Send Messages from an Application¶

This guide gives an application, such as an OTA platform, an API token to send messages with.

1. Create a user for the application¶

In the UI, go to Users and click Create. Set:

Email: an address for the application, such as [email protected]
Password: any password of at least 8 characters
Role: Submitter

Click Create.

2. Create an API token¶

Open the user, and in API Tokens, click Create Token. Name it after the application, check No expiry, and click Create.

Copy the token. It is not shown again.

3. Configure the application¶

Send a message with the token:

curl http://<host-ip>:5010/api/v1/messages \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ellasmsc_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"from": "+15550001000", "to": "+15551230002", "text": "hello"}'
