A text message API is an application programming interface that allows software developers to easily add SMS text messages to their application.
APIs simplify the process for developers by allowing them to build text messaging into their platforms without building telecom infrastructure or needing complex telecom knowledge and carrier connections. Text message APIs can include features that make it easier for marketers to see how effective their SMS campaigns are, and use those insights to send better messages to their opted-in users.
Promotional text message campaigns require opt-ins from end users. Clear opt-ins—and the option to opt-out—are general requirements for A2P texting, including messages sent by API. Not having clear opt-ins will prevent your campaigns from being approved and properly registered.
An SMS gateway connects messaging with your operator networks via SMPP and MM4 protocols so that you can send text messages without investing your time and resources in building new telecom infrastructure. This can be accomplished via an API or other mechanisms (such as a direct SMPP interface).
