REST API

Why use this API?

SMSPortal's REST API is simple, easy to use and ideal for the programmatic sending of SMS, regardless of volume. The API is designed using REST standards over HTTP and accepts JSON data.

The REST API allows you to engage with your customers using one or two-way communication via SMS messages. You can send one or more SMSes by making HTTPS calls directly to the REST API, and configure your integration to allow for two-way messaging by making use of webhooks.

When to use this API?

The REST API is ideal for sending bulk SMSes securely, reliably and in real-time. It allows you to add robust, global messaging capability to your application, website or system with ease.

You can also use the REST API in test mode, which does not affect your live data or interact with the mobile network operators.
