Starting from 0.6b37, user will be able to:

Check his current balance status

As documented here, user can query his balance status, we’ve set up a demo account on our SMS Hub so you can check what’s a balance checking look like:

http://api.jookies.net/balance?username=demo&password=demo

And here’s the response you’ll get:

{"balance": 5.6, "sms_count": "ND"}

It’s a json message saying user has 5.6 in his balance and an undefined sms quota, more on user credentials to understand balance and quota.

Check the rate price before sending a SMS

As documented here, user can check the rate price before sending a sms, the check will return the price if a route matches the destination number, otherwise a “No route found” error will be returned, here’s an example you can test:

http://api.jookies.net/rate?username=demo&password=demo&to=14533233333

Response:

{"submit_sm_count": 1, "unit_rate": 0.0067}

It’s a json message saying the rate price is 0.0067, the submit_sm_count key is useful if the user indicated the message content when checking the rate price, here’s an example of checking the rate price of a long message:

http://api.jookies.net/rate?username=demo&password=demo&to=14533233333&content=Loo … oonG

Response:

{"submit_sm_count": 2, "unit_rate": 0.0067}

This means the message will be sent as two parts, the final price will be 0.0134.

Note:

If the user has unlimited balance, the rate price will always be 0.
