About

Basic usage

Get number and receive SMS

Get temporary mobile phone number by sending POST request to /activations while passing both service and country as request parameters. For example, in order to request activation code for Facebook using Germany phone number set:
```
{
    "serviceId": "facebook",
    "countryId": "us"
}
```
In response you will get:
- activation id
- phone number
```
{
    "id": 12312,
    "number": 18454123223
}
```
Use phone number to send SMS from service
Get SMS by sending GET request to /acivations/<activation_id>. Continue polling endpoint while status=smsRequested or retryRequested until you get sms. Please, note that rate limits applies (see below).
```
```json
{
    "id": 12312,
    "status": "smsReceived",
    "message": "Thanks for activation. Your activation code is: 5678",
    "code": 5678
}
```
```

Balance management

Top up your funds balance through UI:
Check balance by sending request to GET /user/balance

Pricing

Get price list by sending GET request to either:

/pricelistByService OR
/pricelistByCountry

In response you will get price for each service in each country.

Authentication

You must send your API key in x-api-key header for each request. To get your API key 1. Login into your account. 2. In side menu, click on API button. 3. Generate your API key.

Servers

All requests are relative to following base URLs:

Base URL	Environment name	Description
https://tn-api.com/api/v1	production
https://mock.temp-number.org/v1	mock	Free of charge. No funds required. Currently only GET requests supported.

Rate limits

We have two types of rate limits: 1. SMS delivery per service per country 2. API requests per endpoint

Delivery rate limit

We require at least 7% from all activations per service per country to receive sms. We start to calculate delivery rate limit after 5-th activation. This limit is required to guard against all numbers being "burned" without actually being used. Delivery Rate limit resets each 24 hours.

Example: 100 activations requested for Whatsapp in Germany but only 1 activation got sms. This is 1% delivery success rate. No more activations allowed in 24 hours to Whatsapp in Netherland.

API requests rate limit

In order to protect service from excessive use whether intended or unintended we are rate limiting request to API endpoints to maintain service availability. Rates apply to each endpoint separately.

endpoint	method	rate
/activations	GET	10 request per minute
/activations	POST	80 requests per 2 minutes
/activations/:activation_id	GET	80 requests per 2 minutes
/activations	PUT	10 requests per minute
/services/:serviceId/countries/:countryId	GET	80 requests per 2 minutes
/services/pricelistByService	GET	3 requests per minute
/services/pricelistByCountry	GET	3 requests per minute
/user/balance	GET	10 requests per minute

Installation

For Node.js

npm

To publish the library as a npm, please follow the procedure in "Publishing npm packages".

Then install it via:

npm install tempnumber --save

Finally, you need to build the module:

npm run build

Local development

To use the library locally without publishing to a remote npm registry, first install the dependencies by changing into the directory containing package.json (and this README). Let's call this JAVASCRIPT_CLIENT_DIR. Then run:

npm install

Next, link it globally in npm with the following, also from JAVASCRIPT_CLIENT_DIR:

npm link

To use the link you just defined in your project, switch to the directory you want to use your tempnumber from, and run:

npm link /path/to/<JAVASCRIPT_CLIENT_DIR>

Finally, you need to build the module:

npm run build

git

If the library is hosted at a git repository, e.g.https://github.com/GIT_USER_ID/GIT_REPO_ID then install it via:

    npm install GIT_USER_ID/GIT_REPO_ID --save

For browser

The library also works in the browser environment via npm and browserify. After following the above steps with Node.js and installing browserify with npm install -g browserify, perform the following (assuming main.js is your entry file):

browserify main.js > bundle.js

Then include bundle.js in the HTML pages.

Webpack Configuration

Using Webpack you may encounter the following error: "Module not found: Error: Cannot resolve module", most certainly you should disable AMD loader. Add/merge the following section to your webpack config:

module: {
  rules: [
    {
      parser: {
        amd: false
      }
    }
  ]
}

Getting Started

Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following JS code:

var Tempnumber = require('tempnumber');

var defaultClient = Tempnumber.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure API key authorization: apikey_auth
var apikey_auth = defaultClient.authentications['apikey_auth'];
apikey_auth.apiKey = "YOUR API KEY"
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//apikey_auth.apiKeyPrefix['x-api-key'] = "Token"

var api = new Tempnumber.ActivationApi()
var activationId = 25687; // {Number} ID of activation
api.getActivation(activationId).then(function(data) {
  console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
}, function(error) {
  console.error(error);
});
