The number authorisation API allows you to manage your blacklists. MessageMedia automatically adds numbers to your blacklist if people send one of the opt out keywords in response to one of your messages.
This is a legal requirement. If you decide to handle the legal compliance yourself, calls to this endpoint will not affect your messages.
Authentication is done via API keys. Sign up at https://developers.messagemedia.com/register/ to get your API keys.
Requests are authenticated using HTTP Basic Auth or HMAC. Provide your API key as the auth_user_name and API secret as the auth_password.
Our API returns standard HTTP success or error status codes. For errors, we will also include extra information about what went wrong encoded in the response as JSON. The most common status codes are listed below.
| Code | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid Request | The request was invalid |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Your API credentials are invalid |
| 403 | Disabled feature | Feature not enabled |
| 404 | Not Found | The resource does not exist |
| 50X | Internal Server Error | An error occurred with our API |

At present the jars are available from a public maven repository.
Use the following dependency in your project to grab via Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.messagemedia.sdk</groupId>
<artifactId>messages</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
It's easy to get started. Simply enter the API Key and secret you obtained from the MessageMedia Developers Portal into the code snippet below and a mobile number you wish to send to.
This endpoint returns a list of 100 numbers that are on the blacklist. There is a pagination token to retrieve the next 100 numbers.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard.Controllers;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard.Exceptions;
namespace NumberAuthTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Configuration parameters and credentials
string authUserName = "API_KEY"; // The username to use with basic/HMAC authentication
string authPassword = "API_SECRET"; // The password to use with basic/HMAC authentication
Boolean useHmacAuth = false; // Change to true if you are using HMAC keys
NumberAuthorisationClient client = new NumberAuthorisationClient(authUserName, authPassword, useHmacAuth);
APIController controller = client.Client;
try
{
dynamic result = controller.ListBlockedNumbersAsync().Result;
Console.WriteLine(result);
}
catch (APIException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message + e.ResponseCode + e.HttpContext.ToString());
};
}
}
}This endpoint allows you to add one or more numbers to your blacklist. You can add up to 10 numbers in one request.
- Numbers should be in the E.164 format. For example,
+61491570156.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard.Controllers;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard.Exceptions;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard.Models;
namespace NumberAuthTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Configuration parameters and credentials
string authUserName = "API_KEY"; // The username to use with basic/HMAC authentication
string authPassword = "API_SECRET"; // The password to use with basic/HMAC authentication
Boolean useHmacAuth = false; // Change to true if you are using HMAC keys
NumberAuthorisationClient client = new NumberAuthorisationClient(authUserName, authPassword, useHmacAuth);
APIController controller = client.Client;
try
{
List<string> mylist = new List<string>(new string[] { "+61466412529" });
Numbersarray numbers = new Numbersarray();
numbers.Numbers = mylist;
dynamic result = controller.CreateBlacklistNumbersAsync(numbers);
Console.WriteLine("result: ", result);
}
catch (APIException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message + e.ResponseCode + e.HttpContext.ToString());
};
}
}You can get a messsage ID from a sent message by looking at the message_id from the response of the above example.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard.Controllers;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard.Exceptions;
using NumberAuthorisation.Standard.Models;
namespace NumberAuthTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Configuration parameters and credentials
string authUserName = "API_KEY"; // The username to use with basic/HMAC authentication
string authPassword = "API_SECRET"; // The password to use with basic/HMAC authentication
Boolean useHmacAuth = false; // Change to true if you are using HMAC keys
NumberAuthorisationClient client = new NumberAuthorisationClient(authUserName, authPassword, useHmacAuth);
APIController controller = client.Client;
try
{
dynamic result = controller.RemoveNumberAsync("+61<number>").Result;
Console.WriteLine("result: ", result);
}
catch (APIException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message + e.ResponseCode + e.HttpContext.ToString());
};
}
}
}This endpoints lists for each requested number if you are authorised (which means the number is not blacklisted) to send to this number.
NOTE: We do this call for you internally no matter what. Use this endpoint only if you want to have some indication upfront. If you send a message which is on the blacklist, we issue a delivery receipt with the appropriate status code.
