Trouble with api call to notify service

Configuration
1

The following configuration and test script work fine and post a message to the hipchat room. However, I am not able to consume this as a restapi. What am I doing wrong here?

Configuration.yaml

notify:
  - name: hipchat
    platform: hipchat
    token: <token value>
    room: <room number>

Scripts.yaml

test_notify:
     alias: Test notification
     sequence:
       - service: notify.hipchat
         data:
             message: "HipChat Test Message"

Rest API from IFTTT:
http://domain:port/api/services/notify/notify?api_password=pwd
POST
application/JSON
Request content:
{“message”:“HipChat IFTTT Test Message”}

Nevermind - there was something wrong with the restapi interface which was being blocked.
