Service status

The state of the platform is public at status.getsms.tech. The same data can be read through the API, without a key: to show a banner in your application, pause your sends during an outage or feed your own monitoring.

RSS feed

E-mail alerts

POST/v1/status/subscribeno key · double opt-in

Subscribes an address to incident and maintenance e-mails. A confirmation link, valid for 48 hours, is sent to the address: nothing is sent until it is opened. The form of status.getsms.tech calls this route.

emailstringrequired

The address to subscribe.

langstring

fr (default) or en: language of the e-mails.

}

The answer is the same whether the address is new, pending or already subscribed: it never reveals who is subscribed. API messages are in French. One IP address can make 5 subscriptions per hour.

The links of the e-mails lead to two routes, which then send the person back to the status page:

• GET /v1/status/subscriptions/confirm?token=… confirms the subscription (?subscribed=1, or ?subscribed=0 if the link has expired).
• GET /v1/status/subscriptions/unsubscribe?token=… unsubscribes the address (?unsubscribed=1). Every e-mail contains this link.
