Here is an example sh script that will send an SMS using your babelforce account API credentials:

ACCESS_ID='yourlongbabelforceapiaccessidgoeshere' TOKEN='yourlongbabelforceapitokengoeshere' ENDPOINT="https://services.babelforce.com/api/1/sms" curl $ENDPOINT \ -H "X-Auth-Access-Token: $TOKEN" \ -H "X-Auth-Access-Id: $ACCESS_ID" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json' \ --data-binary '{"toNumber":"+4415112893779","displayName":"+491221312333","message":"your message here"}'

 

It's that simple.

 

Running the above on the command line will give this output:

{

  "data" : {

    "sms" : {

      "id" : 32205,

      "dateCreated" : "2014-11-13T15:50:08.389Z",

      "type" : "outbound",

      "displayName" : "491221312333",

      "to" : "4415112893779",

      "state" : "queued",

      "message" : "your message here"

    },

    "message" : "sms sent to 4415112893779",

    "success" : true

  }
