# Other API endpoints

Here are some other potentially useful endpoints you can use.

## Checking SMS delivery status

If you are given a **textId** and want to check its delivery status, send an HTTP GET request to `https://textbelt.com/status/:textId`.

For example, if you textId is `12345`, go to <https://textbelt.com/status/12345> in your browser or load it programmatically:

```bash
curl https://textbelt.com/status/12345
```

The response is a JSON object that contains a single **status** field.  For example:

```bash
{"status": "DELIVERED"}
```

Possible return values include:

* `DELIVERED` - Carrier has confirmed sending
* `SENT` - Sent to carrier but confirmation receipt not available
* `SENDING` - Queued or dispatched to carrier
* `FAILED` - Not received
* `UNKNOWN` - Could not determine status

Delivery statuses can be retrieved up to 1 week after the message was sent.

**Delivery statuses are not standardized between mobile carriers.**  Some carriers will report SMS as "delivered" when they attempt transmission to the handset while other carriers actually report delivery receipts from the handsets.  Some carriers do not have a way of tracking delivery, so all their messages will be marked "SENT".

## Checking your credit balance

You may want to know how much quota or credit you have left on a key.  You check this by sending an HTTP GET request to `https://textbelt.com/quota/:key`.

For example, if you key is `abc123`, just load <https://textbelt.com/quota/abc123> in your browser or programmatically:

```bash
curl https://textbelt.com/quota/abc123
```

The response contains a JSON object with two attributes:

* **success:** Whether or not we were able to look up this key
* **quotaRemaining:** The amount of SMS credit remaining on this key

For example:

```bash
{"success": true, "quotaRemaining": 98}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.textbelt.com/other-api-endpoints.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
