To send an SMS, you need to call the GET or POST address method: https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&phones=<phones>&mes=<message>
To get the SMS cost, you need to call the GET or POST address method: https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&phones=<phones>&mes=<message>&cost=1
To send an SMS with the transmission of parameters in json format in the request body, you must use the POST method to call the address: https://smscentre.com/rest/send/
Description of the parameters passed to the Server :

OptionThe value
loginCustomer Login.
pswClient Password (you can add or change it on this page).
phonesThe number or comma-separated or semicolon-separated list of mobile phone numbers in international format to which the message is sent. Numbers can be passed without the "+ " sign. If the number is passed without the " + " sign, it can be corrected by automatic formatting and converted to the correct international format. Thus, some errors when entering phone numbers can be corrected automatically. To disable auto-correction, pass the number with the "+ " sign.".
You can also send a message to a group of numbersby specifying a special code " G<íîìåð ãðóïïû>". The message will be sent to all numbers belonging to this group. For an e-mail message, a list of recipients' e-mail addresses is transmitted .
mesThe text of the message being sent. The maximum size is 1000 characters. If necessary, the message will be divided into several SMS messages sent to the subscriber and paid separately. Size of one SMS – 160 characters in Latin or 70 characters in Cyrillic. When splitting a message into multiple SMS messages, a header is added to each part to combine the parts into a single message on the recipient's phone, and the maximum length becomes 67 for Cyrillic and 153 for Latin letters. You can add comments to the message text that are intended for the sender to view the history in the personal account.
Additional options
idThe message ID. Assigned by the Client. Serves for further identification of the message. If not specified, it will be assigned automatically. Not necessarily unique.

    }

  • when op = 1 and fmt = 0 or 1, the information is added to the end of the normal output from a new line:
    <phone>,<mccmnc>,<cost>,<status>,<error>

  • when op = 1 and fmt = 2, an array is added to the response:
    <phones>

<n><n> is the number of SMS sent, calculated as the number of SMS messages in the message multiplied by the number of recipients.
<id> – the message ID sent by the Client or assigned automatically by the Server.
<cnt> – the number of parts (when sending an SMS message) or the number of seconds (when sending a voice message (call)).
<balance> – new Customer Balance.
<phone> – phone number.
<mccmnc> – the numeric code of the subscriber's country plus the numeric code of the subscriber's operator.
<cost> – the cost of an SMS message.
<status> – sMS Message status code.
<error> – error code in the status.

The server does not accept more than one identical request to send SMS messages within a minute to protect against errors and loops in the Client-side program in order to reduce the load and not waste the Client's funds, as well as to prevent multiple messages from being sent to one subscriber.

The server also blocks sending more than 50 messages to one subscriber, which were sent with a break between messages of less than 60 seconds, to protect against flooding and unnecessary debiting of funds from the Client's account, since many operators do not pass a large number of messages to one subscriber in a short period of time.

Examples of sending messages

Examples:

Normal message:

https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=alex&psw=123&phones=79999999999&mes=Hello! https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=alex&psw=123

https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=alex&psw=123&phones=G777%2Cg888&mes=Hello!

Sending an HLR request

You can check phone numbers for availability by sending a special HLR request. As a result of executing the request, data will be received about the subscriber's country and operator, about the roaming operator when the subscriber is on someone else's network, as well as about the subscriber's status (available or not). Subscribers, owners of the numbers being checked, will not receive any notifications about the checks performed on their number.

Execution of an HLR request over the HTTP protocol is performed in the same way as sending an SMS message, and the request must pass an additional parameter hlr=1.

To send an HLR request, use the GET or POST method to call the address: https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&phones=<phones>&hlr=1
Other parameters that are used for sending regular SMS messages and described on this page are also available.

The result of the HLR request can be sent to the URL for receiving incoming messages and statuses specified in the settings in your personal account, or it can be read by requesting the status of the sent SMS message.

Example:
https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=alex&psw=123&phones=79999999999&hlr=1

Sending an MMS message

To send an MMS message, you must use the GET or POST method to call the address: https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&phones=<phones>&mes=<message>&mms=1
If you plan to send any files (text, music, audio, video), then you need to send them using the POST method in the body http (s)-request to the server. It is also possible to send an external file in the request via the fileurlparameter, which contains the full http (s) address of the file, or to add an https link to the message text of a previously downloaded file, which you can find out in your personal account on the sending page by clicking "attach file" - " Downloaded files".

The maximum number of attachments passed in a request is twenty, and the total size of all attachments must not exceed 300 KB. If the specified limits are exceeded, the remaining attachments will be transmitted as links. For an MMS message, specify the subject or text it is mandatory.

Examples:

Sending an MMS message with the subject "Privet" and the text "Hello":

https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=alex&psw=123&phones=79999999999&mes=Hello&subj=Privet&mms=1
Sending MMS with the subject "Holiday" and two photos via library based on cURL:

<?php
include "smsc_api.php";
send_sms("79999999999", "", 0, 0, 0, 7, false, "subj=Holiday", array("/home/alex/1.jpg", "/home/alex/2.jpg"));
?>

Sending an e-mail message

To send an e-mail, you need to call the GET or POST address method: https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&phones=<phones>&mes=<message>&sender=<sender>&subj=<subj>&mail=1
If you plan to transfer any files when sending them, then they must be transmitted by the POST method in the body of an http(s) request to the server. The positions in the text in which you plan to insert files must be designated in a special way in the form of "<file n><file n>", where n is the file number in the generated list starting from one. If you do not specify the positions, then the corresponding files will be added to the end of the message.

To download a file from an external source, you can pass an additional fileurl parameter in the request containing the full http(s) address of the file.

The maximum number of attachments transmitted in a request is 20, and the size of each attachment should not exceed 10 MB. If the specified limits are exceeded, an error with the code 1 (incorrect parameters) will be returned. When sending each email, the maximum total size of attached attachments is 15 MB, attachments that do not fit into this size will be transmitted by a link to our website.

By default, a special unsubscribe link is added to the end of the message text. To disable this link, you need to add a special macro {no_unsub} to any place in the text of the letter.

For e-mail messages, specifying the subject, text and sender's address is mandatory.

Examples of sending e-mail messages

Examples:

Sending an e-mail to the address "alex@mysite.com" with the subject "Privet" and the text "Hello" from the sender "alex2@mysite2.com":

https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=alex&psw=123&phones=alex%40mysite.com&mes=Hello&subj=Privet&sender=alex2%40mysite2.com&mail=1
Sending an e-mail with the subject "Holiday" and two photos via the cURL-based library:

<?php
include "smsc_api.php";
send_sms("alex@mysite.com", "Hello", 0, 0, 0, 8, "alex2@mysite2.com", "subj=Holiday", array("/home/alex/1.jpg", "/home/alex/2.jpg"));
?>

Sending an e-mail with the subject "Hello" and a photo uploaded earlier to the server:

<?php
include "smsc_api.php";
send_sms("alex@mysite.com", "Hello, this is my photo &lt;file /upload/files/sms/123abc/photo.jpg width=200 height=400>", 0, 0, 0, 8, "alex2@mysite2.com", "subj=Hello");
?>

Sending a voice message (call)

To send a voice message, you need to call the address using the GET or POST method: https://smscentre.com/sys/send.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&phones=<phones>&mes=<message>&call=1
When forming a message, you can specify both text and add wav and mp3 media files.

If you plan to transfer files, then they must be transmitted by the POST method in the body of an http(s) request to the server. The positions in the text in which you plan to insert files must be designated in a special way in the form of "<file n><file n>", where n is the file number in the generated list starting from one. If you do not specify the positions, then the corresponding files will be added to the end of the message.

Ïðè ñîçäàíèè ñîîáùåíèÿ ìîæíî âñòàâëÿòü â òåêñò http(s)-ññûëêè ðàíåå çàãðóæåííûõ ôàéëîâ, óçíàòü êîòîðûå ìîæíî â ëè÷íîì êàáèíåòå íà ñòðàíèöå îòïðàâêè, íàæàâ ïîñëåäîâàòåëüíî ññûëêè "ïðèêðåïèòü ôàéë" – "Çàãðóæåííûå ôàéëû".

To download a file from an external source, you can pass an additional fileurl parameter in the request containing the full http(s) address of the file. In this case, passing the mes parameter in the request is optional.

Since telephone lines cannot perfectly play complex media files, when forming a sent message, the transmitted files are converted to a simple format.

When sending a voice message, the initial time and cost are calculated approximately. After sending and listening to messages the subscriber, the duration and the call cost or adjusted downwards (for example, if the subscriber has not heard the message through), or if the duration of the message exceeds the calculated, the difference in seconds is indicated in comments to the message in the form of extra time, overtime, including those which displayed in detail in a separate entry. Also, overtime may occur when using the voice menu (IVR).

The maximum number of attachments transmitted in a request is four, and the size of each attachment should not exceed 5 MB. If the specified limits are exceeded, processed attachments will be excluded.

To send your phone number as the sender's name, you must specify it in the sender parameter. The specified number must first be added and activated in the personal account on this page.

When forming a request, you can pass a special parameter param, which specifies some characteristics of the call (more details can be found in the description). Additionally, you can also pass the voice parameter in the request, which determines the voice used for voicing the text. This parameter can take the following values:
  • voice = m – male voice.
  • voice = m2 – male voice 2.
  • voice = m3 – male voice 3 (by default).
  • voice = m4 – male voice 4.
  • voice = w – a woman's voice.
  • voice = w2 – female voice 2.
  • voice = w3 – female voice 3.
  • voice = w4 – female voice 4.
When sending messages, it is also possible to specify the language of the text in the form: "m,en", "w,fr", "w,de", etc..

Using the voice menu (IVR)

To use the voice menu, you must send a text or voice file with the initial instructions for the subscriber at the beginning of the message text and then specify a macro containing the service menu commands {menu: <...>}, where <...> description of the voice menu options.

Schematically, the message using the voice menu looks like this:
ÑÒÀÐÒÎÂÛÉ ÒÅÊÑÒ

{menu: [ÒÅÊÑÒ ÌÅÍÞ]
1: ÒÅÊÑÒ èëè ÊÎÌÀÍÄÀ
2
: ÒÅÊÑÒ2 èëè ÊÎÌÀÍÄÀ2
...
}

ÊÎÍÅ×ÍÛÉ ÒÅÊÑÒ

After picking up the phone, the subscriber is given the "START TEXT", then the "MENU TEXT" is played with a description of the menu items and acceptable actions. After pressing the key on the numeric keypad of the phone corresponding to the desired item, the subscriber can be voiced the text "TEXT" or perform one or more consecutive "COMMANDS". After exiting the menu, the "END TEXT" is voiced".

The server does not accept more than ten identical requests for actions with templates within a minute to reduce the load and protect against errors and loops in the Client-side program.

Virtual sending (test mode)

This mode of operation allows you to test sending messages without actually transmitting them to operators. It can be useful for initial setup and testing of various software and hardware. To enable this mode, you need to go to your personal account under "Settings" in the drop-down block "API Settings", check the box "Test mode (virtual sending without payment)".

During virtual sending, all messages will have the final status "Delivered", but during the sending process, the messages will go through all the stages of processing along the chain "Waiting to be sent" – "Sent to the operator" – "Delivered". You can get message statuses either on request or on your own http handler. You can send both single messages and mass mailings. You can test different types of messages (SMS, binary messages, HLR, MMS, call), except for e-mail..

Event Notifications

When certain events occur, you may need to send notification messages containing the information necessary to process these events. To solve such problems, you can use the extension of our monitoring system, which allows you to send various notifications through our service from external systems. To do this, in your personal account on the page "Creating a task group" you need to create an appropriate group, where you can specify notification templates, types of messages sent when an event occurs, and contacts for notifications (phone numbers, e-mail addresses, jabber accounts).

To send a notification, you need to call the GET or POST address method: https://smscentre.com/sys/ping.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&id=<id>
The following parameters are passed to the server:

OptionThe value
loginCustomer Login.
pswClient Password (you can add or change it on this page).
idID of the task group (the "ID" column").
nameThe name of the rule or server in the task. Replaces the {NAME} macro in the notification text.
hostThe address or IP of the server being checked. Replaces the {HOST} macro.
infoAdditional information about the event. Replaces the {INFO} macro.
okWhen generating a notification, use the following template:
0 – (by default) a task group template is used, which is sent when a failure occurs.
1 – the task group template that is sent during recovery is used.

If an error occurs, the Server returns the following string:
  • ERROR = N (description)

  • When fmt = 1:
    0,-N

  • When fmt = 2:
    <result>
    <error>description</error>
    <error_code>N</error_code>
    </result>

  • When fmt = 3:
    {
    "error": "description",
    "error_code": N
    }
N – error number, can take the following values:

The valueDescription
1Error in parameters.
2Invalid username or password. Also occurs when trying to send a message from an IP address that is not included in the list of allowed by the Client (if such a list was previously configured by the Client).
3Task group not found.
4The IP address is temporarily blocked.
9Attempt to send more than five identical notification requests within a minute.
This error also occurs when you try to send fifteen or more requests simultaneously from different connections under the same username (too many concurrent requests).

If the request is successful, the Server returns a response in the form of a string.

  • when fmt = 0 and fmt = 1: OK

  • when fmt = 2:
    <result>OK</result>

  • when fmt = 3:
    {
    "result": "OK"
    }

The server does not accept more than five identical requests to send a notification within a minute to reduce the load and protect against errors and loops in the Client-side program.

Actions with mailing lists

To create a mailing list, you need to call the GET or POST address method:
https://smscentre.com/sys/jobs.php?add=1&login=<login>&psw=<password>&name=<name>&phones=<phones>&mes=<message>
To delete a mailing list, call the GET or POST address method:
https://smscentre.com/sys/jobs.php?del=1&login=<login>&psw=<password>&id=<id>
To disable a mailing list that is waiting to be sent, you must call the GET or POST address method:
https://smscentre.com/sys/jobs.php?cancel=1&login=<login>&psw=<password>&id=<id>
To get information about a particular mailing list, you need to call the GET or POST address method:
https://smscentre.com/sys/jobs.php?get=1&login=<login>&psw=<password>&id=<id>
To receive mailing list, you need to call method GET or POST address:
https://smscentre.com/sys/jobs.php?get_all=1&login=<login>&psw=<password>
Description of the parameters passed to the Server when creating a mailing list (any of the additional parameters is applied to each message in the mailing list; to work with e-mail newsletters, you must pass the additional parameter mail=1 in the request):

OptionThe value
loginCustomer Login.

nameMailing list name.
phonesThe number or comma-separated or semicolon-separated list of mobile phone numbers in international format to which the message is sent. Numbers can be passed without the "+ " sign. If the number is passed without the " + " sign, it can be corrected by automatic formatting and converted to the correct international format. Thus, some errors when entering phone numbers can be corrected automatically. To disable auto-correction, pass the number with the "+ " sign.".
You can also send a message to a group of numbersby specifying a special code " G<íîìåð ãðóïïû>". The message will be sent to all numbers belonging to this group. For an e-mail message, a list of recipients' e-mail addresses is transmitted .
mesThe text of the message being sent. The maximum size is 1000 characters. If necessary, the message will be divided into several SMS messages sent to the subscriber and paid separately. Size of one SMS – 160 characters in Latin or 70 characters in Cyrillic. When splitting a message into multiple SMS messages, a header is added to each part to combine the parts into a single message on the recipient's phone, and the maximum length becomes 67 for Cyrillic and 153 for Latin letters. You can add comments to the message text that are intended for the sender to view the history in the personal account.

Checking the status

To check the delivery status of SMS or e-mail, you need to call the GET or POST address method: https://smscentre.com/sys/status.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&phone=<phone>&id=<sms_id>
The following parameters are passed to the server:

OptionThe value
loginCustomer Login.
pswClient Password (you can add or change it on this page).
phoneA phone number or a comma-separated list of numbers when requesting the statuses of multiple SMS messages. For multiple requests, the numbers in the list must be be listed in the order corresponding to the message IDs. To preserve the format of a multiple request, when requesting the status of a single message , enter a comma after the phone number. This description is also suitable for e-mail messages.
idMessage ID or a comma-separated list of IDs when requesting the statuses of multiple messages. To preserve the format of a multiple request when requesting the status of a single message, specify a comma after the message ID.
fmtServer response format:
0 – (default) as a string (Status = 1, check_time = 10.10.2010 10:10:10).
1 – in the form of a status number and a time stamp separated by commas (1,1286524541).
2 – in xml format.
3 – in json format.
all0 – (by default) get the status of the message in the usual format.
1 – get full information about the sent message.
2 – add data about the subscriber's country, operator, and region to the message information.
charsetThe encoding of the query result, if used other than the default windows encoding-1251. Options: utf-8 and koi8-r.
del1 – delete a previously sent message. Used in conjunction with the phone and id parameters. This parameter is described in more detail here.

Server response and error codes

If an error occurs, the Server returns the following string:
  • When fmt = 0:
    ERROR = N (description)

  • When fmt = 1:
    0,-N

  • When fmt = 2:
    <result>
    <error>description</error>
    <error_code>N</error_code>
    </result>

  • When fmt = 3:
    {
    "error": "description",
    "error_code": N
    }
N – error number, can take the following values:

The valueDescription
1Error in parameters.
2Invalid username or password. Also occurs when trying to send a message from an IP address that is not included in the list of allowed by the Client (if such a list was previously configured by the Client).
4The IP address is temporarily blocked.
5Error deleting a message.
9Attempt to send more than five requests to get the status of the same message or more than one mass request within a minute.
This error also occurs when you try to send five or more requests simultaneously from different connections under the same username (too many concurrent requests).

If the request is successful, the Server returns a response in the form of a string:

If the message is not found or is in the archive database (the status value is -3), then the status code in the appropriate format is returned for fmt = 0,2,3 . For fmt = 1, a response is returned in the format of the status of a regular message.

When multiple statuses are requested:
  • for fmt = 0 and fmt = 1, the result returns a list of lines, each of which contains information about the status of the corresponding message.
  • for fmt = 2, the format of the returned statuses is similar to the format for single messages, with the entire list of statuses contained in the "<list>" tag.
  • for fmt = 3, the format is also similar to the format for single messages, statuses are separated by commas, and the entire list is framed by square brackets.
In the case of multiple status requests, when the parameter all = 1 or all = 2 is set, the message identifier is additionally returned for each status . If all = 0, the message ID and phone number are additionally returned.

Status codes

Possible variants of message status codes or HLR requests (values of <status>):

CodeNameDescription
-3Message not foundOccurs if no message was found for the specified phone number and ID.
-2StoppedOccurs in messages from the mailing list that did not have time to leave the operator until the moment of temporary suspension of this mailing on the pageMailing lists and tasks.

Transmitting statuses and messages to the Client handler

In the Client's personal account in "User settings" it is possible to specify the http (s) address (URL) of the script for processing the delivery statuses of messages, incoming SMS messages, as well as service messages (when using the service "Confirm the number with a call") on the Client side. The specified script will be called by the Server after each receipt of the delivery status of a message previously sent by the Client, after receiving an incoming SMS message from the subscriber or a call from the subscriber (when using the "Number Confirmation by Call" service").

In the address of the handler, you can specify the charset parameter to select the encoding of the transmitted parameters: ?charset=utf-8
?charset=koi8-r
?charset=windows-1251
The default encoding is windows-1251.

Also, in the address of the status handler and incoming messages, you can pass the fmt parameter to specify the format of the returned parameters. Possible values: fmt=2 (for xml format) and fmt=3 (for json format). When transmitting the fmt parameter, the koi8-r encoding is not used.

To protect the transmitted data from spoofing , you can additionally specify any of the md5, sha1, or crc32 parameters in the handler address that define the algorithm for calculating the control parameter with the string hash:
"id:phone:status:<ñåêðåòíàÿ ñòðîêà>" − for the delivery status
"phone:mes:to:<ñåêðåòíàÿ ñòðîêà>" − for an incoming message
"phone:ts:<ñåêðåòíàÿ ñòðîêà>" − to confirm the number with a call
in the form of:
?md5=<ñåêðåòíàÿ ñòðîêà>
?sha1=<ñåêðåòíàÿ ñòðîêà>
?crc32=<ñåêðåòíàÿ ñòðîêà>
You can use Latin letters, numbers, minus signs, and underscores as secret string characters. The corresponding parameter will be passed to the handler, in which the secret string will be replaced with the hash value of the transmitted data.

All parameters are passed by the POST method (for fmt=2 and fmt=3, the parameters are passed in the request body).

Transmitted parameters for the SMS message status:

OptionThe value
idMessage ID.
phonePhone number.
statusMessage status.
timeTime of status change (or delivery of an SMS message to the subscriber).
Format: DD.MM.YY hh: mm: ss (by the time zone specified in the settings).
tsTime to change the status in the form of a stamp in seconds.
errError code if the message cannot be delivered (list). Passed if not equal to zero.
syserrAdditional error from the operator, not always present.
cntThe number of parts (when sending an SMS message) or the number of seconds (when sending a voice message (call)).
typeMessage type (0 – SMS, 1 – Flash-SMS, 2 – Binary SMS, 3 – Wap-push, 4 – HLR-request, 5 – Ping-SMS, 6 – MMS, 7 – Call, 10 – Viber, 12 – Social Networks).
costMessage cost.

ringtimeWaiting time for the subscriber to pick up the phone.

In addition to the standard parameters described above, the Server will also send all the parameters specified in the http(s) address of the handler after the"? " sign using the POST method".

To distinguish between the status of a message, an incoming SMS message, or a service message (when using the "Confirm number by calling" service), you can check for the presence of the mes parameter (for an incoming message) and waitcall in the same handler (for the number confirmation service): if (isset($_POST["mes"])) {
   
// message
}
elseif (isset(
$_POST["waitcall"])) {
   
// confirmation
}
else {
   
// status
}

Statuses are forwarded to the Client handler only when sending messages over the HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, or SMPP protocols. When sending messages from the personal account, the transfer of statuses to the Client's handler does not occur.

If the Client handler returns a response with an error code other than 200 or 404, the Server will repeat the request to the handler with a certain frequency (1 request every 4 minutes, total 50 attempts).

Connecting anti-spam verification (captcha) to the site

Sometimes there is a need to send messages from your site at the request of users, and in such cases, to exclude automated spam mailings with the help of robots, you can easily implement anti-spam verification using our service.

To do this, it is enough to place a special code for displaying the image (captcha) and fields for entering the code on the form for sending messages:

Êîä ñ êàðòèíêè <img src="https://smscentre.com/sys/imgcode.php?1.1" onclick="src+=1" width="50" height="18" border="1">
<
input type="text" size="9" name="code">
and pass it with other form data to the corresponding message sending script as the value of the imgcode parameter.

Also, with this parameter, you must pass the value of the IP address of the user to whom the image was displayed as the value of the userip parameter.

Examples:

Example of a script for sending messages using the code from the image (captcha) received from the form:

include_once "smsc_api.php";

if (
$_POST["sendsms"]) {
   
$r = send_sms($_POST["phone"], "Âàø êîä äëÿ ðåãèñòðàöèè íà ñàéòå mysite.com 123321.", 0, 0, 0, 0, false, "imgcode=".$_POST["code"]."&userip=".$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]);

if (
$r[1] > 0)
    echo
"<script>alert('Ñîîáùåíèå îòïðàâëåíî íà íîìåð ".$_POST["phone"]."')</script>";
elseif (
$r[1] == -10)
    echo
"<script>alert('Âû ââåëè íåâåðíûé êîä ñ êàðòèíêè!')</script>";
}

Confirm your phone number with a call

For various types of operations, such as password recovery, authorization in public Wi-Fi networks, confirmation of money transfers, logging in to your personal account, and so on, you need to send authentication data. Using our API, you can organize the procedure for confirming the phone number by calling the subscriber himself.

To create a request to receive a phone number, at which the subscriber will have to make a confirmation call, you need to call the address using the GET or POST method: https://smscentre.com/sys/wait_call.php?login=<login>&psw=<password>&phone=<phone>
The following parameters are passed to the server:

OptionThe value
loginCustomer Login.
pswClient Password (you can add or change it on this page).
phoneThe phone number of the subscriber from which the confirmation call will be made.

If an error occurs, the Server returns the following string:
  • ERROR = N (description)

  • When fmt = 1:
    0,-N

  • When fmt = 2:
    <result>
    <error>description</error>
    <error_code>N</error_code>
    </result>

  • When fmt = 3:
    {
    "error": "description",
    "error_code": N
    }
N – error number, can take the following values:

The valueDescription
1Error in parameters.
2Invalid username or password. Also occurs when trying to send a message from an IP address that is not included in the list of allowed by the Client (if such a list was previously configured by the Client).
3Insufficient funds on the Client's account.
4The IP address is temporarily blocked.
5The specified phone number of the subscriber is in the black list of the Client.
9Attempt to send more than fifty identical requests to get a phone number for confirmation within a minute.
This error also occurs when you try to send fifteen or more requests simultaneously from different connections under the same username (too many concurrent requests).

If the request is successful, the Server returns a response in the form of a string.

  • when fmt = 0: phone = <phone>, all_phones = <all_phones>

  • when fmt = 1 (the first is the number to which the subscriber needs to call): <all_phones>

  • when fmt = 2:
    <result>
    <phone>phone</phone>
    <all_phones>
    <phone>phone</phone>
    ...
    <phone>phone</phone>
    </all_phones>
    </result>

  • when fmt = 3:
    {
    "phone": "<phone>",
    "all_phones": [
    <phone>",
    ...
    "<phone>"
    ]
    }

Where:
<phone> – the phone number to which the subscriber must make a call within 15 minutes to confirm their phone number.
<all_phones> – a list of all possible phone numbers, one of which was assigned by the system to call the subscriber (depending on the country).

After the subscriber's call, the Server records the fact of the call in the form of an incoming message with the text "[waitcall] " and sends all the necessary information about this call to the Client's handler.

The server does not accept more than fifty identical requests to get a phone number for confirmation within a minute to reduce the load and protect against errors and loops in the Client-side program.
