Overview

There are no fixed per-account rate limits on the BroadNet API. Throughput is sized to each account's traffic profile in line with market-standard practice, and SMPP capacity per bind is agreed with your account team. Build clients the standard way: reuse connections, respect the SMPP window you agree, and retry with exponential backoff on 5xx errors and timeouts.

Example

Copy, paste, replace the placeholders — these examples call the production API as written.
