Net::SMS::ArxMobile - Send SMS messages via the ArXMobile HTTP API

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
# Create a testing sender
my $arx = Net::SMS::ArxMobile->new(
    _auth_code => '{ArXMobile auth code}',
);
# Send a message
my $sent = $arx->send_sms(
    text => "You're in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.",
    to   => '+1 888 555 1212',
);
if ($sent) {
    # Message sent
}
else {
    # Something failed
}
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Perl module to send SMS messages through the HTTP API provided by ArxMobile (www.arxmobile.com).

NOTE: Your ability to send messages outside of the United States could be limited.

Example of formats that work are:

+1 888 555 1234

18885551234

I have never tried this code with non-US numbers. Probably it works. Probably depends on your auth code?

Probably the Earth will be hit by a massive asteroid in 5 seconds.

METHODS

new( _auth_code = '{ArxMobile auth code}')>

Nothing fancy. You need to supply your Arxmobile auth code in the constructor, or it will complain loudly.

send_sms(to = $phone_number, text => $message)>

Uses the API to send a message given in $message to the phone number given in $phone_number.

NOTE: Your ability to send messages outside of the United States could be limited.

Phone number should be given in one of these formats:

+1 888 555 1234

18885551234

Returns a string that is the smsid.

The smsid can be used to query the status via the query_smsid() method.

This API is explicitly SMS::Send compatible.

query_smsid(smsid = $smsid)>

Queries the ArxMobile server to check the status of an SMS given its smsid. The smsid is obtained through a successful send_sms() call.

Example of HTTP response:

            

              
              
<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<results>
  <result>
    <phone>{11-digit phone number}</phone>
    <status>1</status>
    <error></error>
    <smsid>{smsid-string}</smsid> <!-- ex.: a552e6f04acd292df310c21b13ea63c8 -->
  </result>
</results>
            
          

The method will return a hashref with the correspondent data structure obtained by parsing back the XML file. Example:

            

              
              
{
    phone => '{11-digit phone number}',
    status => '1',
    error => '',
    smsid => '{smsid-string}',
}
            
          

This parsing does not account for multiple results.
