Example: Dispatching SMS via HTTP Request

With the help of a HTTP Request, meaning opening a website via GET or POST, you can send an SMS. The HTTP Request is a long URL that contains every parameter of the SMS. In the URL you not only transmit the data of your SMS (sender, recipient, text), but also your login data (account no., password, SMS type). This interface is exceptionally easy to integrate into external applications:

Send SMS with PHP, Ruby, Python, Java and our SMS Gateway

PHP

With the help of curl you can easily use our HTTP interface in PHP. You call up the URL of our gateway and pass the parameters which include recipient, SMS text etc. Of course, you can also use the SOAP interface with PHP.

//open connection $ch = curl_init(); //set the url, number of POST vars, POST data curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($fields)); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string); //execute post $result = curl_exec($ch); //close connection curl_close($ch);

Ruby

Ruby provides you with the HTTP client API, with which you can easily use our HTTP request SMS API. Simply transfer your SMS data from Ruby to the SMS gateway. This includes your user data as well as the SMS data.

//load Net::HTTP require 'net/http' //set the url uri = URI('https://www.lox24.eu/api/httpsms.php') //set the parameter res = Net::HTTP.post_form(uri, 'konto' => 'user-id', 'password' => 'your-password', 'service' => 'the-sms-type', 'text' => 'your-sms-text', 'to' => '+4917663804349') //execute puts res.body

Python

With Python you have a number of different possibilities to interact with our SMS gateway. For example, you can use urllib, requests, octopus or HTTPie to send your SMS data and access data to our API via Python.

//load built in module import urllib.request import urllib.parse //load url with parameters url = 'https://www.lox24.eu/api/httpsms.php?konto=ID&password=YourPassword&text=YourText...' f = urllib.request.urlopen(url) //read answer print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))

Java

With the help of java. net. URLConnection you can send your SMS data to our SMS API from Java. Together with the URL, you pass the other SMS parameters such as SMS text, recipient number and sender ID.

//Define URL and Parameter String url = "https://www.lox24.eu/api/httpsms.php"; String charset = "UTF-8"; String konto = "userID"; String password = "yourPassword"; // ... //URL Encode Parameter String query = String.format("konto=%s&password=%s", URLEncoder.encode(konto, charset), URLEncoder.encode(password, charset)); //Firing HTTP Get URLConnection connection = new URL(url + "?" + query).openConnection(); connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", charset); InputStream response = connection.getInputStream(); // ...
