Hi Nowsms support ,
Hope you all the best for 2026 ,
it had been Three months that we did migrate from windows to nextgen server , and it is perfect , EOY traffic had been carryed correctly and on my opinion the user feeling is better. except for the user provisioning with command that doesn t exist already , but we had a workaround ( forceroutingcalback )

We wanted to use our mmsc to send alerting sms, and i saw in the documentation that this is possible
https://nowsms.com/nowsms-nextgen-for-linux-and-mac

screenshot from doc

is there any documentation regarding this use of API to send sms through MMSC ?
or i did have an hallucination ^^

thanks beforehand for your feedback ,

The easiest interface is URL parameters ... https://nowsms.com/doc/submitting-sms-messages/sending-sms-text-messages
URL parameters can be submitted using either GET or POST.

Also see: https://nowsms.com/doc/submitting-sms-messages/url-parameters

The same named URL parameters can be encoded as XML or JSON elements. JSON and XML are detected only if an appropriate content-type header is present (Content-Type: application/json or application/xml)

Hi Bryce ,
Thanks ,

i did create a user for that ( lets call him test )

curl -L -vk http://127.0.0.1:8800/?user=test&password=test&Phonenumber=%2B2626920xxxxx&text=test+message

when i type the url with the proper IP on the browser , i succesfully receive the sms , but when i tried with curl or wget , so in command line , i don't receive the sms ,
is it something i missed ?

thanks before hand for your support
have a nice day

Hi Marc,

When including multiple parameters with & in a curl request, it is often a requirement to enclose the entire URL in "double quotes" to stop the Unix shell from interpreting the ampersand as a background process operator.


Regards,

Bryce
