so far:

I replaced

import {Http, Request, RequestMethod} from "@angular/http";

with

import {HttpClient, HttpHeaders} from '@angular/common/http';

and send method is

send() {
    this.http.post(this.mailgunUrl + "/messages",
    body: "[email protected]&to=" + "[email protected]" + "&subject=" + "test subject" + "&text=" + "test message sent", 
    {
        headers: {'Authorization': 'Basic ' + this.mailgunApiKey}
    }).subscribe(success => {
        console.log("SUCCESS -> " + JSON.stringify(success));
    }, error => {
        console.log("ERROR -> " + JSON.stringify(error));
    });
}

http: HttpClient is added to the parameter for the constructor. I also added

import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

to app.motule.ts file. When I run, I get this error:

POST https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mydomainthaticopiedfrommailgunwebsite.mailgun.org/messages 401 (UNAUTHORIZED)

ERROR -> {"headers":{"normalizedNames":{},"lazyUpdate":null},"status":401,"statusText":"UNAUTHORIZED","url":"https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mydomainthaticopiedfrommailgunwebsite.mailgun.org/messages","ok":false,"name":"HttpErrorResponse","message":"Http failure response for https://api.mailgun.net/v3/mydomainthaticopiedfrommailgunwebsite.mailgun.org/messages: 401 UNAUTHORIZED","error":"Forbidden"}

I also added CORS Chrome extension. What is the correct way to send email using Mailgun API on Ionic?

When you use this.mailgunApiKey, what's its value? If you are using your Mailgun API key it's wrong. You should use:

"Authorization", "Basic " + btoa("username:password")

Where username is 'api' and password is your API Key.
