SMS API by Textbelt

[BoBo]

SMS API | Textbelt is an SMS gateway API. There are two versions:

For a free, self-hosted SMS server, head over to the [open source project].
For a reliable, zero-setup solution, [read here below] and generate an API key.
Since its creation, Textbelt has sent over 3 million texts from the command line and other software clients!

Would be interested to see an AHK code snippet to handle this conveniently for monitoring purposes

That's cool thank you I will look into it tonight

Too expensive.

Here's code to send a "test message". Only once per day.

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force

ObjHTTP := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
ObjHTTP.Open("POST", "https://textbelt.com/text")
ObjHTTP.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
ObjHTTP.Send("phone=5555555555&message=Hello%20world&key=textbelt")
MsgBox, % ObjHTTP.ResponseText

MsgBox, % ObjHTTP.ResponseText

Unfortunately, it throws that error (and yes, I've changed the phone# and followed below mentioned requirement):
{"success":false,"error":"Invalid phone number or bad request. If your phone number contains a +, please check that you are URL encoding it properly."}
... but if I'm sending it using the test-parameter ... &message=Hello%20world&key=textbelt_test") it is looking fine:{"success":true,"textId":"23761500564424078","quotaRemaining":1}

To text internationally, use the E.164 format (+ country code with numbers, no spaces). For example, a Brazilian phone number is +5511912345678 and a UK phone number is +447712345678.

This is the result I get:
{"success":false,"error":"Only one test text message is allowed per day.","quotaRemaining":0}
