Step 2: The issue is likely with your application
If you are experiencing problems using the API and not receiving an error code in return the most likely cause is that we are not receiving anything from your application. Please check that you are using the correct api url:
- HTTP: https://goto.text-connect.co.uk/api
If this is correct, we suggest you check everything is as it should be by referring back to the HTTP documentation.
Step 3: Additional things to try
i. Can you traceroute (windows: tracert) to goto.text-connect.co.uk
ii. Can you telnet from that machine to goto.text-connect.co.uk (port 80)
iii. Does it work from another machine?
If you believe everything to be correct please contact us.
Please note that due to the technical nature of the API our operators may need to confer with a specialist.
