Overview: Connecting to our applications

To connect to Traffic, our messaging solution, to automate message delivery, there are several options:
An HTTP REST API that is simpler to implement;
or by using the SMPP messaging protocol to allow standardized access, albeit with limited functionality;
or using the email gateway interface where you can pass SMS message information as email - this is best suited for lower volumes and situations where you are limited in what alterations you can make to your software.

HTTP REST API

For the HTTP API see this article: Using HTTP API version 0.16

Legacy versions are still active and available for backwards compatibility.
Using HTTP API version 0.15.
Using HTTP API version 0.14
Using HTTP API version 0.12
Using HTTP API version 0.11

Email gateway (SMTP API) for SMS sending

This solution is only suggested for sending lower volumes and for cases where it's hard or impossible to use other connection methods. You can read more about its usage here: Sending SMS from email

2-way and premium-rate messaging

You can connect to Premium, our 2-way messaging and premium-rate messaging solution as outlined here. You will need an account to access the system and get an API key to make API calls.
