Java
Prerequisites
Java 11+ (java.net.http.HttpClient). Portal credentials and approved senderID.
Authentication
Set Authorization: Basic with Base64-encoded email:apiKey.
SEND_SINGLE example
Equivalent to the documented curl POST:
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.util.Base64;
String email = "YOUR_EMAIL";
String apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
String auth = Base64.getEncoder()
.encodeToString((email + ":" + apiKey).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
String body = """
{"senderID":"VeloBotix","to":"0701234567","msg":"Your OTP is 483920. Valid for 5 minutes."}
""";
HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
.uri(URI.create("https://portal.velobotix.app/api.php?FUN=SEND_SINGLE"))
.header("Authorization", "Basic " + auth)
.header("Content-Type", "application/json")
.POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString(body))
.build();
HttpResponse<String> response = HttpClient.newHttpClient()
.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
System.out.println(response.statusCode() + " " + response.body());Common mistakes
URL-encoding issues if building the URI incorrectly.
Using a Sender ID that is not approved.
Blocking the UI thread — call the API from a backend service.
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
