SMS credits, API keys, and compliance gates

SMS API for approved business notifications.

Text King gives small teams a Textbelt-simple API for consent-based operational SMS: appointment reminders, order updates, account alerts, and support follow-ups from businesses that pass review.

Live send requestqueued

Approval before sending

Every business account starts in review so live traffic stays consent-based and carrier friendly.

Operational SMS first

Send appointment reminders, order updates, account alerts, and support follow-ups after approval.

API under the hood

Textbelt-style simplicity with paid credits, quota checks, and delivery callbacks.

Public business and consent review

Text King is not for cold outreach or purchased lists. Business customers buy credits, submit their use case, and stay pending until Text King verifies the sender identity, message purpose, recipient opt-in path, and sample messages.

Operator

Text King is operated by Trendy Analysis Software Corp. for approved small-business SMS programs.

Reviewed use cases

New keys are manually checked for business identity, message purpose, sample content, and consent proof.

Consent evidence

Senders must keep auditable opt-in records and show the recipient consent path before live sends are enabled.

Review consent flow

Textbelt-simple API

The first production surface is intentionally small: send a single SMS, spend credits, track delivery, and respect opt-outs.

POST /v1/messages sends one consent-based SMS.

Authorization uses a Bearer API key, or a key form field for simple clients.

GET /quota/:key returns remaining credits and account review status.

GET /status/:textId returns current delivery status for a send.

One credit is one SMS segment; long messages spend multiple credits.

Replies containing STOP, QUIT, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, OPT OUT, or REVOKE block future sends.
