Migrate to the OtpGet API in Minutes: Same Protocol, Two Changes

Switching suppliers sounds risky: new docs, new parameters, new bugs. The OtpGet SMS API was designed to avoid that. It uses the familiar action-based protocol, with the same style of parameters and the same style of plain-text replies, so most existing integrations only need two edits.

The two changes

1. Base URL - point your requests to https://otpget.com/stubs/handler_api.php.
2. API key - use your OtpGet key from the dashboard.

Actions such as getBalance, getNumber, getStatus and setStatus keep their usual names and reply formats.

A safe migration plan

1. Test with the sandbox key. Same URL, fake numbers, a virtual balance. Run your whole flow.
2. Compare lists. Call getServers, getCountries and getServices and map our ids to yours once.
3. Move a small share of traffic. Send 10 percent of orders to OtpGet and compare success rate and speed.
4. Raise the share as results look good, keeping the old supplier as a fallback for a while.
5. Lock the key to your server IP and set a daily buy limit.

What you gain

• Several servers behind one key, so you can fall back inside the same account.
• An optional currency parameter, so you can drop your own exchange-rate code.
• Webhooks, so you can stop polling.
• Rentals, email OTP, cheap and premium numbers under the same wallet.

Things to check before the switch

• Service and country ids may differ; always map by the list calls.
• Your timeouts and polling interval.
• Your error handling for the codes listed in our error guide.
