How to Send SMS from Node.js (with Code)

You can send an SMS from Node.js with a single HTTPS request - no SDK required. Here is the shortest path to your first message.

Get an API key

Create an account and copy your API key. Keep it server-side - never ship it in front-end code.

Send the message

POST to the /v1/sms/send endpoint with the recipient in international format (for example +254712345678 for Kenya), a registered sender ID and your message body. Node 18+ has fetch built in.

Confirm delivery

Store the returned message id and set a webhook to receive the delivery status in real time, so your app knows whether each SMS was delivered or failed.
