SMS API (1.0.2)

Introduction

Messaging API allows you to send and receive text messages to users around the globe via multiple channels: SMS, Viber, Whatsapp.

If you use Postman, you can quickly test all of the API calls by importing this Postman collection:

Run in Postman

Overview

The SMS Connexion™ Messaging API is RESTful and is served only over HTTPS. It returns HTTP response codes to indicate errors. It also accepts and returns JSON in the HTTP body.

You can use your favorite HTTP/REST library for your programming language to consume our API, or you can use one of our SDKs.

General guidelines

  • Requests are sent over HTTPS.
  • Request and response bodies are JSON formatted.
  • Query parameters naming is snake_case (eg. short_response, start_date, end_date)
  • Request/response bodies parameters (from JSON objects) are camelCase (eg. phoneNumbers, allowInvalid)

Date Format

All dates are in UTC and the datetime format used is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
e.g. 2021-07-12 14:54:13

Phone Number Format

All phone numbers should match the international format E.164, wich define that numbers are formatted with "+" sign, followed by the country code and the subscriber number and can have a maximum length of 15 digits.
e.g. +4915123xxxxxx for Germany, +3361231xxxx for France, +39312311xxxx for Italy

Country Format

All country names an country codes in this API are represented as two-letter country codes defined in ISO-3166 alpha 2 standard.
e.g. DE for Germany, FR for France, IT for Italy

Currency Format

The currency code is in ISO-4217 format. e.g. eur for Euro, usd for US Dollar

Authentication

All requests made to the API must be authenticated.

The API offers two methods of authentication: Oauth2 and API Key

BearerAuth

This security schema can be used to authenticate requests to API endpoints.
Authorization: Bearer REPLACE_ACCESS_TOKEN

Security Scheme Type HTTP
HTTP Authorization Scheme bearer

ApiKeyAuth

This security schema can be used to authenticate requests to API endpoints. Use the following custom header: X-API-KEY: <API_KEY>

Security Scheme Type API Key
Header parameter name: X-API-KEY

BasicAuth

This security schema is used only for obtaining an Access Token from the authorization endpoint /oauth/token
Authorization: Basic ZDV....DJh //Base64 encoded <CLIENT_ID>:<CLIENT_SECRET>

Security Scheme Type HTTP
HTTP Authorization Scheme basic

Oauth2

The SMS.CX Messaging API supports the Oauth2 client credentials flow (RFC 6749).

The Oauth2 uses scopes to provide a certain rights management for specific endpoints. Please check the full list of available scopes.

Authenticating via Oauth2 method requires the following steps:

  1. Create a Client (or reffered as an Application) - you will get client_id and client_secret
  2. Generate an Access Token
  3. Make Authenticated Requests

1. Create a Client (or Application)

First go to the Admin Dashboard > HTTP API > Oauth2 and create a new Application (or Client).

*Admin Dashoard*

You will have to select the token expiration (1 day, 1 week or never) for all the access tokens issued by this Application, and to select the scopes allowed (sms, viber, whatsapp, groups, reports, etc.).

From the Admin Dashboard you will get the Application ID and Application Secret that will be used as parameters client_id and client_secret on the next step.

2. Generate an access token

To generate an access token your app makes a POST request to the Authorization endpoint /oauth/token, with the following parameters:

Parameter Type Description
client_id required Client ID
client_secret required Client secret
grant_type required Must be client_credentials
scope optional A url encoded list of space-delimited, case-sensitive strings. If left empty, the access token issued will be granted with all scopes (full privileges)

The POST request needs to use the HTTP Basic authentication scheme, by encoding client_id:client_secret string to Base64 string and use it in the header:

Authorization: Basic czZCaGRSa3F0Mzo3RmpmcDBaQnIxS3REUmJuZlZkbUl3 

Alternatively, the authorization server supports including the client authentication in the request-body.

Including the client credentials in the request-body using the two parameters client_id and client_secret is not recommended and should be limited to apps/clients that are unable to directly utilize the HTTP Basic authentication scheme.

Example with client authentication as Basic Auth header [RECOMMENDED]

POST /oauth/token HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic client_id:client_secret (base64 encoded value)
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

grant_type=client_credentials

Example with client authentication in request body

POST /oauth/token HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

client_id=<CLIENT_ID>&client_secret=<CLIENT_SECRET>&grant_type=client_credentials

The Authorization endpoint will validate the request and if successfull will respond with an access token:

An example successful response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
Cache-Control: no-store
Pragma: no-cache

{
    "access_token": "1d0d303679dba1135e372a9eccda02b0601eb4f9",
    "expires_in": 86400,
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "scope": "sms viber whatsapp multichannel conversations reports groups originators templates shortlinks attachments optouts account applications numbers"
}

Note: Each scope represents a resource, an endpoint.

For example, if your access token does not have groups scope granted, then the resource /groups will not be available. If scopes sms, groups, templates are granted, then the access token can send SMS, create/edit/delete groups, add contacts to groups, create/edit/delete templates

3. Make authenticated requests

Once the access token is obtained, it has to be provided on each request as a bearer token within the Authorization http header (Bearer Token Usage RFC 6750).

Example using the access token as bearer authorization

POST /sms HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer REPLACE_ACCESS_TOKEN
GET /groups HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Bearer REPLACE_ACCESS_TOKEN

If an access token is compromised, go to Admin Dashboard and revoke all tokens for that specific application. If needed, you can reset the application secret from the same section.


API Key

API keys, like access tokens, have a set of capabilities assigned to them. However, unlike access tokens wich provides more fine-grained access control and can have limited lifetime, API keys provides full access to all the account resources and are long-lived.

To authenticate an API request just add the custom header X-API-KEY to the request header.

You can generate and manage your API keys in the Admin Dashboard > HTTP API > API Keys.

*Admin Dashoard*

If an API Key is compromised, go to Admin Dashboard and deactivate or delete that API Key.


Successful requests

The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the success or failure of the API calls.

Status code Description
200 OK The request has succeeded
201 Created This code indicates that the request led to the creation of a resource

In case of success the response body contains a JSON object with the following structure:

  • info - object of objects - contains information about the fetched/created resource, e.g. ids, summary of fetched/processed collections, etc.
  • data - array of objects - contains the collection of data fetched or processed

Errors

The API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate the failure of and API request. The body of the error response will always be a JSON object in the following format:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

{
    "error": {
        "type": "invalid_param",
        "message": "The name is empty or parameter 'name' not set",
        "uri": "https://sms.cx/docs/api/errors",
        "code": 1204
    }
}

Description of error object

Property Type Description
type string The type of error returned (invalid_param, not_found, access_denied, invalid_client, insufficient_scope, etc)
message string A short, human-readable description of the error
uri string A URI reference in the documentation that provides further information
code integer An internal code of the error

There are some specific cases - when validating phone numbers - in wich the response body contains the error object plus the property invalid wich is an array with invalid phone numbers.

The endpoints that validate phone numbers at runtime and throw errors if invalid are:

  • /sms
  • /viber
  • /whatsapp
  • /multichannel
  • /groups/{groupId}

Note: Pparameter allowInvalid with value true can be used in the request body in order not to throw an error and continue execution. The valid phone numbers will be added to the group, the invalid numbers will be placed in the info.invalid object.

Request to add phone numbers to a group

POST /groups/4339812

SMS.CX Messaging API uses the HTTP status codes for errors:

For 4XX response there was some problem with your authentication, the privileges, the structure of your request or rate limited.

A 5XX response indicate an internal error occurred, you should retry your request with an exponential backoff method.

Delivery reports

When sending an SMS, the API allows to track the success or failure of the SMS by providing different statuses.

The following statuses are available:

Status Status Code Type Description
ACCEPTED 0 Intermediate The initial status of an SMS. It means that your request was received and the SMS is about to be sent
SENT 3 Intermediate The message was sent to the recipient but no final status is available yet
DELIVERED 1 Final Message was delivered to the mobile phone
FAILED 2 Final Message was not delivered
NO COVERAGE 5 Final Message was not accepted for delivery because there is no coverage to specified destination. You will not be billed for messages with this status
REJECTED 4 Final Message was not accepted for delivery (the recipient is in blacklist/optout list). You will not be billed for rejected messages
SCHEDULED 9 Intermediate Message was scheduled for processing at the specified date and time

Note that statuses of type Intermediate will not trigger a request to your callback URL. They can only be reported if you request the status by message ID.

Delivery report error codes

The errorCode parameter in the DLR callback gives more information about a failed delivery. A non-null value indicates that the message could not be delivered.

errorCode Type Description
null No error No error in the handling of the message
1 Unknown Message was not delivered, and no reason could be provided
2 Unknown Number The destination number is unknown or no longer exists
3 Roaming The destination number is in roaming and cannot accept the message
4 Number Blocked The destination number is blocked by the network operator to receive the message
5 Carrier Rejection The message was blocked by the operator's anti-spam filter. Check the content of your message
50 Regulation Error Unknown country specific regulation error
60 General Error There was an error in the routing of the message

Idempotency

The API supports idempotency for safely retrying requests without accidentally performing the same operation twice. This is useful when an API call is disrupted in transit and you do not receive a response. For example, if a request to send a SMS campaign to 20.000 phone numbers does not respond due to a network connection error, you can retry the request with the same idempotency id to guarantee that no more than one campaign is sent and you are not billed twice.

To perform an idempotent request, provide an additional idempotencyId parameter to the request body. To confirm that the server understood the request, the response will contain the header X-Idempotency-Id with your unique value.

SMS.CX Messaging API's idempotency works by saving the resulting status code and body of the first request made for any given idempotency ID, only if the incoming parameters pass validation and the API endpoint begin execution. Subsequent requests with the same id return the same result, including 500 errors. If incoming parameters failed validation (HTTP status 4XX), no idempotent result is saved because no API endpoint began execution. It is safe to retry these requests.

An idempotency ID is a unique value generated by the client which the server uses to recognize subsequent retries of the same request. The unique values you create must be valid UUIDs (from v1 to v5) to avoid collisions.

Idempotency IDs are removed from the system automatically after they're at least 24 hours old.

Idempotency IDs are supported on POST requests that affects the billing. Sending idempotency ids in GET and DELETE requests has no effect, as these requests are idempotent by definition.

The Messaging API is fast and can validate and send up to 25.000 SMS/Viber/Whatsapp in a single request. If the response from the API is intrerrupted due to a network connectivity error and you retry the request with the same idempotency ID, if the execution of the API endpoint didn't finished you will get the following intermediary reseponse:

{
    "info": {
        "idempotencyId": "287c1e8d-4842-4106-8fe9-4debf8855743",
        "route": "/sms",
        "status": "processing"
    }
}

In this case you should safely retry the request with an exponential backoff method.

The methods that accept an idempotency id are the following:

Rate limit

There are limits to the number of API calls that your application can make against a particular endpoint. Each API response you receive will include the headers X-Rate-Limit-Limit and X-Rate-Limit-Remaining

Exceeding a rate limit will result in an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests status code. It will include an X-Rate-Limit-Reset header that indicates the remaining window before the rate limit resets, in UTC epoch seconds (e.g. 1626119010).

Request IDs

Each API request has an associated request identifier. You can find this value in the response headers, under X-Request-Id. If you need to contact us about a specific request, providing the request identifier will ensure the fastest possible resolution.

IP address filtering

For improved security you can create a list of allowed IP addresses. Only IP addresses in the allowed list can make API calls using the applications credentials (Access Tokens, API Keys). If the list is left empty, all IP addresses are allowed.

To add an IP address to the allowed list, go to Admin Dashboard.

*Admin Dashboard - HTTP API - Security*

Note: Only IPv4 addresses are supported

API requests made from an IP address not in the allowed list will result in the following response:

403 Forbidden
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "error": {
        "type": "access_denied",
        "message": "Access denied for this IP address",
        "uri": "https://developers.sms.cx/docs/rest/ip-access/errors",
        "code": 1605
    }
}

Pagination

When making data requests it is likely that there is more data than can be returned in a single response. When that is the case the response will include a paging object with a next token, previous token and size of the returned collection. Whenever a next token is provided, there is additional data to retrieve so you will need to keep making API requests. If the next token is null then you reached the end of the data collection.

To request the next page of data, you must make the exact same query as the original, and also include a next request parameter set to the value from the previous response.

The same applies for previous token, except that the first request will have the previous token as null.

You can limit the number of results returned with the query parameter limit. The default and the maximum limit in the same time is 500.

Webhooks / Callbacks

Webhooks are an addition to an API, and rather of your code making the request for data, the API sends data to you. The data makes it to your application in the form of a HTTP request.

The API will make HTTP requests to your endpoints, saved in the application settings or that are set during your API calls. Your endpoints must return status HTTP 200 OK for the callback request to be marked as successful. If not successful, the API will retry the request using an exponential backoff algorithm.

The retry policy will follow this delay from the initial attempt:

Retry attempt Delay
1 1 minute
2 2 minutes
3 5 minutes
4 10 minutes
5 30 minutes
6 1 hour
7 2 hours
8 4 hours
9 8 hours
10 24 hours

SMS.CX API allows you to set a different callback/webhook URL for each resource that accepts this parameter.

However, if you want you can use only one endpoint for receiving data from SMS.CX API. The sent data is standardized across all callbacks, every request will have two objects: event and data. This makes it easier to use only one endpoint for all callbacks and identify the correct event for specific processing.

The event parameter can have the following values:

  • dlr_update
  • receive_sms
  • receive_viber
  • receive_whatsapp
  • shortlink_hit
  • shortlink_hit_update
  • attachment_hit
  • attachment_hit_update
  • new_optout
  • otp_update
  • number_lookup

The SMS.CX API groups the data by event type in the data object and send up to 200 events in one single callback request. Therefore, your endpoint must expect to parse and iterate trough all the data object.

Note: If by any reason your endpoint cannot handle bulk event grouping, please contact us so we can switch your callback settings to single request. Also, you can request increase or decrease in the data object grouping (eg. 40 events per request, 500 events per request, etc.)

Example of callback request with event type "dlr_update" and 3 events grouped in the data object:

{
    "event": "dlr_update",
    "data": [
        {
            "campaignId": "961dbfa9-8e12-4f96-b59d-6c0c79c53edc",
            "msgId": "4dd5e899-6ced-4fd5-bbb6-34e51507e3df",

Send SMS

Sends SMS to a single phone number or to a list of phone numbers.

This endpoint was designed to handle big data objects (up to 25.000 SMS in one request).

If you have loops or iterations we recommend building the send object in your application, and make a single request to this endpoint. The time of making the requests will decrease - by doing a single request with multiple send objects vs making requests in a loop - and you won't have to worry about making concurrent API calls.

Note: This endpoint accepts idempotent requests by providing an additional idempotencyId parameter in body with a unique value generated by the client of type UUID v1-v5. To confirm that the server understood the request, the response will contain the header X-Idempotency-Id with your unique value. By using idempotency you can retry requests in case of network error or server not responding in time, without accidentally performing the same operation twice and have a guarantee of not being billed twice.

Authorizations:
Request Body schema: application/json
to
required
Array of strings

A string with single phone number or an array of phone numbers in international E.164 format or national format. If national format is provided, for better validation you must use the parameter countryIso to provide the country code of the destination phone number.

from
required
string [ 3 .. 15 ] characters

The originator (sender name) of the text message (min 3, max 15 characters). If the originator used in this value is not approved, it will be overwritten by a default system originator (eg. InfoText). Read more about sender names

text
required
string

A standard GSM message is limited to 160 characters. If a text message contains even one (or more) Unicode characters (for example ç, ö, ü) the character limit then becomes 70 characters per message part. Long text messages are concatenated into a multipart SMS. A text message can have up to 1530 characters (10 message parts).

You can use custom fields in the text, by using the name of the field between two curly braces. The placeholders will be replaced with the availale data. If no data is found the placeholder will be replaced by a blank string. Available fields are:

  • {{optoutLink}}
  • {{shortlink:<ID>}}
  • {{attachement:<ID>}}

    The placeholder {{shortlink:<ID>}} is used when you want to track a shortlink. The API will generate a unique string for every contact, and doing so you will know what phone number clicked on the link. Eg. {{shortlink:bVc}} will be replaced by https://en.ax/bVc/r2N

    General placeholders can be used in the text, which will be replaced with data. Available general placeholders are:
  • {{numbers}} - will be replaced with a random number. Default length of the number is 4 characters. Eg. 9765
  • {{numbers:8}} - will be replaced with a random number with length of 8 characters. The minimum number length can be 1 and maximum length can be 20
  • {{letters}} - will be replaced with a random string of letters. Default length of the string is 4 characters. Eg. AJKV
  • {{letters:10}} - will be replaced with a random string with length of 10 characters. The minimum string length can be 1 and maximum length can be 20
  • {{alphanumeric}} - will be replaced with a random string of letters and numbers. Default length of the string is 4 characters. Eg. BH4V
  • {{alphanumeric:6}} - will be replaced with a random string of letters and numbers with length of 6 characters. The minimum alphanumeric string length can be 1 and maximum length can be 20
  • {{today}} - will be replaced with today date in following example format: 7 Aug 2022
countryIso
string 2 characters

Country ISO (two-letter) of the destination phone numbers (if provided in national format). Please note that if an international E.164 phone number format is provided in the to parameter, the countryIso will be ignored. Eg. FR for France, GB for United Kingdom. Note: It is "GB", not "UK", as per the ISO-3166 alpha 2.

allowInvalid
boolean
Default: false

By default an error will be thrown if any invalid numbers are detected in the to parameter. Set this parameter to true if you want to process the request even if invalid numbers are detected. The response will contain in the info object the property invalid, wich is an array with the detected invalid phone numbers

scheduledDate
string <date-time>

If you want to schedule the SMS at a later date. The date provided must be in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (Eg. 2021-06-23 14:26:10). By default, the date and time in this parameter is treated as UTC. So if you want to schedule a SMS to a french phone number at 16:00 (France is UTC+2), then you should set the parameter at 2021-06-23 14:00 (UTC). If you don't want to make the calculations, you can set this parameter as the date time of the destination (eg. 2021-06-23 16:00) and set the parameter isUtc to false. In this way, the API will automatically make the conversion from the destination timezone to UTC and set the scheduledDate accordingly

isUtc
boolean
Default: true

If set to false it will indicate that the scheduledDate parameter is not a date in UTC time, but the date relative to the timezone of the destination phone number. The API will calculate the offset and convert the date to UTC.

dlrCallbackUrl
string <url>

A valid URL to receive the delivery report update for the sent SMS. If this parameter is set, it will overwrite the setting from Admin Dashboard > HTTP API > Oauth2 > Application settings

trackData
string <uuid> 36 characters ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]...

Allows to track messages a client provided ID. The trackData value will be passed back with the response and in all callbacks (webhooks). If the value is not a valid UUID (v1-v5) the API will not return an error but will discard this parameter

shortResponse
boolean
Default: false

If set to true, it will return the full info object and empty data object. For situations when you don't need the information in the data object and want to save bandwith

noTextDetails
boolean
Default: false

The response will not have the parameters data.text and data.textAnalysis. For situations when you send to large lists of phone numbers and don't need all response parameters (save bandwith)

showTimezone
boolean
Default: false

Shows the parameter timezone in the response, for each phone number

idempotencyId
string <uuid> 36 characters ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]...

A unique idempotency id generated by the client. For more information, refer to Idempotent requests. The API will return an error if the value provided is not a valid UUID (v1-v5)

object (Transliteration)

Convert special characters from Unicode to GSM 03.38 charset, or replace them if no GSM equivalent.

Eg. Привет = privet (cyrillic), cześć = czesc (polish), edilmiş = edilmis (turkish), bună = buna (romanian)

If this parameter is set, it will overwrite the settings from Admin Dashboard > HTTP API > Oauth2 > Application settings

Request Body schema: application/json
to
required
Array of strings

A string with single phone number or an array of phone numbers in international E.164 format or national format. If national format is provided, for better validation you must use the parameter countryIso to provide the country code of the destination phone number.

from
required
string [ 3 .. 15 ] characters

The originator (sender name) of the text message (min 3, max 15 characters). If the originator used in this value is not approved, it will be overwritten by a default system originator (eg. InfoText). Read more about sender names

text
required
string

A standard GSM message is limited to 160 characters. If a text message contains even one (or more) Unicode characters (for example ç, ö, ü) the character limit then becomes 70 characters per message part. Long text messages are concatenated into a multipart SMS. A text message can have up to 1530 characters (10 message parts).

You can use custom fields in the text, by using the name of the field between two curly braces. The placeholders will be replaced with the availale data. If no data is found the placeholder will be replaced by a blank string. Available fields are:

  • {{optoutLink}}
  • {{shortlink:<ID>}}
  • {{attachement:<ID>}}

    The placeholder {{shortlink:<ID>}} is used when you want to track a shortlink. The API will generate a unique string for every contact, and doing so you will know what phone number clicked on the link. Eg. {{shortlink:bVc}} will be replaced by https://en.ax/bVc/r2N

    General placeholders can be used in the text, which will be replaced with data. Available general placeholders are:
  • {{numbers}} - will be replaced with a random number. Default length of the number is 4 characters. Eg. 9765
  • {{numbers:8}} - will be replaced with a random number with length of 8 characters. The minimum number length can be 1 and maximum length can be 20
  • {{letters}} - will be replaced with a random string of letters. Default length of the string is 4 characters. Eg. AJKV
  • {{letters:10}} - will be replaced with a random string with length of 10 characters. The minimum string length can be 1 and maximum length can be 20
  • {{alphanumeric}} - will be replaced with a random string of letters and numbers. Default length of the string is 4 characters. Eg. BH4V
  • {{alphanumeric:6}} - will be replaced with a random string of letters and numbers with length of 6 characters. The minimum alphanumeric string length can be 1 and maximum length can be 20
  • {{today}} - will be replaced with today date in following example format: 7 Aug 2022
countryIso
string 2 characters

Country ISO (two-letter) of the destination phone numbers (if provided in national format). Please note that if an international E.164 phone number format is provided in the to parameter, the countryIso will be ignored. Eg. FR for France, GB for United Kingdom. Note: It is "GB", not "UK", as per the ISO-3166 alpha 2.

allowInvalid
boolean
Default: false

By default an error will be thrown if any invalid numbers are detected in the to parameter. Set this parameter to true if you want to process the request even if invalid numbers are detected. The response will contain in the info object the property invalid, wich is an array with the detected invalid phone numbers

scheduledDate
string <date-time>

If you want to schedule the SMS at a later date. The date provided must be in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (Eg. 2021-06-23 14:26:10). By default, the date and time in this parameter is treated as UTC. So if you want to schedule a SMS to a french phone number at 16:00 (France is UTC+2), then you should set the parameter at 2021-06-23 14:00 (UTC). If you don't want to make the calculations, you can set this parameter as the date time of the destination (eg. 2021-06-23 16:00) and set the parameter isUtc to false. In this way, the API will automatically make the conversion from the destination timezone to UTC and set the scheduledDate accordingly

Send SMS campaign


Sends SMS to existing group(s) of contacts.

Note: This endpoint accepts idempotent requests by providing an additional idempotencyId parameter in body with a unique value generated by the client of type UUID v1-v5. To confirm that the server understood the request, the response will contain the header X-Idempotency-Id with your unique value. By using idempotency you can retry requests in case of network error or server not responding in time, without accidentally performing the same operation twice and have a guarantee of not being billed twice.

We recommend to always use Idempotency ID when sending SMS campaigns

Viber

Send Viber message


Sends Viber message to a single phone number or to a list of phone numbers.

This endpoint was designed to handle big data objects (up to 25.000 Viber messages in one request).

If you have loops or iterations we recommend building the send object in your application, and make a single request to this endpoint. The time of making the requests will decrease - by doing a single request with multiple send objects vs making requests in a loop - and you won't have to worry about making concurrent API calls.

Note: This endpoint accepts idempotent requests by providing an additional idempotencyId parameter in body with a unique value generated by the client of type UUID v1-v5. To confirm that the server understood the request, the response will contain the header X-Idempotency-Id with your unique value. By using idempotency you can retry requests in case of network error or server not responding in time, without accidentally performing the same operation twice and have a guarantee of not being billed twice.

to
required
Array of strings

A string with single phone number or an array of phone numbers in international E.164 format or national format. If national format is provided, for better validation you must use the parameter countryIso to provide the country code of the destination phone number.

from
required
string [ 3 .. 15 ] characters

The originator (sender name) of the text message (min 3, max 15 characters). If the originator used in this value is not approved, it will be overwritten by a default system originator (eg. InfoText). Read more about sender names

templateId

Identifier of the approved Viber template

object (CustomFields)

An object with key-value pairs, where the key is the name of the custom field. An actual JSON object described by this might look like this:

{
    "customFields": {
        "height": "1.78m",
        "orderNumber": "441",
        "my_custom_field": "My Custom Value"
    }
}  

The data stored in the custom fields will be inserted in the text message template by replacing the placeholder {{<KEY>}}. Eg. {{height}}, {{orderNumber}}

countryIso
string 2 characters

Country ISO (two-letter) of the destination phone numbers (if provided in national format). Please note that if an international E.164 phone number format is provided in the to parameter, the countryIso will be ignored. Eg. FR for France, GB for United Kingdom. Note: It is "GB", not "UK", as per the ISO-3166 alpha 2.

allowInvalid
boolean
Default: false

By default an error will be thrown if any invalid numbers are detected in the to parameter. Set this parameter to true if you want to process the request even if invalid numbers are detected. The response will contain in the info object the property invalid, wich is an array with the detected invalid phone numbers

scheduledDate
string <date-time>

If you want to schedule the Viber message at a later date. The date provided must be in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (Eg. 2021-06-23 14:26:10). By default, the date and time in this parameter is treated as UTC. So if you want to schedule a Viber message to a french phone number at 16:00 (France is UTC+2), then you should set the parameter at 2021-06-23 14:00 (UTC). If you don't want to make the calculations, you can set this parameter as the date time of the destination (eg. 2021-06-23 16:00) and set the parameter isUtc to false. In this way, the API will automatically make the conversion from the destination timezone to UTC and set the scheduledDate accordingly

isUtc
boolean
Default: true

If set to false it will indicate that the scheduledDate parameter is not a date in UTC time, but the date relative to the timezone of the destination phone number. The API will calculate the offset and convert the date to UTC.

dlrCallbackUrl
string <url>

A valid URL to receive the delivery report update for the sent Viber message. If this parameter is set, it will overwrite the setting from Admin Dashboard > HTTP API > Oauth2 > Application settings

trackData
string <uuid> 36 characters ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]...

Allows to track messages a client provided ID. The trackData value will be passed back with the response and in all callbacks (webhooks). If the value is not a valid UUID (v1-v5) the API will not return an error but will discard this parameter

shortResponse
boolean
Default: false

If set to true, it will return the full info object and empty data object. For situations when you don't need the information in the data object and want to save bandwith

noTextDetails
boolean
Default: false

The response will not have the parameters data.text and data.textAnalysis. For situations when you send to large lists of phone numbers and don't need all response parameters (save bandwith)

showTimezone
boolean
Default: false

Shows the parameter timezone in the response, for each phone number

idempotencyId
string <uuid> 36 characters ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]...

A unique idempotency id generated by the client. For more information, refer to Idempotent requests. The API will return an error if the value provided is not a valid UUID (v1-v5)

So if you want to schedule a Viber message to a french phone number at 16:00 (France is UTC+2), then you should set the parameter at 2021-06-23 14:00 (UTC). If you don't want to make the calculations, you can set this parameter as the date time of the destination (eg. 2021-06-23 16:00) and set the parameter isUtc to false. In this way, the API will automatically make the conversion from the destination timezone to UTC and set the scheduledDate accordingly

isUtc
boolean
Default: true

If set to false it will indicate that the scheduledDate parameter is not a date in UTC time, but the date relative to the timezone of the destination phone number. The API will calculate the offset and convert the date to UTC.

dlrCallbackUrl
string <url>

A valid URL to receive the delivery report update for the sent Viber. If this parameter is set, it will overwrite the setting from Admin Dashboard > HTTP API > Oauth2 > Application settings

shortResponse
boolean
Default: false

If set to true, it will return the full info object and empty data object. For situations when you don't need the information in the data object and want to save bandwith

noTextDetails
boolean
Default: false

The response will not have the parameters data.text and data.textAnalysis. For situations when you send to large lists of phone numbers and don't need all response parameters (save bandwith)

showTimezone
boolean
Default: false

Shows the parameter timezone in the response, for each phone number

idempotencyId
string <uuid> 36 characters ^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]...

A unique idempotency id generated by the client. For more information, refer to Idempotent requests. The API will return an error if the value provided is not a valid UUID (v1-v5)

Whatsapp

Send Whatsapp message


Sends Whatsapp message to a single phone number or to a list of phone numbers.

Note: This endpoint accepts idempotent requests by providing an additional idempotencyId parameter in body with a unique value generated by the client of type UUID v1-v5. To confirm that the server understood the request, the response will contain the header X-Idempotency-Id with your unique value. By using idempotency you can retry requests in case of network error or server not responding in time, without accidentally performing the same operation twice and have a guarantee of not being billed twice.

Multichannel

Send Multichannel message


Sends Multichannel message to a single phone number or to a list of phone numbers.

This endpoint was designed to handle big data objects (up to 25.000 Multichannel messages in one request).

If you have loops or iterations we recommend building the send object in your application, and make a single request to this endpoint. The time of making the requests will decrease - by doing a single request with multiple send objects vs making requests in a loop - and you won't have to worry about making concurrent API calls.

Note: This endpoint accepts idempotent requests by providing an additional idempotencyId parameter in body with a unique value generated by the client of type UUID v1-v5. To confirm that the server understood the request, the response will contain the header X-Idempotency-Id with your unique value. By using idempotency you can retry requests in case of network error or server not responding in time, without accidentally performing the same operation twice and have a guarantee of not being billed twice.

By default an error will be thrown if any invalid numbers are detected in the to parameter. Set this parameter to true if you want to process the request even if invalid numbers are detected. The response will contain in the info object the property invalid, wich is an array with the detected invalid phone numbers

scheduledDate
string <date-time>

If you want to schedule the Multichannel message at a later date. The date provided must be in format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (Eg. 2021-06-23 14:26:10). By default, the date and time in this parameter is treated as UTC. So if you want to schedule a Multichannel message to a french phone number at 16:00 (France is UTC+2), then you should set the parameter at 2021-06-23 14:00 (UTC). If you don't want to make the calculations, you can set this parameter as the date time of the destination (eg. 2021-06-23 16:00) and set the parameter isUtc to false. In this way, the API will automatically make the conversion from the destination timezone to UTC and set the scheduledDate accordingly

isUtc
boolean
Default: true

If set to false it will indicate that the scheduledDate parameter is not a date in UTC time, but the date relative to the timezone of the destination phone number. The API will calculate the offset and convert the date to UTC.

to
required
Array of strings

A string with single phone number or an array of phone numbers in international E.164 format or national format. If national format is provided, for better validation you must use the parameter countryIso to provide the country code of the destination phone number.

from
required
string [ 3 .. 15 ] characters

The originator (sender name) of the text message (min 3, max 11 characters). If the originator used in this value is not approved, it will be overwritten by a default system originator (eg. InfoText). Read more about sender names

required
Array of objects (Strategy)

An array of objects, in the order of sending. The API will try sending the message with the first channel in the strategy. If the delivery failed (Eg. Viber not installed, ttl has expired), then it will trigger the sending with the next channel in the strategy object. The last failover object must be always sms. Possible values for strategy.channel: viber, whatsapp, sms. Objects with channel viber and whatsapp have element templateId (the ID of the approved text template), and failover object with channel sms have the element text

ttl
integer <int32>
Default: 300

The time to live (ttl) defines the time in seconds that a channel has to deliver the message to the destination. After the time to live has expired and no Delivered report received, the next channel in the strategy will be triggered. This procedure is repeated until the last failover channel (sms) is triggered. Default ttl is 300 seconds (5 minutes). Max value 1209600 seconds (14 days)

countryIso
string 2 characters

Country ISO (two-letter) of the destination phone numbers (if provided in national format). Please note that if an international E.164 phone number format is provided in the to parameter, the countryIso will be ignored. Eg. FR for France, GB for United Kingdom. Note: It is "GB", not "UK", as per the ISO-3166 alpha 2.

allowInvalid

Send Multichannel campaign


Sends Multichannel message to existing group(s) of contacts.

Note: This endpoint accepts idempotent requests by providing an additional idempotencyId parameter in body with a unique value generated by the client of type UUID v1-v5. To confirm that the server understood the request, the response will contain the header X-Idempotency-Id with your unique value. By using idempotency you can retry requests in case of network error or server not responding in time, without accidentally performing the same operation twice and have a guarantee of not being billed twice.

We recommend to always use Idempotency ID when sending Multichannel campaigns

The only required parameters are the dates for the report. The date filters can be: with period parameter or with start_date and end_date

For some dimensions (traffic and delivery) the summary report will aggregate on dates. If the summary report was requested with period parameter, the dates will be months or days. If it was requested with interval start_date - end_date, the dates will be the days between the interval.

Eg. period=2011, the property will be all months in the year period=2011-06, the property will be all days in month start_date=2021-06-15, end_date=2021-06-30, the properties will be all days between the interval

If no data is available for the summary report an empty data object is returned.
