Developer API
FASTSMS are more than just a source of SMS message credits. We build software applications ourselves using SMS and other technologies so have knowledge of the developer's world.
With access to our well documented and supported API (Application Programming Interface) you will be able to connect directly to the FASTSMS Messaging Platform. And our advisors will be there to get you started and help you at every stage of the project.
Sending via HTTP from within your application can be as simple as generating a HTTP request that contains the relevant variables and sending them to the FASTSMS gateway, this can be in the form of a HTTP POST or GET.
Also available are other options for more complex actions such as sending larger amounts of messages in one request or reporting on message activity over a period of time; this is done by other supported protocols, such as; FTP/SCP, XML and SMTP.
