SEND SMS
In a few simple steps, we will explain how to send an SMS using MiMSMS HTTP API.
Firstly, you’ll need a valid MiMSMS account. When you sign up for the account, your email address will set as your username
and the API Key can be generated from your Developer Option of MiM SMS Portal.
Authorization Section:
The message will be sent only to a valid phone number (numbers), written in international format e.g.8801844909020. We strongly recommend using the international format without + (plus sign), followed by a country code, network code and the subscriber number. Phone numbers that are not recommend formatted may not work properly.
Now, you are ready to send your first SMS message using:
POST https://api.mimsms.com/api/SmsSending/SMS
