Issue a request to the URL https://gateway.sms77.io/api and send the needed variables optionally as HTTP GET or HTTP POST parameters. For security reasons and also when sending larger items to many recipients or for longer SMS texts, we recommend calling via POST. Please make sure that all parameters are transmitted in a URL-encoded form before you send the request.
Authentication
The authentication to the HTTP Api is done by passing your your api key as GET/POST parameter. Please use the following values:
p |
your api key – you will find it in your login under Settings > HTTP Api |
Authentication via HTTP Basic Authentication would be more secure. To do this, send the following header to our API:
Authorization: basic YOUR_API_KEY
Security
To secure your account, we have implemented the following security mechanisms:
1. Api Key
Access to the API is only possible with your API key. If a third party accesses your account, they will still not be able to log in. You can find your Api Key in your login in the HTTP Api settings. You can change the key in the settings.
2. IP Whitelist
To increase security, you can enter one ore more IPs in your login under Account > Settings > HTTP Api, from which it’s allowed to access the HTTP Api via your account.
It is also possible to specify a host name, which is then resolved and checked by the API during the call. Several values can be entered comma-separated. Please note that the whitelist only makes sense in combination with a static IP address.
3. SSL encryption
A call of the API via http:// is possible, however we recommend to use the encrypted transmission via SSL for security reasons. To do this, use the URL https://gateway.sms77.io/api/....[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
