Prerequisites
PHP with the cURL extension enabled. Portal email, API key, and an approved senderID.
Authentication
Pass email and API key to CURLOPT_USERPWD (Basic Auth).
SEND_SINGLE example
Equivalent to the documented curl POST:
<?php
$email = 'YOUR_EMAIL';
$apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
$url = 'https://portal.velobotix.app/api.php?FUN=SEND_SINGLE';
$payload = json_encode([
'senderID' => 'VeloBotix',
'to' => '0701234567',
'msg' => 'Your OTP is 483920. Valid for 5 minutes.',
]);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $payload,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_USERPWD => $email . ':' . $apiKey,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => ['Content-Type: application/json'],
]);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
echo $status . "\n" . $response;Common mistakes
Forgetting Content-Type: application/json.
Using an unapproved senderID.
Putting API keys in front-end or public repos.
Create account
Sign up in the portal and get your API key — username is your email, password is the key.
Open portal — get API key
