Connecting to our gateway via HTTP/S Simple, versatile internet connectivity.
HTTP/S provides just about the simplest way of programming your connection to Clickatell, and if you need to overcome a firewall problem HTTP/S is almost certainly your best solution.
What you can do when you connect via HTTP/S:
Like all our APIs, the HTTP/S connection supports text, Unicode, binary SMS and flash messaging.
It gives you support for extended length messages.
You're able to use our converters to turn ringtones and logos into the correct format.
You can use our VCard and VCal converters.
Delivery acknowledgement and sender ID can be set up.
You will have access to gateway escalation which prompts an escalation to an alternative delivery gateway, should the message be delayed for a predefined length of time, and queuing
which lets you specify up to 3 prioritised queues according to which your messages will be sent out.
Delivery delay gives you the ability to specify a delay of up to 7 days when sending messages.
You can set up batch sending and two-way messaging.
There's no charge to connect to our gateway using the HTTP/S API. To send and receive messages via the gateway you
simply need to purchase message credits. The cost of these varies depending on the volume purchased and the destination you intend sending to.
We have a convenient calculator to help you calculate your message costs.
