In article Getting Started with Opaali API Part 2 we learned how to send a MT text message. Lets now see how to send a binary message. First, we’ll revisit the API Reference.
Read MoreExtending send.sh with -hex switch
(and åäö support too)
I promised to add more functionality to the send.sh script, so I thought that adding the -hex switch would be simple enough. Not quite, as the hex string I tested with happened to be text containing the scandinavian characters ö and ä which lead to the dreaded Bad Request error from Opaali API.
Writing a send application as a shell script
send.sh explained
Now that we know how to send an SMS message using the Opaali API and shell tools (see Getting started with Opaali API - Parts 1-3), we can write a (bash) shell script that acts like the send command that came with Content Gateway (CGW).

Checking sent message delivery status
When you send an MT message using outboundMessageRequest, you get back a resourceURL which you can use to check the delivery status of the sent message.
{
"resourceReference" : {
"resourceURL" : "https://api.opaali.telia.fi/production/messaging/v1/outbound/tel%3A%2B358000000000/requests/3eef0382-0014-45ea-9ee5-1ebce10e829d"
}
}
My curl(s) are better than yours
(or: why don't my curl examples work for you?)
Depending on your environment and the version of the curl application you have, my curl examples might fail for you.
