Sending and receiving SMS using the API

To submit SMS directly from your application to an endpoint using our API, the following API call needs to be made:

POST https://cdn.emnify.net/api/v1/endpoint/{endpointId}/sms

Required Headers:

Content-Type: application/json

Authorization: Bearer {auth_token}

JSON Body:

{

    "source_address": "12345",

    "payload": "This is the message text!"

}

To receive SMS on your application server from the device you will need to first set up a Callback URL in the Service profile assigned to that endpoint:

• Set the API URL on the "SMS" tab - select "RestAPI" on the drop-down menu for “Interface”

• Select the “configuration icon” next to “RestAPI”, input a purpose (name of your choosing) and the URL
• You can also set up a "Secret" (optional)

A detailed description of the SMS API you can find in our API documentation.
