SMS API Code Examples — PHP, Java, Python, Node.js & .NET

Real, working code samples for MetaReach's SMS API in every major language — send SMS, track delivery, and check balance directly from your own application.

Quick Start

Every sample on this page calls the same real endpoint — a plain HTTP GET request over HTTPS. No SDK install required in any language.

cURL

curl "https://sms.metareach.in/vb/apikey.php?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&senderid=YOURID&number=91XXXXXXXXXX&message=Hello%20there"

Replace YOUR_API_KEY and YOURID (your 6-character DLT-approved sender ID) with your own credentials. Full parameter list, optional parameters, and error codes are on the SMS API documentation page.

PHP

Send an SMS from a PHP application using a single file_get_contents() call — no library required.

Code

<?php
$apikey   = "YOUR_API_KEY";
$senderid = "YOURID";
$number   = "91XXXXXXXXXX"; // or "91XXXXXXXXXX,91XXXXXXXXXX" for multiple recipients
$message  = urlencode("Hello there");

$url = "https://sms.metareach.in/vb/apikey.php?apikey=$apikey&senderid=$senderid&number=$number&message=$message";
$response = file_get_contents($url);

$result = json_decode($response, true);
echo $result['status']; // "Success" or "false"

Node.js

Using axios (install with npm install axios):

Code

const axios = require("axios");

const params = {
  apikey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  senderid: "YOURID",
  number: "91XXXXXXXXXX",
  message: "Hello there",
};

axios.get("https://sms.metareach.in/vb/apikey.php", { params })
  .then(res => console.log(res.data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Python

Using the requests library (install with pip install requests):

Code

import requests

params = {
    "apikey": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "senderid": "YOURID",
    "number": "91XXXXXXXXXX",
    "message": "Hello there",
}

response = requests.get("https://sms.metareach.in/vb/apikey.php", params=params)
print(response.json())

Java

Using the built-in java.net.HttpURLConnection — no external dependency required.

Code

String apikey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
String senderid = "YOURID";
String number = "91XXXXXXXXXX";
String message = URLEncoder.encode("Hello there", "UTF-8");

String urlStr = "https://sms.metareach.in/vb/apikey.php?apikey=" + apikey
    + "&senderid=" + senderid + "&number=" + number + "&message=" + message;

HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(urlStr).openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
StringBuilder response = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
    response.append(line);
}
in.close();

System.out.println(response.toString());

.NET (C#)

Using HttpClient from an ASP.NET or console application:

Code

string apikey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
string senderid = "YOURID";
string number = "91XXXXXXXXXX";
string message = Uri.EscapeDataString("Hello there");

string url = $"https://sms.metareach.in/vb/apikey.php?apikey={apikey}&senderid={senderid}&number={number}&message={message}";

using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
    string response = await client.GetStringAsync(url);
    Console.WriteLine(response);
}

VB.NET

Using System.Net.WebClient for legacy VB.NET applications:

Code

Dim apikey As String = "YOUR_API_KEY"
Dim senderid As String = "YOURID"
Dim number As String = "91XXXXXXXXXX"
Dim message As String = HttpUtility.UrlEncode("Hello there")

Dim url As String = "https://sms.metareach.in/vb/apikey.php?apikey=" & apikey &
    "&senderid=" & senderid & "&number=" & number & "&message=" & message

Dim client As New WebClient()
Dim response As String = client.DownloadString(url)
Console.WriteLine(response)
