To use our SMS API service, you need to create your own API Token.
A custom API Token is a private key that you can configure in Instasent, allowing third-party applications to interact with your Instasent account through Instasent's public Application Programming Interface (API), known as the Instasent API.
Our API enables you to connect our SMS service with your website, app, or other software/technologies, such as Bitrix24, SalesManago, Connectif, and others.
Learn more about the Instasent API in the Instasent developer documentation.
Create SMS API Token
To create an SMS API Key, click on the top right of the panel and access the 'Organization settings' section.
Note: It is not necessary to create a project to generate an API token. Therefore, you can go directly to this section as soon as you register with Instasent, without having to answer the initial questions or complete the creation of your first project.
Click on 'API tokens' and create a new SMS API token.
We recommend allocating a unique customized API token for each third-party application that interacts with your Instasent account.
When setting up your API token, you'll name it for identification purposes. Optionally, you can also specify a Callback URL where we will send SMS delivery reports (DR).
In the 'Access to scopes' section of the token creation interface, you can select the desired method of sending SMS. Choose 'Send SMS through HTTP' for integration over HTTP protocol, or 'Send SMS through SMPP' if you prefer to use the Short Message Peer-to-Peer protocol, which is often used for high-volume and high-throughput SMS traffic.
Additionally, there is an option to set the token in 'test mode'. This feature is particularly useful when you want to ensure the integration is working correctly without actually sending live SMS messages.
Once you have configured the settings and created the token, your API key will be generated. You can copy this key to proceed with the integration.
