Using REST API, I am trying to send an email to a list (not a Triggered Send). I seem to be having trouble, can you help?

Question

I want to "Schedule a send using the Send API” (REST) I was following the documentation, but it was removed around 7/6/2016. Is this not possible using rest anymore?

I was implementing "Schedule an integrated send using the given definition.” but the page was removed as well. I was hoping to follow the doc "Send Your Email to Your List”. I searched: Fuel SDKs & Fuel APIs but it seems that that functionality has been removed for rest, is this the case?

• Under "Fuel SDKs, the only “Send” option is for “Triggered Sends”, how do I send an email to a list without using Triggered Sends?

• I have implemented the following libraries and they are working well: FuelSDK-Node (fuel-soap, fuel-rest, fuel-auth). They help with everything up to the point of sending the email. I am using them to send Triggered emails, but I also need to send user-initiated emails as well.

Here is a non-working attempt at what was in the documentation previously:

mcloudTools.messageDefinitionSend = function() {

    var restOptions  = {
        auth: {
            clientId: process.env.MCLOUD_CLIENTID
            , clientSecret: process.env.MCLOUD_SECRET
        }
        // , origin: 'https://www.exacttargetapis.com' // default --> https://www.exacttargetapis.com
    };

    var sendId = '2177425';
    var options = {
        uri: 'https://www.exacttargetapis.com/data/v1/integration/send/salesforce/' + sendId + '/schedule',

        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },

        json: {
            "Schedule": {
                "StartImmediately": true,
                "AllRecipientsOptedIn": true
            }
        }
    };


    return new BPromise(function(fulfill, reject) {

        var RestClient = new FuelRest(restOptions);
        return RestClient
            .post(options)
            .then(function(response) {
                fulfill(response);
            })
            .catch(function(err) {
                reject(err);
            });

    });
};

Here is my triggered send, this works fine, what I need is a process for sending an email to a list or a User-Initiated email.

mcloudTools.messageDefinitionSends = function(options) {

    // var options = {
    //     uri: '/messaging/v1/messageDefinitionSends/' + 'key:' + sendKey + '/send',
    //
    //     headers: {
    //         'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    //     },
    //     json: {
    //         "From": {
    //             "Address": fromAddress,
    //             "Name": "Sender"
    //         },
    //         "To": {
    //             "Address": 'first.last@company.com'
    //             , "SubscriberKey": "SDKSubscriberDS"
    //             , "ContactAttributes": {
    //                 "SubscriberAttributes": {
    //                     "ConversionReferenceId": req.attributes.uuid_card_url
    //                 }
    //             }
    //         }
    //         , "OPTIONS": {
    //             "RequestType": "ASYNC"
    //         }
    //     }
    // };

    return new BPromise(function(fulfill, reject) {

        var restOptions  = {
            auth: {
                clientId: process.env.MCLOUD_CLIENTID
                , clientSecret: process.env.MCLOUD_SECRET
            }
            // , origin: 'https://www.exacttargetapis.com' // default --> https://www.exacttargetapis.com
        };
        var RestClient = new FuelRest(restOptions);
        return RestClient
            .post(options)
            .then(function(response) {
                fulfill(response);
            })
            .catch(function(err) {
                reject(err);
            });

    });
};
