title: Server API Reference
---
<p>
EnvayaSMS communicates with the server via HTTP POST requests that expect an XML response.
</p>
<p>
For convenience, EnvayaSMS includes <a href='https://github.com/youngj/EnvayaSMS/tree/master/server'>server libraries and example code</a>
for certain languages to simplify handling its POST requests and generating response XML.
</p>
<p>
Drupal users can also install the <a href='https://drupal.org/project/sms_envaya'>Drupal module</a> (developed by Mark Burdett / VozMob).
</p>
<p>
If a server library is not yet available for your programming language, you can still use
EnvayaSMS by implementing code in accordance with the API reference below.
We encourage you to contribute new libraries and example code back to the EnvayaSMS project!
</p>
<h3>Testing Your Implementation</h3>
<p>
The <a href='https://raw.github.com/youngj/EnvayaSMS/master/server/php/example/www/test.html'>EnvayaSMS Request Simulator</a>
is a standalone HTML file that allows you to simulate EnvayaSMS's HTTP requests entirely in your browser via JavaScript.
</p>
<p>
Just copy the HTML file somewhere on your site, and open it in a web browser. The URL of the EnvayaSMS Request Simulator
must be on the same domain as the Server URL.
</p>
<h3>
HTTP Request Format
</h3>
<h4>Example requests</h4>
<p>
In each of the example requests below, the Server URL is <code style='white-space:nowrap'>http://192.168.70.1:3000/sg/app</code>
and the phone number of the phone with EnvayaSMS is <code>16505551212</code>.

<h4>Specification</h4>
<p>
The following parameters are sent in all POST requests from EnvayaSMS:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>"version" ::= &lt;integer&gt;</dt>
<dd>
EnvayaSMS's version code. This is an integer that will be incremented whenever
a new version of EnvayaSMS is released. (It is not the same as the version name shown
on the Help screen.)
<br />
<br />
This allows the server to support phones running different API versions at the same time.
If a deployment has many phones running with EnvayaSMS, the server should update its code first,
then the phones can be upgraded to the new version of EnvayaSMS as convenient.
</dd>
<dt>"phone_number" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The phone number of the phone running EnvayaSMS, as entered under Menu &gt; Settings.
<br /><br />
This allows the server to differentiate between EnvayaSMS clients if multiple phones
are running EnvayaSMS.
</dd>
<dt>"log" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
Log messages printed to the EnvayaSMS console since the last successful HTTP request.
<br /><br />
You may wish to append this data to a log file to allow administrators
to see error details without needing physical access to the phone.
<br /><br />
EnvayaSMS does not guarantee that the server receives log messages in order. Occasionally,
the server may receive the same log message multiple times.
</dd>
<dt>"network" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The phone's current type of internet connectivity. Typically this is either "MOBILE" or "WIFI".
</dd>
<dt>"action" ::= "outgoing" | "incoming" | "send_status" | "device_status" | "test" </dt>
<dd>
The request action determines the purpose of the HTTP request:
<dl>
<dt>"outgoing":</dt>
<dd>
Poll the server for outgoing messages
</dd>
<dt>"incoming":</dt>
<dd>
Forward an incoming SMS or MMS message to the server
</dd>
<dt>"send_status":</dt>
<dd>
Update the server on the status of sending an outgoing message
</dd>
<dt>"device_status":</dt>
<dd>
Notify the server of a change in the Android device's state.
</dd>
<dt>"test":</dt>
<dd>
Test the server connection.
</dd>
</dl>
The other POST parameters sent depend on the request action.
</dd>
</dl>
The following HTTP Headers are sent in all POST requests from EnvayaSMS:
<dl>
<dt>"X-Request-Signature" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
A signature of the request to verify the phone and the server share the same password.
(This doesn't protect against MITM snooping or replay attacks, so it is recommended to
use the <code>https://</code> protocol.)
<br />
<br />
The signature is calculated by the following algorithm:
<ol>
<li>Sort all POST parameters, not including file uploads,
by the name of the field (in the usual ASCII order).</li>
<li>Generate an input string by concatenating:
<ul>
<li>the server URL,</li>
<li>each of the sorted POST parameters, in the format name=value for each name/value pair,</li>
<li>the password,</li>
</ul>
with a comma in between each element, like so:
<br />
<code>"&lt;serverURL&gt;,&lt;name1&gt;=&lt;value1&gt;,&lt;...&gt;,&lt;nameN&gt;=&lt;valueN&gt;,&lt;password&gt;"</code>
</li>
<li>Generate the SHA-1 hash of the input string in UTF-8</li>
<li>Encode the SHA-1 hash using Base64 with no line breaks.</li>
</ol>
</dd>
</dl>
Additional parameters sent in POST requests with <code>action=incoming</code>:
<dl>
<dt>"from" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The phone number of the message sender.
</dd>
<dt>"message_type" ::= "sms" | "mms"</dt>
<dd>
Whether this message is an SMS or MMS.
</dd>
<dt>"message" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The message body of the SMS, or the content of the <code>text/plain</code> part of the MMS.
For multipart SMS messages, this field contains all parts concatenated and may be longer than 160 characters.
</dd>
<dt>"timestamp" ::= &lt;long integer&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The timestamp of the incoming message, in milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.
</dd>
<dt>"age" ::= &lt;long integer&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The length of time between when the incoming message was received by the phone, and when the message was transmitted to the server, in milliseconds.
</dd>
</dl>
Additional parameters sent in POST requests with <code>action=incoming</code> and <code>message_type=mms</code>:
<dl>
<dt>"mms_parts" ::= &lt;json_array&gt;</dt>
<dd>
Metadata for each part of the MMS. Each item in the JSON array is an object
with the following keys and values:
<dl>
<dt>"name" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The name of an additional form field where the content of the MMS part
is sent as an attached file.
</dd>
<dt>"cid" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The Content ID of the MMS part. This allows the server to resolve
references in the SMIL part of the MMS
(e.g. <code>&lt;img region="Image" src="cid:805"/&gt;</code>).
</dt>
<dt>"type" ::= "application/smil" | "text/plain" | "image/jpeg" | ...</dt>
<dd>
The Content Type of the MMS part.
</dd>
<dt>"filename" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The filename of the MMS part, as sent by the sender phone,
e.g. <code>"Image001.jpg"</code>.
</dt>
</dl>
In addition, the request contains form fields with the content of each MMS part,
with names as listed in the <code>mms_parts</code> field. Text parts are encoded in UTF-8.
</dt>
</dl>
Additional parameters sent in POST requests with <code>action=outgoing</code>:
<dl>
<dt>
(None)

of an <a href='#sms'>sms</a> tag in a previous XML response from the server).
</dd>
<dt>"status" ::= "queued" | "failed" | "cancelled" | "sent"</dt>
<dd>
The current status of the outgoing message.
</dd>
<dt>"error" ::= &lt;text&gt;</dt>

<dd>
The phone's battery level has dropped below 15%.
</dd>
<dt>"battery_okay":</dt>
<dd>
The phone's battery level is now at least 20% (after dropping below 15%).
</dd>
<dt>"send_limit_exceeded":</dt>

</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
<h3>
HTTP Response Format
</h4>
<p>
For a successful request, the server should return HTTP status code 200.
Failed requests should return HTTP status codes between 400 and 499 inclusive.
Failed requests may optionally return an error message to display in the phone logs, as
a text/xml response like <code>&lt;response&gt;&lt;error&gt;...&lt;/error&gt;&lt;/response&gt;</code>
</p>
<h4>HTTP response for action=incoming and action=outgoing</h4>
Example:
<pre>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 212
&lt;?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?&gt;
&lt;response&gt;
&lt;messages&gt;
&lt;sms id='1540' to='16505551213'&gt;This is a test&lt;/sms&gt;
&lt;sms id='1541' to='16505551214'&gt;This is a another test message.&lt;/sms&gt;
&lt;/messages&gt;
&lt;/response&gt;
</pre>
Specification:
<p>
The <code>Content-Type</code> header should be <code>text/xml</code>, with the content as follows:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>&lt;response&gt;</dt>
<dd>
The root XML element.
<br /><br />
Content:
<dl>
<dt>&lt;messages&gt; (optional if request successful)</dt>
<dd>The SMS messages to send.</dd>
</dl>
<dl>
<dt>&lt;error&gt; (optional if request failed)</dt>
<dd>An error message.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt>&lt;messages&gt;</dt>
<dd>
A container for the messages to send.
<br />
<br />
Attributes:
<dl><dt>none</dt></dl>
<br />
Content:
<dl>
<dt>&lt;sms&gt;*</dt>
<dd>The SMS messages to send.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
<dt id='sms'>&lt;sms&gt;</dt>
<dd>
Describes an outgoing SMS to send.
<br /><br />
Attributes:
<dl>
<dt>"id" ::= &lt;text&gt; (optional)</dt>
<dd>
An ID for this outgoing message. (EnvayaSMS will send this
back to the server as the id field in a send_status request.)
</dd>
<dt>"to" ::= &lt;text&gt; (optional for incoming, required for outgoing)</dt>
<dd>
The phone number to send the SMS to. If omitted for
action=incoming, it will be sent as a reply to the original
sender.
</dd>
<dt>"priority" ::= &lt;integer&gt; (optional)</dt>
<dd>
The priority level of the outgoing message. If your server is sending outgoing messages
faster than the phone can send them out, the priority level allows you to specify
the order to send them (e.g. so that you can send transactional SMS replies
before asynchronous notifications).
<br />
<br />
Larger integers represent higher priorities.
If omitted, the default priority level is 0.
<br />
<br />
Within a priority level, SMS messages are processed and sent in the order
they were received from the server, and from top to bottom within the XML rsponse.
</dd>
</dl>
<br />
Content:
<dl>
<dt>CDATA</dt>
<dd>
The content of the SMS message to send. If the content is longer than the maximum size of a single SMS (typically 160 characters),
it will automatically be sent as a multipart SMS.
</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
<h4>HTTP Response for action=send_status</h4>
Example:
<pre>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 2
OK
</pre>
<p>
HTTP status code 200 signifies success, and anything else signifies failure.
The response content for successful <code>send_status</code> requests is currently ignored, except that
requests with HTTP code 400-499 may return an error message as text/xml.
</p>
