How API works
API (Application programming interface) is a set of definitions or protocols for software applications. It is like a way of interaction between computer programs. Developers use these definitions when they have more than one system need to work together, so it facilitates the interaction between those systems. When you use an application or a computer program, this application sends data to a server, the server interprets this data and then send it back to the end user. This is the simplest form of the process that takes place at the background but actually, it is a very complex process. Systems use APIs to make it easier for the user to use their service, the user himself doesn’t go through this complex process, it goes very smooth.

AVAILABLE PROTOCOLS
HTTP Protocol:
It stands for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol” which is the main and the most common protocol to transfer data on the web.
HTTP is supported by specifications that enable developers to use SMS services through this protocol.
Features of this protocol include sending messages accurately with a custom sender ID and receiving delivery notifications.
SOAP Protocol :
SOAP stands for “Simple Object Access Protocol”. It’s one of the protocols used in the process of transferring data by using standard XML format files.
SMPP Protocol:
SMPP Stands for “Short Message Peer-to-Peer Protocol” which is one of the protocols used in the process of transferring data with high speed.
SMSBOX provide application programming interface through SMPP with high specifications for software developers who prefer to use this method to transfer data.
Support XML :
XML stands for “Extensible Markup Language” which is able to describe different types of data.
XML file can contain data as in the database. It’s the main purpose to facilitate the sharing of data across different systems, practically systems connected via internet.
Facilitate the process of sending bulk SMS by using SMS gateway API. Anyone who has an account on SMSBOX can use the application programming interface service.
