Before you begin

Please make sure that CONNECT Support has provided you with the following information:

...

To use Delivery Reports, make sure you have made an opening in any firewalls so that Common can connect to you to transfer Delivery Reports. The addresses to open for are listed below.

Scope of this document

This document will describe the Application Programming Interface (API) to send text messages through the Sergel Connect “Common” platform. It will also describe the mechanism for delivering, to your platform, Delivery Reports for each message sent.

...

Common is a REST API. This means it uses HTTP verbs to receive commands. A basic familiarity with REST APIs is assumed, as well as a familiarity with JSON.

Capabilities of “Common” platform

Common is a high-capacity, high-availability SMS Gateway designed to let you send and receive SMS Text messages, as well as receive a notification when the text message is received by the end-user.

...

Common tracks the status of each message every step of the way until it is delivered to the end-user’s handset, and will provide you with this status through a Delivery Report. Delivery Reports can be sent in JSON, HTTP GET or POST formats.


Terms and glossary

Size limits

An SMS Text message can be a maximum of 140 bytes. With the most common character encoding, GSM-7, this translates to 160 characters. If your message is longer than 140 bytes, it must be split into multiple messages, and preceded by a header signifying that it is a multipart message. Common can handle this splitting, concatenation, and the overhead unless you want to do it yourself.

MT

Mobile Terminated. Refers to any SMS message which is sent to a mobile phone. (The message is terminated, or “ends”, at the phone.)

MO

Mobile Originated. Refers to any SMS message which is sent from a mobile phone. (The message’s origin, or beginning, is at the phone.)

Charged, Premium

An MT message can cost money for the end-user to receive. This is usually referred to as a charged message or premium message. If you are going to send charged messages to end-users, please review the rules and regulations for your country. Charged messages are only available in some countries and shortcodes. In certain markets, you can charge the end-users without actually sending them a message, so-called "Silent billing". Support will be happy to advise you if you are in doubt.

Bulk

A message which does not cost money for the end-user to receive. Bulk messages can set their Source (the “From”-field) of the message to any text, 2-11 characters a-Z. Using this feature to impersonate other parties will lead to a termination of your account.

Delivery Report

For each MT message we send, we can send you an acknowledgement when the message is confirmed received by the end-user’s handset. If the message fails for any reason, we will inform you about this. Delivery reports are mandatory for charged messages, optional for bulk.

TON

Type of Number. This identifies how systems shall interpret your Source (your “From”-field). It can be a Shortcode, an alphanumeric string, or a phone number (MSISDN). Same applies for the Destination, or recipient, of the message, though destination will almost always be an MSISDN.

KeyValue

Map with string key and string value where you may specify unique parameters.

Character Encoding

All communication to and from Common will be using UTF-8 encoding.


IP Addresses

When Common is delivering a Delivery Report to you, the requests can be coming from several different IP addresses.

...

Please configure your firewalls so that these hosts/networks can connect to your systems to deliver messages.

Sending MT messages

Base URL:s

You will get this URL assigned to you when your account is created:

https://wsx.sp247.net/sms

194.71.165.27, 195.84.162.140

Legacy

Authentication

There are two ways of doing authentication: OAuth 2.0 or Basic Authentication.

OAuth 2.0

The preferred way of authentication is using OAuth 2.0. It requires the client to obtain a token to be used in other requests.

...

Unsuccessful results will return a different HTTP status than 200 and the body will contain a error parameter in a JSON object with any of the following results: invalid_request, unsupported_grant_type, invalid_client or internal_error.

Basic Authentication

Authenticate in the HTTP request using Basic Authentication with the username and password provided by Support.

Batch sending example

The following JSON would send a message to two recipients at the same time.

...

"userData": "Hello world, second message",

"refId": "qts883r"

}

]

}

Success Result

On a successful request, Common will reply with HTTP 200 OK, or HTTP 204 No Content if “ignoreResponse” is set to TRUE. In the body you will find an array of Json objects, every object is the result of every message sent, and the messageId of every message too:

...

Please note that this is not a delivery report. Save the messageId; when the delivery report arrives, it will include the same messageId.

Sending flash sms

This is possible by just adding the customParameter “flash.sms” with the case insensitive String values “true” or “false” within the request object. The default value for this customParameter is “false”.

...

In the case of batch sendings, this value can be added within the batchSendRequest or within the SendRequestMessage. But if this customParameter is added within the batchSendRequest, then it will override its value for all the messages within this single batchSendRequest.

Example 1

Here, all the messages will be sent as flash sms, even if the flash.sms customParameter is found with the value “false”within a sendRequestMessage:

...

"userData": "Hello world, second message",

"refId": "qts883r"

}

]

}


Example 2

Here, the first message will be sent as a flash SMS, meanwhile the second one and the third one will be sent as normal SMS. This will work if the customParameter “flash.sms” is absent in the batchSendRequest.

...

"userData": "Hello world, third message",

"refId": "qts847r"

}

]

}

Scheduled delivery of MT messages

Messages may be scheduled for a later delivery but at most 3 months in the future.

...

Add the custom parameter “scheduledTime” with the value as the date that the message should be sent. The date should be formatted according to RFC3339.

Example

{

"source": "SERGEL",

"destination": "+4799999999",

...

"scheduledTime":"2017-06-07T15:30:00Z"

}

}

Obfuscation

To use obfuscation, you need to add one of these customParameters on the request object, depending on the need:

...

Please be aware that when you use the obfuscate function, you are not able to search in message logs for destination number or message content.

Obfuscation Example

Example for “obfuscate.userData”

Delivery Reports

When an MT message is delivered to a handset, or fails for any reason, you will receive a callback with a delivery report. This is required for charged messages, optional (but recommended) for free messages. If the message is multi-part message, then it will get a delivery report for each part. It can be sent in JSON, XML, or HTTP GET/POST key/value pairs. If you want to change your format or your URL, please contact Support.

Appendix 2

Silent Billing

To perform a Silent Billing (billing the end-user without them receiving a text message on their phone) set the customParameter "chargeOnly" to "true" (the string "true", not the Boolean true). Silent billing is only available in certain markets and is bound by additional agreements and restrictions. Your sales associate or Support will advise you if you are in doubt.

Examples

The following example shows how to send a premium (charged) message. The following message would cost 1 NOK for the end-user to receive. It is sent from Norwegian shortcode 2333 to Norwegian phonenumber 41560067 (country code +47). The delivery report is delivered to a predetermined gateId. (Delivery reports are required for charged messages. Only TON “SHORTNUMBER” is accepted for charged messages.)

...

"deliveryReportGates": [

"0"

]

}

Norway (Strex) only

You must also set the customParameter "authorize" to "true", and "strex.username" to your company's Strex MerchantID. On the FIRST time you bill an end-user silently, you must also set the customParameter "strex.securityLevel" to 2. On the second and subsequent requests, this parameter should not be present.

Supported TLS versions

From 2020-11-15 will TLS 1.2 or higher be required for all HTTPS connections.
