The MessageMedia Lookups API provides a number of endpoints for validating the phone numbers you’re sending to by checking their validity, type and carrier records.
Authentication is done via API keys. Sign up at https://developers.messagemedia.com/register/ to get your API keys.
Requests are authenticated using HTTP Basic Auth or HMAC. Provide your API key as the auth_user_name and API secret as the auth_password.
Our API returns standard HTTP success or error status codes. For errors, we will also include extra information about what went wrong encoded in the response as JSON. The most common status codes are listed below.
| Code | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid Request | The request was invalid |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Your API credentials are invalid |
| 403 | Disabled feature | Feature not enabled |
| 404 | Not Found | The resource does not exist |
| 50X | Internal Server Error | An error occurred with our API |

Alternatively you can email us at: developers@messagemedia.com
If you discover a problem with the SDK, we would like to know about it. You can raise an issue or send an email to: developers@messagemedia.com
We welcome your thoughts on how we could best provide you with SDKs that would simplify how you consume our services in your application. You can fork and create pull requests for any features you would like to see or raise an issue
At present the jars are available from a public maven repository.
Use the following dependency in your project to grab via Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.messagemedia.sdk</groupId>
<artifactId>lookups</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
It's easy to get started. Simply enter the API Key and secret you obtained from the MessageMedia Developers Portal into the code snippet below and a mobile number you wish to send to.
