Phone API Keys

Manage multiple Android phones under one httpSMS account by creating unique API keys per phone.

If you have multiple phones, you can create a unique phone API key for your Android phones. These API keys can only be used on the httpSMS app on your Android phone so it can send heartbeats, register received messages and register sent, failed and SMS delivered events.

These phone API keys should only be used on the httpSMS Android app. If you want to interact with the full httpSMS API use the API key under your account settings page instead https://httpsms.com/settings
