SMSAPI
Overview
SMS Local SMS API allows you to test sending SMS messages to any destination through a REST API. Each message is identified by a unique random ID so that users can always check the status of a message using the given endpoint. SMS Local SMS API uses HTTP verbs and a RESTful endpoint structure with an access key (token) that is used as the API Authorization. Request and response payloads are formatted as JSON using UTF-8 encoding and URL encoded values.
API Endpoint
