SMS API Usage

The pindo api needs your Token. You can either pass the token directly to the constructor (see the code below) or via environment variables.

# cURL

# Send a single sms
curl -X POST \
https://api.pindo.io/v1/sms/ \
-H 'Accept: */*' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer your-token' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{

"text" : "Hello from Pindo",
"sender" : "Pindo"

# Send bulk sms
curl -X POST \

Inbound SMS API Usage

Pindo Inbound messaging allows you to have two-way SMS communication. By quickly setting up a Webhook URL in Pindo's dashboard, you will receive any event on your configured short or long code.

Verify API Usage

PindoVerfiy API lets you send a PIN to a user's phone and validate that they received it. PindoVerfiy can be used for a number of authentication and anti-fraud purposes, such as 2-factor authentication, password-less sign-in, and validating users’ phone numbers.

An example of a successfully generated PIN.

    "message": "success",
    "network": "63510",
    "remaining_balance": 487.49,
    "request_id": 4
}
