Show HN: Dead simple SMS API
- rmetzler 9y agoI think there is a trailing \ too much in the curl example. I can't test it, because I'm in Germany, but did you implement any rate limiting? It does look like everyone could send lots of text messages over your API.
- anonfunction 9y agoI thought the same thing but having that actually made it easy to copy and paste into my terminal and then edit the number.
- helb 9y agoOne of the responses is "LIMIT REACHED", so i guess they did.
- anonfunction 9y agoPretty cool, I just tried it and it worked. I didn't like how I had to send two requests with the same message, one before and one after opting in. Ideally after opting in I would have received the initial message. Otherwise any application would have to use polling. For the code snippets you could use httpsnippet[1] or apiembed[2] to support some more languages. 1. https://github.com/Mashape/httpsnippet https://github.com/Mashape/httpsnippet 2. http://apiembed.com/ http://apiembed.com/
- tompec 9y agoDo you plan to post your API every 10 days? https://hn.algolia.com/?query=freetxtapi.com&sort=byPopularity&prefix=false&page=0&dateRange=all&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?query=freetxtapi.com&sort=byPopulari... It's a great service otherwise, but it would be nice to have more documentation.
