Contest Brief

Our website code is ASP.NET 2.0 (aspx & aspx.vb pages) with SQL Server 2005.

To give you background: We use SendGrid to send newsletters to people that opt-ed in on our website. Once they register for a free trial account on our website, we want to remove them from SendGrid.

This contest will be split into two (2) parts:
1. Prove to us that you can work with the API. Design a simple aspx webpage that will delete the email. If this works, we will pay $10.
2. Once part 1 is complete, we will let you use TeamViewer to design the real code. Once this is 100% complete, we will pay $20.

See this for more info on the job: http://screencast.com/t/oEIQ5Bsro
Keep in mind that we will not disclose the API passwords. We are dealing with delete queries and this is a contest. We do not feel comfortable giving the passwords to strangers. So, please allow a place to insert the username/password in your submittal.

SendGrid offers API connects. It is possible to delete the email if you know the “List Name” and “Email Address”. Here is more info on their API:

We will be choosing the winners of Part 1 this Friday afternoon PST time. Hopefully you can complete Part 2 the same day. Thank you.
