com.telstra.messaging - the C# library for the Messaging API v3.1.2

Send and receive SMS & MMS programmatically, leveraging Australia's leading mobile network. With Telstra's Messaging API, we take out the complexity to allow seamless messaging integration into your app, with just a few lines of code. Our REST API is enterprise grade, allowing you to communicate with engaging SMS & MMS messaging in your web and mobile apps in near real-time on a global scale.

  • API version: 3.0.0
  • SDK version: 3.1.2

Frameworks supported

Dependencies

The DLLs included in the package may not be the latest version. We recommend using NuGet to obtain the latest version of the packages:

Install-Package RestSharp
Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json
Install-Package JsonSubTypes
Install-Package System.ComponentModel.Annotations

NOTE: RestSharp versions greater than 105.1.0 have a bug which causes file uploads to fail. See RestSharp#742. NOTE: RestSharp for .Net Core creates a new socket for each api call, which can lead to a socket exhaustion problem. See RestSharp#1406.

Installation

Then include the DLL (under the bin folder) in the C# project, and use the namespaces:

using com.telstra.messaging.Api;
using com.telstra.messaging.Client;
using com.telstra.messaging.Model;

Packaging

A .nuspec is included with the project. You can follow the Nuget quickstart to create and publish packages.

This .nuspec uses placeholders from the .csproj, so build the .csproj directly:

nuget pack -Build -OutputDirectory out com.telstra.messaging.csproj

Then, publish to a local feed or other host and consume the new package via Nuget as usual.

The nuget package for Messaging V3 is published in https://www.nuget.org/packages/TelstraMessaging/, please install nuget package TelstraMessaging v3.1.2 for developing.

Install-Package TelstraMessaging -Version 3.1.2

Usage

To use the API client with a HTTP proxy, setup a System.Net.WebProxy

Configuration c = new Configuration();
System.Net.WebProxy webProxy = new System.Net.WebProxy("http://myProxyUrl:80/");
webProxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
c.Proxy = webProxy;

Getting Started

You can find the Client key and Client secret here: https://dev.telstra.com/user/me/apps.

Before sending and receiving messages you will need to get your dedicated Australian number, see Subscription section below.

For free trial accounts, you will need to setup a list of registered destinations first, see Free Trial section below.

This should be done before any interactions requiring authentication, such as sending a SMS.

Free Trial

Telstra offers a free trial for the messaging API to help you evaluate whether it meets your needs. There are some restrictions that apply compared to the full API, including a maximum number of messages that can be sent and requiring the registration of a limited number of destinations before a message can be sent to that destination. For more information, please see here: https://dev.telstra.com/docs/messaging-api/apiReference/apiReferenceOverviewEndpoints?version=3.x#FreeTrial.

Registering Free Trial Numbers

ℹ️ Only required for the free trial accounts

Register destinations for the free trial. For more information, please see here: https://dev.telstra.com/docs/messaging-api/apiReference/apiReferenceOverviewEndpoints?version=3.x#RegisteraFreeTrialNumber.

The function freeTrialNumbers.create can be used to register destinations.

It takes an object with following properties as argument:

  • freeTrialNumbers: A list of destinations, expected to be phone numbers of the form 04XXXXXXXX.

try
{
	var ft = new FreeTrialNumbers(credentials);
	var ftList = new FreeTrialNumbersList(new List<string>() { "0434000001", "0434000002" });
	var response = await ft.Create(ftList);
