Our XML API is right for you, if as a mobile applications developer...
- You need a simple integration application that offers excellent interoperability amongst heterogeneous systems.
- You need a language independent application that can be used for batch sending.
- You need alternative gateway escalation options as well as prioritised queuing.
- You need to allow for delayed delivery; Clickatell offers you 7 days as well as the option to stop or delete messages during this period.
- You need to enable your site or application with Token Pay for 'spend a voucher' campaigns.
- You need to ensure that customers can query network coverage status as well as text message delivery status (pull only)
- You need to set maximum credit charges and enable options for balance enquiries.
- You need to add security features to your SMS options with SSL encryption for outbound messages.
For developers' familiar with XML, we offer this interface with its own set of
DTD's. Although two-way messaging is not a feature of the XML API, you can use our
other connections such as HTTP, FTP or SMPP to receive your inbound SMS messages.
The entire range of SMS Gateway API connections has the following features:
- They are all fast, reliable and easy to integrate into any system.
- They all support text, Unicode, binary SMS, EMS and Flash text messaging.
- They all support extended length messages.
- They all offer delivery acknowledgment.
- They all allow customers to specify sender ID details.
- They all come with excellent documentation, script libraries and converters.
- They all offer logo and ringtone converters (VCards and VCal).
- Most of them have bi-directional features and so we can offer two-way messaging capability in over 100 countries.
- Clickatell's technical staff is extensively trained in all products.
- Clickatell offers an extensive network reach to over 200 countries through more than 700 networks.
