Base URL

View as Markdown

Your Infobip account ↗ comes with a unique Base URL that should be included in every API request. This URL ensures that your requests are routed correctly. It also helps Infobip support troubleshoot issues more efficiently.

To see your base URL, log in to your Infobip account ↗. Once logged in, the API docs will include your base URL as part of the API endpoint.

The following example shows the Base URL format. Do not use it in your code.

json

1Base URL: https://example.api.infobip.com

2Base URL used in the Send SMS message endpoint: https://example.api.infobip.com/sms/3/messages

NOTE: The Base URL is not a secret. While someone else using your base URL won't harm your account, using an incorrect base URL can result in service degradation or failure.

Why personalized Base URL?

Infobip operates multiple data centers worldwide to maximize uptime and minimize latency. Your personal base URL allows Infobip systems to identify your requests at the DNS level and route them optimally. It also helps the support team troubleshoot issues more efficiently.

Is personal Base URL a secret?

No. Personal base URL is not an authorization method and it cannot be misused for anyone's benefit. It is merely a level of the API request optimization, and if someone steals another client's base URL, it might do more damage to them than to the original owner of the URL.
