Messaging API Overview
The Programmable Messaging REST API helps you add robust messaging capabilities to your applications.
With the REST API, you can:
Base URLs
Whoosh's APIs are served over HTTPS. To ensure data privacy, unencrypted HTTP is not supported.The following API Resources use
https://api.whoosh.totogi.solutions/2010-04-01 as the base URL:API Resources related to Messaging Services use
https://messaging.whoosh.totogi.solutions/v1:The Deactivations Resource also uses the
https://messaging.whoosh.totogi.solutions/v1 base URL.Pricing information for Messaging uses the
https://pricing.whoosh.totogi.solutions/v1 base URL.Authentication
HTTP requests to the API use HTTP basic authenticationUse your Whoosh API Key as the username and your API Secret as the password for HTTP basic authentication when sending HTTP requests to Twilio.
The code samples in the API documentation show how and where to put your API Key and Secret if you're using a Helper Library to communicate with Whoosh's API.
To learn more about interacting with Whoosh's REST API, check out the Twilio Usage docs, we are 100% Twilio compatible.
