API & Webhooks Integration Guide

The Sendium SMS Gateway provides a RESTful API for managing configurations, sending SMS messages, and handling Delivery Receipts (DLRs).

Interactive API Explorer: An interactive Swagger UI is built into the gateway. Once your container is running, you can access it at http://<your-server-ip>:8080/swagger-ui.

1. Authentication

Sendium uses API Keys for authentication. The type of key you need depends on the endpoint you are accessing.

• Admin Operations (e.g., managing vendors, routing rules): Require the Admin API Key. This is defined via the SMS_GATEWAY_API_KEY_ADMIN environment variable during deployment.
• Messaging Operations (e.g., sending SMS): Require a "message" type API Key. These are created and managed via the /api/admin/api-keys endpoints.

Authentication headers (e.g., Authorization: Bearer <key> or custom headers) depend on your specific implementation of the security layer, but the keys themselves must match those configured in the system.

2. Sending SMS Messages

To send an SMS, make a POST request to the /api/sms/send endpoint.

Endpoint: POST /api/sms/send

Request Body (IncomingSms):

{
  "from": "SenderID",
  "to": "+1234567890",
  "text": "Hello from Sendium!",
  "coding": "0", 
  "forwardUrl": "[https://your-app.com/webhooks/dlr](https://your-app.com/webhooks/dlr)" 
}

• from: The sender ID or phone number.
• to: The recipient's phone number.
• text: The content of the message.
• coding: (Optional) The data coding scheme (e.g., "0" for standard text, "8" for Unicode).
• forwardUrl: (Optional) A specific webhook URL to receive DLRs for this specific message.

Successful Response (200 OK):

{
  "status": "ACCEPTED",
  "internalId": "abc-123-def-456",
  "error": null
}

Save the internalId as you will need it to match incoming Delivery Receipts to the original message.

3. Handling Delivery Receipts (DLRs) via Webhooks

Sendium supports automatic forwarding of Delivery Receipts to your external systems via Webhooks.

Global vs. Message-Specific Webhooks

1. Global Webhook: Set via the quarkus.rest-client.dlr-forwarding.url environment variable. All DLRs will be sent here by default.
2. Message-Specific Webhook: Passed in the forwardUrl field when sending the SMS. This overrides the global webhook for that specific message.

Webhook Payload Format

When a DLR is received from a provider, Sendium will make an HTTP POST request to your webhook URL with the following JSON payload (DlrForwardingPayload):

{
  "smscid": "Provider_A",
  "status": "DELIVRD",
  "errorCode": "0",
  "receivedAt": "2024-10-24T10:15:30Z",
  "processedAt": "2024-10-24T10:15:31Z",
  "rawDlr": "id:123456 sub:001 dlvrd:001 submit date:2410241015 done date:2410241015 stat:DELIVRD err:000 Text:Hello",
  "fromAddress": "SenderID",
  "toAddress": "+1234567890",
  "message": {
    "internalId": "abc-123-def-456",
    "text": "Hello from Sendium!"
  }
}

• status: The final status of the message (e.g., DELIVRD, REJECTD, UNDELIV).
• message.internalId: Use this to match the DLR to the response you received when calling /api/sms/send.

4. Administrative API Endpoints

The Admin API allows you to programmatically configure the gateway without editing JSON files manually.

• Vendors: Manage SMPP connections.
  • GET /api/admin/vendors - List all vendors.
  • POST /api/admin/vendors - Add a new vendor (Requires VendorConf object).
  • PUT /api/admin/vendors/{id} - Update a vendor.
  • DELETE /api/admin/vendors/{id} - Remove a vendor.
• Routing Rules: Define how messages are routed to different vendors based on conditions (e.g., regex matching on the recipient's number).
  • GET /api/admin/routing-rules - Get current rules.
  • PUT /api/admin/routing-rules - Update rules.
• API Keys: Manage client access.
  • GET /api/admin/api-keys - List all keys.
  • PUT /api/admin/api-keys - Update keys.
