Free test credits & API Key

Sendchamp gives at least $250 test credits you can use to test Sendchamp APIs.

Accessing your API key

To access any Sendchamp API, you’ll need to provide an API access key. Sendchamp provides keys in live and test modes for different purposes: To send live messages, you’ll need to use a live API access key. To test the API, you can use a test API access key. You can preview the messages using our simulator.

To access your test API key, you’ll need to switch to test mode. Head over to account settings, click on API keys and Webhooks to access the keys.

To access your live API key, you’ll need to switch to live mode. Head over to account settings, click on API keys and Webhooks to access the keys.

If you’re having any issues accessing your API key, please reach out to [email protected] or join our developer community; we’ll make sure to help you out.

Upgrading your account

In order to start sending live messages, you’ll need to upgrade your account by topping up your balance.

Top-up via your Dashboard

Just hit the +Top-up button on your Dashboard.

Click on Top-up and input your desired top-up amount, proceed to checkout and select your payment method.
