[ Out of Office API ]

I’m out of office right now but will get back to you as soon as possible. For any urgent matters, you can send me a quick text using this API.

Send Text Message

Call this operation to send me a text message (max 200 characters). You can send max 1 message per minute for a total of 3 messages per day.
Fair enough? ... it's holiday time!
With the button below you can try this API and send me a message. Please notice that the rate limit is evaluated by IP Address and this is a shared web console. If you get a 429 try to use any other tool like cURL, Fiddler or Postman.
