SMS Messaging API

HTTP API to send and receive SMS messages to every country in the world.

Although we fully support this API we suggest using a more modern and feature-rich Omnichannel API.

Overview

  1. Make an HTTPS request to SMS Messaging API
  2. Check the response code and store Message ID to match DLR later
  3. SMS is sent to the handset
  4. Handset responds with Delivery Report (DLR).
  5. If configured Messente forwards the DLR to the callback URL.

Sending an SMS is super simple

# Send SMS
response = api.sms.send({
    "from": "MyDelivery",
    "to": "+44000000000",
    "text": "Your parcel will be delivered at 10AM"
})
print("Message sent:", response.get_sms_id())
    
// Make HTTP call to Messente API
http_build_query([
  'username' => MESSENTE_API_USERNAME,
  'password' => MESSENTE_API_PASSWORD,
  'from' => 'MyDelivery',
  'to' => '+44000000000',
  'text' => 'Your parcel will be delivered at 10AM',
  'dlr-url' => MESSENTE_SMS_DLR_URL
]);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

$response = curl_exec('https://api2.messente.com/send_sms/?');
