Whether you’re looking to send SMS messages, emails, download your inbox or manage your account, our API offers secure and flexible endpoints to integrate your application with SMS functionality.\n\n## **Getting Started**\n\nFollow these steps to generate an API key and send your first SMS via the 5c SMS API.\n\n### Step 1: Generate Your API Key\n\n1. Go to [https://www.5centsms.com.au/dashboard/api](https://www.5centsms.com.au/dashboard/api)\n    \n2. In the **API Key Management** section, specify a **Key Alias** to help identify your key.\n    \n3. Click **Create New API Key**.\n    \n4. Copy the generated **Key ID** and **Key Secret**.\n    \n\n> ⚠️ **Important:** Store your credentials securely. The Key Secret will not be shown again after this step. \n  \n\n---\n\n### Step 2: Send Your First SMS\n\nUse the following Bash script to send a test SMS:\n\n``` bash\ncurl -X POST https://www.5centsms.com.au/api/v5/sms \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n    \"key-secret\": \"Paste Key Secret here\",\n    \"key-id\": \"Paste Key ID here\",\n    \"sender\": \"0404123123\",\n    \"to\": \"Paste recipient number here\",\n    \"message\": \"Hello World\"\n  }'\n\n ```\n\n## **Using Postman to Explore the API**\n\nPostman is a powerful tool that allows you to explore, test, and interact with our API without writing any code. We provide a complete Postman collection that includes all available endpoints, sample requests, and descriptions of required parameters.\n\n**Here’s how to get started:**\n\n1. **View Available Endpoints**\n    \n    On the left-hand side, you’ll see a list of all API groups (e.g., Sending SMS, Manage Your Account). Click into any group to see individual endpoints such as Send SMS, Get Balance, or View Messages.\n    \n2. **Understand the Request Details**\n    \n    In the top-right corner of the request tab, click **Documentation** button on the right of the page to vew full details for the API request.\n    \n3. **Set Your Request Variables**\n    \n    Before testing any requests, set the request variables by selecting Body under the URL.\n    \n4. **Send a Test Request**\n    \n    Choose an endpoint, enter required values (e.g., recipient number and message), and click “Send.” You’ll see the API response immediately in the bottom pane, including success status or any error messages.\n    \n5. **Generate Sample Code**\\*_In the top-right corner of the request tab, click the \\*__\\\\_**Code** button (it looks like a pair of angle brackets). This opens the **“Generate Code Snippets”** window.  \n    On the left side of the popup, you’ll see a list of supported languages and libraries (e.g., cURL, Python (requests), Node.js (axios), PHP, Ruby, Java, etc.).\n    \n\n###### For users of Previous/Legacy APIs, [access their documentation here](https://www.5centsms.com.au/dashboard/apiDocs#!/v4).","schema":"https://schema.getpostman.com/json/collection/v2.0.0/collection.json","isPublicCollection":false,"owner":"45099922","team":7906032,"collectionId":"da7922f5-3dbe-471c-ba24-17fcd077094c","publishedId":"2sB3Wwowe9","public":true,"publicUrl":"https://docs.5centsms.com.au","privateUrl":"https://go.postman.co/documentation/45099922-da7922f5-3dbe-471c-ba24-17fcd077094c","customColor":{"top-bar":"FFFFFF","right-sidebar":"303030","highlight":"FF6C37"},"documentationLayout":"classic-double-column","customisation":{"metaTags":[{"name":"description","value":"This documentation provides everything you need to successfully integrate with our API.
