TRAI & DLT Compliant 4.8/5 Rated
One REST API for every SMS your application sends

Bulk SMS API for Developers in India with 99.9% Uptime

Integrate transactional alerts, OTPs and promotional campaigns into your product with a clean REST API, sample code in PHP, Java, Python and .NET, webhook delivery reports and 99.9% uptime monitored round the clock.

  • TRAI-DLT compliant
  • 230+ operator routes
  • 24x7 support

Developers choose Guru SMS as their bulk SMS API provider in India because integration takes an afternoon, not a sprint. Authenticate with a secure API key, post a JSON payload, and your application is sending DLT-compliant messages across 230+ direct operator connections. Detailed documentation, sandbox testing and ready sample code in PHP, Java, Python and .NET remove every step of guesswork.

Reliability is engineered in, not promised. The gateway maintains 99.9% uptime with automatic failover across redundant infrastructure, while a high-priority transactional route pushes OTPs and alerts at 98-99% delivery. Webhook callbacks stream delivery receipts to your server in real time, so your CRM, ERP or e-commerce backend always knows which message reached which customer and exactly when.

Scaling never needs a renegotiation. The same API that helps a startup send a few hundred order confirmations daily already powers the enterprises behind our 200M+ delivered SMS. Bulk endpoints for lakh-size batches, throttling controls, Unicode support for regional language alerts and in-panel DLT template mapping mean your engineering team ships messaging once and forgets about it.

Features

Everything you get with SMS API

RESTful JSON API

Send single or bulk messages with simple HTTP POST calls; clear status codes and descriptive error messages make debugging painless.

Plug-and-Play Sample Code

Copy-paste snippets in PHP, Java, Python and .NET keep typical integrations under one hour from API key to first message.

99.9% Uptime

Redundant gateways with automatic failover keep your OTPs and alerts flowing even during operator-level outages and festive traffic storms.

Webhook Delivery Reports

Real-time callbacks push delivered, failed and pending statuses straight to your endpoint, eliminating polling and keeping databases in sync.

Dedicated OTP Route

A separate high-priority pipeline delivers one-time passwords in seconds at 98-99% success, isolated from promotional traffic queues.

Secure by Default

HTTPS-only endpoints, IP whitelisting and revocable API keys protect your account, while DLT scrubbing keeps every message TRAI compliant.

FAQs — Bulk SMS API

How long does API integration take?

Most developers send their first test message within an hour using our sample code in PHP, Java, Python or .NET. A typical production integration with webhooks and error handling completes in one to two days, and our engineers assist on call throughout.

Do I need DLT registration before using the API?

Yes, TRAI mandates DLT registration for all application-originated SMS in India. Register your entity, headers and templates once, map the template IDs into your API payloads, and every message clears operator scrubbing. We provide complete DLT registration assistance to speed this up.

How do delivery report webhooks work?

Register a callback URL in the panel and our gateway posts a JSON receipt for every message, carrying status, operator, timestamp and your custom reference ID. Receipts typically arrive within seconds of handset delivery, letting your application reconcile in real time.

What uptime and delivery rates does the API offer?

The gateway maintains 99.9% uptime with automatic failover across redundant infrastructure. Transactional and OTP traffic delivers at 98-99% while promotional routes achieve 90-95%, riding 230+ direct operator connections that avoid grey-route drops entirely.

Can the API send OTP messages?

Yes. A dedicated OTP route prioritises one-time passwords ahead of all other traffic, delivering most within seconds. Use the same REST endpoint with the OTP route flag, and pair it with webhooks to trigger resend logic only when genuinely needed.

Does the API support regional language messages?

Fully. Pass Unicode content and the gateway handles Hindi, Odia, Bengali, Tamil and every Indian script with correct encoding and character counting. Multilingual transactional alerts are especially popular with clients serving tier-2 and tier-3 customers.

Is there a sandbox for testing?

Yes. Sandbox credentials let your team test request formats, webhook handling and error scenarios without consuming production credits or messaging real customers. Once flows look right, switching to production is a one-line credential change.

What support do developers get after going live?

24x7 technical support includes engineers who inspect your actual API logs, response codes and webhook traffic. Escalations reach our Bhubaneswar operations team directly by phone at +91-9853084604, and documentation is updated continuously with worked examples.
