SMS REST API

SMS REST API

A REST API (Representational State Transfer) is an application program interface (API) that mainly uses the HTTP protocol requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data from a program to a responsive web service. An SMS REST API is the easiest way for software developers to send SMS messages using your existing software and websites.
