Prerequisites

PHP ^8.0 and later

Installation

Via Composer

$ composer require swiftsmsgh/swiftsmsgh-api-sdk

Via Git Bash

git clone git@github.com:supreme-majesty/swiftsmsgh-api-sdk.git

Documentation

Please see https://swiftsmsgh.com/developer for up-to-date documentation

Usage

Step 1:

If you install the Swiftsms-GH PHP SDK via Git Clone then load the Swiftsms-GH PHP API class file and use namespace.

require_once '/path/to/src/Swiftsmsgh.php';
use Swiftsms\Swiftsmsgh;

If you install Swiftsms-GH PHP SDK via Composer require the autoload.php file in the index.php of your project or whatever file you need to use Swiftsms-GH PHP API classes.

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use Swiftsms\Swiftsmsgh;

The Swiftsms-GH PHP SDK endpoints are RESTful, and consume and return JSON. All Http endpoints requires an API Key in the request header.

For more information on how to get an API Key visit here to copy or generate new key for authorization.

Exception Handling

The SDK throws Swiftsms\SwiftsmsException when an API or network error occurs.

try {
    $response = $client->send_sms($recipients, $message);
} catch (Swiftsms\SwiftsmsException $e) {
    echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

HTTP Endpoints

Step 2:

Instantiate the SwiftsmsghSMSSDKAPI

$api_token = "Enter Your API Token here";

$sender_id = "Enter your approved Sender ID here";

$client = new Swiftsms\Swiftsmsgh($api_token, $sender_id);

Send Messages

1. Send SMS

$recipients = "233538000000,233540000000";
$message = "This is a test message";

$response = $client->send_sms($recipients, $message);

2. Schedule Message & Custom Sender ID

You can pass an optional $options array to any sending method.

$options = [
    'schedule_time' => '2025-12-25 08:00', // Format: Y-m-d H:i
    'sender_id'     => 'MyAlert'           // Override default Sender ID
];

$client->send_sms($recipients, $message, $options);

3. Send Voice Call

// gender: 'male' or 'female'
// language: 'en-gb', 'en-us', etc.
$client->send_voice($recipients, "Wake up!", "female", "en-gb");

4. Send MMS

$mediaUrl = "https://example.com/image.jpg";
$client->send_mms($recipients, "Here is the photo", $mediaUrl);

5. Send OTP

$client->send_otp($recipients, "Your verification code is 1234");

6. Send WhatsApp

$client->send_whatsapp($recipients, "Hello from WhatsApp API");

7. Send Viber

$client->send_viber($recipients, "Hello from Viber API");

Contacts Management

Contact Groups

// Get all contact groups
$groups = $client->all_contact_groups();

// View a specific contact group
$group = $client->view_contact_group($group_id);

// Create a new contact group
$client->create_contact_group($phones, $groupName);

// Update a contact group
$client->update_contact_group($phones, $groupName);

// Delete a contact group
$client->delete_contact_group($group_id);

Individual Contacts

// Get all contacts in a group
$contacts = $client->all_contacts_in_group($group_id);

// View a specific contact
$contact = $client->view_contact($group_id, $uid);

// Create a new contact
$client->create_contact($phones, $message);

// Update a contact
$client->update_contact($phones, $message);

// Delete a contact
$client->delete_contact($group_id, $uid);
