I’m a Node n00b.

<cfset session.authy_id = 0> <!--- Send the Authy request to enable two-factor auth for the user --->

<cfhttp url="https://api.authy.com/protected/json/users/new" method="post"> <cfhttpparam type="formField" name="api_key" value=”application.api_key"> <cfhttpparam type="formField" name="user[email]" value="reybango@gmail.com"> <cfhttpparam type="formField" name="user[cellphone]" value='#form.cellphone#'> <cfhttpparam type="formField" name="user[country_code]" value='#form.country#'>

</cfhttp>

<!--- Query param to show the JSON response ---> <cfif isDefined( "url.json" )>

<cfdump var="#cfhttp.filecontent#"> <cfabort>

</cfif>

<!--- Convert the JSON response to a CF struct for easier usage ---> <cfset myJSONStruct = deserializeJSON(cfhttp.filecontent)>

<!--- If you get an Authy ID sent back, all is good and we can test their mobile device ---> <cfif myJSONStruct.user.id>

<cfset session.authy_id = myJSONStruct.user.id> <cflocation url="gettoken.cfm" addtoken="true"> <cfabort>

</cfif>

<cfquery name = "GetCourses" dataSource = "cfdocexamples"> SELECT Dept_ID, CorName, CorLevel FROM courseList ORDER by Dept_ID, CorLevel, CorName

</cfquery>

<p><cfoutput query = "GetCourses" group="CorLevel” GroupCaseSensitive="True">
