International SMS Scripts and API’s

Use these SMS scripts to enable your business or international SMS. They’ll save you time, money and ensure seamless text message integration.

If you’re a small business with only a few clients, then one of the pre-designed SMS interfaces will suffice to get your business enabled for international SMS. But times change and with it, technology. It’s all about convenience – being able to do more, with less – which is why businesses prefer to integrate their systems directly with the SMS gateway.

If you don’t or can’t code your own scripts to integrate with any of the available application programming interfaces, then there exist a couple of scripts that can help you get the job done, easily and effortlessly. Let’s have a look…

About The API

Below you’ll find links to a number of scripts in different languages that can be used to connect a website, database or software module to the HTTP/S API. In most cases the HTTP/S API is used because it is one of the easiest to implement and it is best used in situation where firewall policies come into play. It is also one of the most widely understood protocols, which makes it perfect for international SMS.

The HTTP/S API starts with a base URL, which is: http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg

A number of additional parameters are added to the above URL which will pass bits of relevant information to the SMS server to get those international SMS messages sent off. These include:

Here’s an example of a completed string:

http://api.clickatell.com/http/sendmsg?user=xxxxx&password=xxxxx&api_id=xxxxx&to=448311234567
&text=Meet+me+at+home

If you’ve registered for an API account, you simply need to replace all the appropriate variables in the script with your own, after which you’ll be able to start sending local and international SMS messages. (Tip: registering for any API account is free and will supply you with 10 free test credits. Note that free messages are pre-populated).
