What you can do

Everything you do in Control Centre, from your own systems

SIM search

Look up any SIM on your account, and see where it’s been.

SIM activity

What a SIM has been doing: data, connections and messages.

SIM management

Activate, suspend, and change tariffs and limits.

SMS both ways

Send messages to your devices, and collect theirs.

Your account

Your accounts,
tariffs and tags.

Webhooks

We tell you
when things happen

Give us a web address and we send each event to it as it happens.

  • MessagesTexts from your devices, as they land
  • DeliveriesWhether each text you sent arrived
  • ChangesWhen something you asked for is done
  • SIM locationsWhen your SIMs move
Signed with your secret

Every message is signed with a secret only you and we share, so you know it came from us.

Checked before it starts

We call your address first and only switch the feed on when it answers.

It keeps trying

If your system is down we retry, and can fall back to a second address.

From known addresses

Messages come from a short list of fixed IP addresses you can allow.

Standards

Built on standards you already use

Nothing to install and no special libraries.
Any language that can make a web request can use it.

  • HTTPS only
  • REST
  • JSON
  • OpenAPI 3
  • HMAC-SHA256 signatures
  • Standard rate-limit headers
  • Versioned (v2)

Fair use, built in

5
requests a second, with short bursts of 10
5,000
requests a day for each key

Every answer tells you how much you have left.

API reference

The full reference, when you're ready

Every endpoint, field and example lives in the API reference, behind your DataSIM login.
