To send a sms

var payload = {
    origin: 'from number',
    destination: 'destination',
    message: 'This is a test message'
}

smsglobal.sms.send(payload, function (error, response) {
    console.log(response);
});

To fetch a list outgoing sms

var promise = smsglobal.sms.getAll();

promise
    .then(function(response) {
        console.log(response)
    })
    .catch(function(error){
        console.log(error)
    });

To fetch an outgoing sms by id

var id = 'outgoing-sms-id';
var promise = smsglobal.sms.get(id);

promise
    .then(function(response) {
        console.log(response)
    })
    .catch(function(error){
        console.log(error)
    });

To fetch a list incoming sms

var promise = smsglobal.sms.incoming.getAll();

promise
    .then(function(response) {
        console.log(response)
    })
    .catch(function(error){
        console.log(error)
    });

To fetch an incoming sms by id

var id = 'incoming-sms-id';
var promise = smsglobal.sms.incoming.get(id);

promise

    })
    .catch(function(error){
        console.log(error)
    });

To send an OTP

var payload = {
  origin: 'from number',
  message: '{*code*} is your SMSGlobal verification code.',
  destination: 'destination'
};

// {*code*} placeholder is mandatory and will be replaced by an auto generated numeric code.

smsglobal.otp.send(payload, function(error, response) {
  if (response) {
    console.log(response);
  }

  if (error) {
     console.log(error);
  }
});

  }
}

To cancel an OTP request

The OTP request can be cancelled if it's not expired and verified yet. It can be done by either using requestId or destination number. The followings are examples of each method:

var id = 'otp-request-id'; // requestId received upon sending an OTP
var promise = smsglobal.otp.cancelByRequestId(id)

promise.then((response) => {
   console.log(response)
}).catch((err) => {
   console.log(error)
});

var destination = 'destination-number';
var promise = smsglobal.otp.cancelByDestination(id)

promise.then((response) => {
   console.log(response)
}).catch((err) => {
   console.log(error)
});

Success response object

{
  statusCode: 200,
  status: 'OK',
  data: {
    requestId: '404372541683676561917558',

}

To verify an OTP code entered by your user

The OTP code entered by your user can be verified by either using requestId or destination number. The followings are examples of each method:

var id = 'otp-request-id'; // requestId received upon sending an OTP
var code = 'otp-code'; // input code entered by your user

smsglobal.otp.verifyByRequestId(id, code, function(error, response) {
  if (response) {
    console.log(response);
  }

  if (error) {
     console.log(error);
  }
});

var destination = 'destination-number';
var code = 'otp-code'; // input code entered by your user

smsglobal.otp.verifyByDestination(id, code, function(error, response) {
  if (response) {
    console.log(response);
  }

  if (error) {
     console.log(error);
  }
});

Success response object
