46elks API

What authentication does the 46elks API use?

It uses HTTP Basic authentication with your 46elks API username and password as documented at 46elks.com/docs. Through Jentic, the credentials are stored encrypted in the vault and injected into the Authorization header at execution.

Can I send MMS picture messages with 46elks?

Yes. POST /mms accepts a recipient and an image URL plus optional caption, and returns a message ID. MMS delivery requires the recipient's carrier and device to support MMS; otherwise the message may be returned as a text fallback.

Can I provision virtual phone numbers through the API?

Yes. The Numbers endpoints (GET /numbers and GET /numbers/{numberId}) let you list available and currently allocated numbers. Provisioning and termination are also handled via the same Numbers resource.

How do I send an SMS with 46elks through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search 'send an sms', load the 46elks POST /sms operation, supply the from, to, and message fields, and execute. Run it through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer to receive an agent API key for execution.

How do I check my 46elks account balance?

Call GET /me. The response includes the account balance and currency along with account metadata, which is useful before launching a high-volume campaign.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the 46elks API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which 46elks operations your agent can call, so you can allow only what it needs, such as sending an SMS with POST /sms or reading a single message with GET /sms/{smsId}, while leaving out placing voice calls with POST /calls or sending MMS with POST /mms. Since 46elks carries the recipient in the request body rather than a path id, scoping is done at the operation level, and only the operations you enable can run. Your Basic credentials stay under your control and are injected at execution rather than exposed to the agent.
