HTTP(S) API Description
Updated over a week ago

This document provides the HTTP API description for external systems' integration with the CommPeak SMS service. HTTPS API enables SMS submitting and checking delivery status.

You can set authentication information (login and password) for connecting to the CommPeak SMS platform when you create your SMS channels. Each API request must contain credentials; otherwise, the system will reject it as unauthorized.

You can send requests either using GET or POST methods to the URL provided by the system owner.

  • HTTPS:

    https://sms1.commpeak.com:8002/api?username=<username>&password=<password>&ani=<ani>&dnis=<dnis>&message=<message>&command=submit&serviceType=<serviceType>&longMessageMode=<longMessageMode>
  • HTTP:

    http://sms1.commpeak.com:8001/api?username=<username>&password=<password>&ani=<ani>&dnis=<dnis>&message=<message>&command=submit&serviceType=<serviceType>&longMessageMode=<longMessageMode>

ANI

Caller ID. Technical limitation - alpha-numeric up to 32 symbols. Peculiarities of the destination route can impose additional restrictions.

LongMessageMode

Type of long messages processing. The following values are allowed:

  • cut (trim message text to 140 bytes) - shortens the message leaving only the first 140 bytes to send.

  • split

  • split_sar - splits the message according to the logic described below. The difference between split and split_sar is in the header to be used, for split, it is UDH header, for split_sar, it is SAR accordingly.

  • payload - message_payload field is used for sending the message text via SMPP protocol.

The splitting (options 2/3) depends on the encoding:

  • dataCoding = 0: one message can contain up to 160 symbols, if more – segment count = message length / 152

  • dataCoding from 1 to 7: one message can contain up to 140 symbols, if more – segment count = message length / 134

  • dataCoding = 8: one message can contain up to 70 symbols (140 bytes), if more – segment count = message length / 67 (134 bytes)

All parameters except for LongMessageMode are obligatory, the default value for LongMessageMode is 1 (cut).

Response format:

In the case of successful processing, the HTTP response status is 200 OK. The response body contains the message_id in JSON format.

Response sample:
