How to Integrate SMS API in Node.js

Node.js developers can integrate Bharosa SMS using axios, fetch or any HTTP client. This guide covers sending a message and handling webhooks.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 14+
• axios or native fetch
• A Bharosa SMS API key

Send an SMS with axios

Make a POST request to the send endpoint with your API key, sender ID, phone number and message body.

Handle webhooks

Create an endpoint in your Express app to receive delivery status updates. Verify the payload signature if provided.

Error handling

Wrap API calls in try/catch blocks and log failures. Use a queue like Bull for reliable background sending at scale.
