SMS API
A REST or HTTP interface that allows developers to send, receive, and manage SMS messages from their applications using simple API calls.
An SMS API (Application Programming Interface) provides a programmatic way to send and receive text messages. Instead of manually sending SMS from a phone, developers make HTTP requests to an API endpoint.
How MySMSGate API Works
curl -X POST https://mysmsgate.net/api/v1/send \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"to": "+1234567890", "message": "Hello!"}'Key features of a good SMS API:
- Simple authentication — Bearer token (no complex OAuth)
- JSON request/response — easy to integrate
- Delivery callbacks — know when SMS was delivered
- Balance tracking — monitor credit usage
