Welcome

LAfricaMobile’s SMS API, known as LAMPUSH, allows you to send SMS messages using a computer interface. LAMPUSH provides two primary methods of interaction:

  • Web Interface: Connect via a web browser.
  • API Interface: Communicate directly with the LAM’s platform through API calls.

This documentation focuses on the second method, detailing how to use the API to send SMS messages programmatically.
