Tyr SMS Gateway

SMS APIs

The Tyr SMS Gateway has the capacity and technical capability to be used for sending high volumes of SMS messaging quickly and reliably to mobile users in a single country or worldwide. The SMPP API is well-suited to this use; however, we also provide our HTTP REST SMS API (HTTP-to-SMS) that can be equally suitable or our SMTP API (email to SMS / SMS to email / SMTP to SMS) if you prefer. Using these APIs, messages can be sent from your application or systems through your Tyr SMS Gateway account and delivered within seconds. Delivery receipts are also provided in realtime to indicate the delivery status of your messages.

Tutorials for how to programmatically send SMS can be found at the following:

• Send SMS (Python, Java, Go, Perl, C++, C#, Node.js, Ruby, PHP)
• Send SMS with SMPP (Python, Java, Go, Perl, C++, C#, Node.js, Ruby, PHP)
• Send SMS with REST (Python, Java, Go, Perl, C++, C#, Node.js, Ruby, PHP)

SMPP API

Use Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) to send SMS to mobiles with the highest level of control, and is suitable for low or high volumes of SMS. SMPP versions 3.3, 3.4 and 5 are supported, and TLS can be used to secure the session between your application and the Tyr SMS Gateway. We believe that for both MO and MT SMS our SMPP API of the Tyr SMS Gateway service is the most reliable, available and capable implementation available from any SMPP provider.

Our SMPP v5 reference is available to provide details on our implementation of SMPP. It is also relevant for v3.4, and to a lesser degree v3.3.

REST API

The Melrose Labs Tyr SMS Gateway service is available using our REST SMS API.

curl --location --request POST https://api.melroselabs.com/sms/message/ \
