Clickatell's SMS Gateway APIs
Clickatell's HTTP/S API: This API offers additional security features as well as being a simple and very versatile web-based connection. Known for its ability to overcome common firewall challenges, it also has batch sending capabilities.
Clickatell's SMPP API: The SMPP API is continuously connected to the SMS Gateway meaning that it is perfect for fast, bulk sending of text messages. If you need to send a minimum of 5 000 text message a month, this robust API is for you.
Clickatell's SMTP API: If there is already an email messaging system in place, the SMTP API is the best one to use. It is the industry standard for high volume text messaging and is particularly useful for notification alerts.
Clickatell's FTP API: The FTP connection is very fast and ideal for once-off high volume message dispatches. Customers using text-based databases can upload text files to Clickatell's FTP site for sending.
Clickatell's XML API: The XML API is enabled for Token Pay and is a simple to integrate, language independent API that facilitates communication between applications.
Clickatell's SOAP Protocol API: The SOAP Protocol API is a protocol for exchanging XML-based messages using HTTP/HTTPS. Using the XML-based Web Services Description Language, SOAP forms a foundation layer of the web services protocol stack.
Clickatell's COM Object API: Developers can easily integrate mobile messaging into their programmes from a Windows environment with the COM Object API.
Clickatell offers additional features with some of our SMS Gateway API products:
Authentication and security features:
-
A 2-factor authentication process where a secondary code or PIN number is sent via SMS text message before log-in is completed. Convenient and cost-effective, this security measure is used to prevent online identity theft.
-
SSL encryption on inbound and outbound messages. This is an important safety feature, particularly for mobile retail sales. Clickatell has an impeccable record as far as safety and data integrity are concerned.
-
Secure channel switching from SMS to voice or audio entry of verification PIN codes to eliminate concerns around PIN codes being stored in SMS outboxes.
-
Customer relationship tools: Intelligent customer callback service that allows users to send SMS queries to the social network administrator instead of waiting in a phone queue.
