Short Message Service:Java SDK

System requirements

• Java version: Java 8 or later. To set up a Java development environment, see Set up a Java development environment on Windows.

• Operating system: Windows, Linux, or macOS.

• Other dependencies: Maven 3.0 or later.

Install with Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.aliyun</groupId>
    <artifactId>dysmsapi20180501</artifactId>
    <!-- Replace 'the-latest-version' with the latest version number: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.aliyun/dysmsapi20180501 -->
  <version>the-latest-version</version>
</dependency>

Step 1: Create a RAM user and grant permissions

• Create a RAM user: Go to the Create User page. Specify the required information, select Permanent AccessKey for Access Configuration, then click OK. Save your AccessKey for later use.

• Grant permissions to the RAM User: Go to the Users page. Find the RAM user that you created and click Attach Policy in the Actions column. In the Policy search box, enter AliyunDysmsFullAccess, select the policy, and then click OK.

Step 2: Configure access credentials

Store your AccessKey pair in environment variables. Configure environment variables on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Security best practices

• Store credentials by using environment variables or a key management service.

• Rotate your AccessKey pair on a regular basis.

• Follow the principle of least privilege by granting the minimum required permissions to RAM Users.

• Do not print credential information in logs.

• Use a RAM Role instead of your root account credentials in production environments.

Sample code

This example calls the SMS API to send a message. Replace placeholder values as indicated in the comments.

package com.aliyun.sample;

import com.aliyun.teaopenapi.models.Config;
import com.aliyun.dysmsapi20180501.Client;
import com.aliyun.dysmsapi20180501.models.SendMessageToGlobeRequest;
import com.aliyun.dysmsapi20180501.models.SendMessageToGlobeResponse;
import static com.aliyun.teautil.Common.toJSONString;

public class Sample {
    public static Client createClient() throws Exception {
        Config config = new Config()
                // Configure your AccessKey ID. Make sure the ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID environment variable is configured.
                .setAccessKeyId(System.getenv("ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID"))
                // Configure your AccessKey secret. Make sure the ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variable is configured.
                .setAccessKeySecret(System.getenv("ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"));

        // Configure the endpoint.
        config.endpoint = "dysmsapi.ap-southeast-1.aliyuncs.com";

        return new Client(config);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // Initialize the request client.
        Client client = Sample.createClient();

        // Create a request object and specify the parameter values.
        SendMessageToGlobeRequest sendSmsRequest = new SendMessageToGlobeRequest()
                .setTo("<YOUR_VALUE>")
                .setMessage("<YOUR_VALUE>");

        // Obtain the response object.
        SendMessageToGlobeResponse sendSmsResponse = client.sendMessageToGlobe(sendSmsRequest);

        // The response includes the body and headers from the server.
        System.out.println(toJSONString(sendSmsResponse));
    }
}

Download the sample code

Performance optimization

• Reuse HTTP connections with a connection pool to reduce overhead.

• Use asynchronous calls for high-frequency scenarios.

• Set timeouts to avoid blocking your service.

• Use the built-in batch processing for bulk operations.

Security recommendations

• Always use HTTPS to communicate with the API.

• Do not log sensitive data such as mobile numbers or verification codes.

• Validate user-entered mobile numbers to prevent malicious input.

• Prefer temporary credentials from Alibaba Cloud Security Token Service (STS) over long-term credentials.

Resource management

• Close unused client connections.

• Size your thread pool to match expected concurrency.

• Monitor API call frequency to avoid exceeding QPS limits.
