SMSTRADE_SEND(1)

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so bestie, say hi to smstrade_send — which, fun fact, the page literally lists as smstrade_balance in the NAME line (we don't question the ancients 💀). it's the lil command that yeets SMS messages out into the world via the smstrade.eu API.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, exactly how you'd call it:

usage: smstrade_send [-h] [-c CONFIG] [-s SECTION] [-k KEY] [-f SENDER]

       [-r {basic,gold,direct}] [-d] [--cost] [-m] [--count] [--dlr]

       [--response] [--ref REFERENCE] [-l] [--charset
       {UTF-8,ISO-8859-1,ISO-8859-15}] [--senddate SENDDATE]

       [--messagetype {flash,unicode,binary,voice}] [--udh UDH]

       [--version] to [to ...] smstext

Send one or more SMS via the smstrade.eu API. yes plural, you can ping multiple people in one go, we love an efficient queen 👑

🎀 positional arguments 🎀

• to — who's getting the SMS. the receiver. your target. the recipient of the message. (and yeah, to [to ...] means you can stack more than one 🫶)
• smstext — the actual words you're sending. the text content of the SMS message. make it cute, make it count 💌

💅 optional arguments 💅

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. classic.
• -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG — point at a different config instead of the default config files, which are: /etc/xdg/smstrade/smstrade.ini, ~/.config/smstrade/smstrade.ini, smstrade.ini
• -s SECTION, --section SECTION — use the specific section you named inside the config file. very picky, very demure.
• -k KEY, --key KEY — your personal identification code. it's giving ✨credentials✨, guard it with your life.
• -f SENDER, --from SENDER — the source identifier. heads up: it gets ignored if you're on route basic 🙈
• -r {basic,gold,direct}, --route {basic,gold,direct} — pick your SMS route, babe. three flavors, you choose.
• -d, --debug — activates debug mode. turn it on when things are acting sus 🔍
• --cost — turns on output of sending costs. know what you're spending, bestie 💸
• -m, --message-id — turns on output of message ids. receipts, basically 🧾
• --count — turns on output of message count. numbers girlies rise 🔢
• --dlr — enables delivery reports. so you know it actually landed 📬
• --response — enables receiving of reply SMS. (only for route basic) so if you're not on basic, don't @ me 😭
• --ref REFERENCE — add your own reference for this message. tag it, track it, own it 🏷️
• -l, --concat — sends it as a linked (longer) SMS. for when your paragraph cannot be contained 💬
• --charset {UTF-8,ISO-8859-1,ISO-8859-15} — the character set of the message. it defaults to your current locale's charset, and it gets converted to UTF-8 if necessary 🌈
• --senddate SENDDATE — send a time-delayed SMS at the given time, and that time is a UNIX timestamp ⏰
• --messagetype {flash,unicode,binary,voice} — enables sending of flash, unicode, binary or voice messages. pick your fighter 🎭
• --udh UDH — the hexadecimal representation of bytes, for a binary message. hex girlies, this one's for you 🔥
• --version — shows the program's version number and exits. bye 👋

ngl if something here is deprecated, undefined, or just plain sketchy, treat it with the respect it deserves — this is a live API and your messages are out here in the real world 🫣
