Calling all startups, partners and employees of Australian corporates with a global presence; Registrations are now open for Telstra's Innovation Hackathon 2020!

It's not a traditional weekend hack, with the competition spread over 4 weeks to suit the busy schedule of industry professionals. We'll be bringing together our international ecosystem, leveraging epic partners (Microsoft, AWS and TelstraDev) and our ICC in India. To be eligible to participate, participants must be:

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects which collects data from the environment and connects via the internet. With a myriad of sensors that digitise the physical environment, we can pretty much connect any 'thing' at any time where there is internet access.

Have you ever wondered what an API is and why you should care?

Have you ever had a mid-career crisis and considered going back to uni for a computer science degree because coding is the future?

Have you heard me talk about the Messaging API and want to try it yourself?

Then you've come to the right place!

You asked, we listened.

Our developer community had told us that they would like greater transparency and simple indicators to determine if TelstraDev services are functioning as expected. We are excited to announce just that, with the launch of TelstraDev’s status page: https://status.dev.telstra.com/

Announcement Community

Hello World!

Here at TelstraDev, we hope you are continuing to thrive and innovate out there, staying safe and healthy inside your homes, amidst the #COVIDcrisis raging across the globe. If you’ve been working on an innovative API or IoT project, let us know!

Last year we were proud to announce our partnership with Arduino to help create an (read more about it here https://exchange.telstra.com.au/our-exclusive-partnership-with-arduino-set-to-fuel-the-growth-of-iot-in-australia/), IoT network ready, device for developers. For us this partnership is really important to help create an IoT network specific device that is quick and easy to use, while being versatile to prototype with and has a wealth of library support.

Conversation via Telstra Messaging API

Creating a message thread can be done via Telstra Messaging API, whereby you can continue sending and receiving messages to and from the same party as if it were a conversation. You can link the message you send with the replies that have come back for that message from a specific party.

Fine-tuning MMS performance on Telstra's Messaging API

One area that we have recently tuned is our Messaging API, more specifically MMS performance. The goal was to measure the throughputs we could support through the API and to iteratively re-engineer our server-side functions to increase our capacity to meet our customer's needs.

Welcome to the second in a two part series on understanding the messaging API callbacks. In our first post we covered using postman and setting up to handle the message callback. If you haven’t yet read the first post you can check that out at Understanding Messaging API Callbacks - Part 1.

The callback functionality of the messaging API is a great utility allowing you to track the delivery status of sent messages, and receive replies to your dedicated phone number without the need of making additional API calls.

In this first of 2-post series, I will walk through how to set up callbacks for your app and how to develop and test callback features without having a hosted endpoint.

Happy New year, I hope you had an awesome break and was able to recharge, reset and prepare for the year ahead. One thing I always love doing is looking back at the tech in the year that was and how that will map out for the year that will be.

Hello, my name is Steven Cooper, also known as DeveloperSteve, and I am the new API and Platform Evangelist at Telstra. After recently coming from being a CTO at a start-up and running developer relations at PayPal and Xero, I know the importance of having the right tools and resources in place for developers. This is why it’s so exciting to be building a developer community at an iconic company, Telstra, which touches on so many people throughout Australia and also the world.

Welcome to the new TelstraDev!

At Telstra we're embarking on a new journey to connect you, the developer, to our services. We realise the importance developers have in coming up with new innovations, in growing new businesses and by shaping the world as we all move "up the stack"
