HTTP Global SMS API
OpenMarket's HTTP Global SMS API lets you send both one-way and two-way messages using either JSON or XML. Both options support the same capabilities, but if you’re new to SMS messaging, we recommend JSON for its ease of use.
We recommend reading through Features of Global SMS and Things to Know to become familiar with the API's key capabilities and how to make use of them.
