If you have a website or software, it can send SMS by itself: order confirmations, one-time codes, receipts and reminders.
Three ways to connect
| Way | Good for |
|---|---|
| API: your developer sends an HTTP request with an API key | Custom systems and apps. Start with the API guide and the OpenAPI explorer. |
| Plugins for WordPress, WooCommerce and WHMCS | Online shops and web hosts, with no coding. See the plugins page. |
| Webhooks: we call your system when something happens | Knowing the result of a send without asking us again and again. |
Get an API key
- Open API Keys in the menu and press Create token.
- Give it a name you will recognise, such as “Website”.
- Copy the key straight away. It is shown only once. Keep it on your server, never in a web page or an app that others can open.
Anyone who has your key can send messages with your credits. If a key may have leaked, delete it and create a new one.
A ready-made Postman collection lets you test every call before you write any code.
