Legacy API Overview - Vodafone Bulk Text Developer Portal

These APIs are maintained for long-term support only. New integrations should use the Vodafone Bulk Text API v2, which offers OAuth 2.0 authentication, campaign naming, scheduling, and improved error handling.

The v1 URL-encoded API is available at http://bulktext.vodafone.ie/HTTP_API/V1 and uses basic credential authentication. You pass your username, password, and API ID directly in the form body.

Available legacy APIs

URL-Encoded API (v1)

Send SMS via application/x-www-form-urlencoded. This is the legacy API covered by the current Vodafone OpenAPI spec.
