Check Credit Balance via API

Check your SMS & MMS Credit Balance

Overview

http://www.txtlocal.com/getcredits.php

This interface allows you to remotely determine your Textlocal account balance. To connect to this interface, simply GET or POST your query to the URL below. For added security, connect to our API via SSL by replacing 'http' with 'https'.

Code Examples

We have a number of code examples available, however if you see a language that we don't have, please contact us, as it's more than likely we'll be able to create one for you.
