Sending SMS

To send or schedule an SMS you have to do a request via method POST to address: https://www.smsadvert.ro/api/sms/ type application/json

Example of sending SMS via smsadvert.ro network

Delivery of the SMS is done immediately after your request.

var axios = require('axios');
var data = JSON.stringify({
  phone: '+40740123456',
  shortTextMessage: 'This is the content of the SMS message',
  sendAsShort: true
});

var config = {
  method: 'post',
  url: 'https://www.smsadvert.ro/api/sms/',
  headers: {
    Authorization: 'API_AUTH_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  data: data
};

axios(config)
  .then(function(response) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
  })
  .catch(function(error) {
    console.log(error);
  });
