| HTTP Gateway |
 |
The most common method for connecting directly to the TEXTWORKS Message Platform
is via HTTP. This feature of the TEXTWORKS service allows developers to enable
their applications with SMS functionality from within most programming environments.
Sending via HTTP from within your application is as
simple as generating a HTTP request that contains the relevant variables
and sending them to the TEXTWORKS gateway, this can be in the form of a
HTTP POST or GET.
For example, you could use a standard HTTP GET request
to send messages out via our gateway, incorporating your own scripting
to send out messages that will debit credits from your TEXTWORKS account.
The TEXTWORKS HTTP gateway has been implemented into many
different business solutions including server monitoring & alert systems,
contact management databases and many other advanced applications
