HTTP SMS API
The HTTP SMS API implemented by Ozeki 10 SMS Gateway provides a great, easy to use interface, that allows software developers to send and receive SMS messages. The following pages give you information on how to use this technology, with several free to use / free to customize examples.
Send SMS
To send an SMS message using the HTTP API you need to issue an HTTP request (Figure 1).
You can use the HTTP GET or the HTTP POST method, when you send this request to Ozeki 10 SMS
Gateway. After the request is sent, you will receive a response.

Receive SMS
When an SMS message arrives to the Ozeki SMS gateway, it is stored in
a message folder, called inbox. If you want to check incoming SMS messages one
of your options is to download the contents of the inbox folder using HTTP.
The following URL gives more information about how to download the contents
of a message folder:

If you want to process incoming SMS messages as soon as they arrive to your
system, you may want to setup an HTTP Client
user in Ozeki SMS Gateway. This
HTTP Client user can forward incoming messages to your web application(s) as
HTTP GET or HTTP POST requests (Figure 2).

The following webpage gives information on how to configure your SMS gateway to forward
your SMS messages to an external web application:
HTTP Client user
Note that you can write this external web application in any programming
language. We have examples for PHP SMS
processing,
ASP SMS processing and
Java SMS processing.
Your web application can also return a response SMS message in the HTTP response.
This response SMS messages will be forwarded back to the recipient handset. The
following URL has information about the proper response format your web
application can use:
