SMS Developer API

Transactional messaging, built into your application.

Send alerts, verification messages and customer updates through a documented API designed for real operational workflows.

Built for developers

One clear API for the messages your product needs to send.

Start with a direct integration, then add controls and delivery feedback as the workflow becomes more important.

01

Send with confidence

Submit outbound SMS through a documented API with recipient and message validation before it enters the delivery queue.

02

Estimate before sending

Check the message and destination before committing usage, so your application can make deliberate decisions.

03

Follow asynchronous status

Use callbacks for delivery events and, where needed, HLR lookup results in the systems that need them.

04

Control access

Use API tokens and optional IP restrictions to keep a production integration scoped to the right system.

From request to result

A small API surface with a clear operational lifecycle.

Your application remains in control: validate the destination, estimate usage, submit once and consume delivery events asynchronously.

01 / Authorise

One token per integration.

Keep production systems isolated with revocable credentials and optional source-IP restrictions.

  • Server-side API tokens
  • Optional IP allowlists
  • No credentials in browser code
02 / Estimate

Know the message before sending.

Use the estimate operation to validate recipient and message characteristics before committing the request.

  • Destination validation
  • Message-part awareness
  • Explicit application decision
03 / Queue

Submit without blocking your product.

Accepted messages enter an asynchronous delivery workflow and return a reference your application can retain.

  • Queued processing
  • Stable message reference
  • Transactional workloads
04 / Observe

Bring status back to your system.

Delivery callbacks let your application update its own workflow without repeatedly polling for every message.

  • Webhook callbacks
  • Delivery-state events
  • Audit-friendly processing
05 / Verify

Support identity workflows.

Use SMS for account creation, requested notifications and two-step login challenges with your own expiry and retry policy.

  • Verification codes
  • Operational notifications
  • No unsolicited marketing
06 / Scale

Pay for actual messaging.

The service is usage-based. Destination, route and sender requirements are confirmed before production traffic is enabled.

  • Country-aware routing
  • Sender review where required
  • Transparent usage records

Manage credentials, allowed sources, usage and delivery activity securely from your Silurian workspace.

Good to know. Delivery confirmation and sender behaviour depend on destination country, network and approved sending route. We will help define the appropriate setup before production use.

Developer experience

Integrate SMS into your applications easily.

Send the same authenticated JSON request from your preferred server-side stack. Keep the API token outside browser code and use the estimate operation before sending when price or message length matters.

Open the interactive API reference
curl --request POST 'https://api.silurian.net/sms/v2/send' \
  --user 'YOUR_API_TOKEN:' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "sender": "YOURBRAND",
    "message": "Your verification code is 123456.",
    "recipients": [{"msisdn": "+34XXXXXXXXX"}]
  }'
Examples use HTTP Basic authentication with the API token as username. The interactive reference also documents header, query-token and short-lived Bearer authentication.

Destination pricing

Know the destination price before your application sends.

Prices below are the current public Silurian rate per SMS part, before VAT. The API estimate operation remains authoritative because message length, destination, route and sender requirements are checked for each request.
