This document provides a reference for all features available to you via the HTTP interface for sending SMS.
The HTTP API allows you to integrate your Application (Client) to MarketCampaign.gr (Gateway) using the HTTP protocol to send SMS.
The Client issues a HTTP GET request to the MarketCampaign.gr HTTP interface supplying a list of required parameters. MarketCampaign.gr issues back a HTTP Response which indicates the success of the transaction.
Note that the delimiter used for status
call in returned data, '|', is the pipe character (ASCII 124).
All parameters passed must be URL-encoded and also in UTF-8, as described in the following code samples.
The API responds to all calls according to the parameter type
. Accepted values for parameter type
are: v2
which is the default value, json
and xml
.
Example of responses for API call key/get
:
URL: https://marketcampaign.gr/api/key/get?username=[username]&password=[password]&type=...

The commands available in this version of the MarketCampaign.gr API follows below.
The API Key should be used instead of username and password for all API calls. You can still use the username and password parameters, but we strongly recommend using the API Key instead for security reasons.
You acquire your API Key using the key/get
call and you use it for all API calls instead of username and password parameters. If you need to change the API Key, you can do so using the key/reset
call.
The key/get
and key/reset
calls are the only ones that require the use of username and password.
Once you get your API Key you can use it for all other API calls.
