If you want to just send SMS and don't want to use our wrappers, it can be done with the minimum of effort using our basic SMS API. If you have any integration questions then just call us, 0117 205 0202 – option 3.
Skills Required:
- Understanding of the HTTP (GET) protocol
- Some knowledge of a programming language
- Basic XML
Fast and easy: send SMS
In your preferred programming language all you need to do is generate a GET request like this:
https://api.textmarketer.co.uk/gateway/?username=u&password=p&to=4477777777&message=test+message&orig=my_script
If you want to send to multiple numbers, use a comma delimited list. Here is an example:
https://api.textmarketer.co.uk/gateway/?username=u&password=p&to=4477777777,4477777778,4477777779&message=test+message&orig=my_script
Beware that, due to limitations on the HTTP protocol, sending to multiple numbers is limited to 500 recipients. So, if you want to send the same SMS to more than 500 recipients, e.g. 750 recipients, you'll have to send it in two batches: 500 + 250.
