# 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}
```

```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
