sms_local_bulk

A Rust crate to simulate sending bulk SMS messages using the SMSLocal API.
This project is built as a demo crate using a dummy API key and does not send real messages.

It safely simulates API behavior by using httpbin.org and opens the response in your default web browser for visual preview.

✨ Features

• Bulk SMS sending simulation
• Uses httpbin.org for safe mock requests
• Dummy API key (dummy_api_key_123456) — no real SMS charges
• Automatically opens server response in your browser
• Great for learning, testing, documentation, or backlinks

📦 Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

sms_local_bulk = "0.1.0"

    let sender = "SMSLocal";

    let message = "Hello from Rust demo crate!";



    if let Err(e) = send_bulk_sms(sender, &recipients, message).await {

        eprintln!("❌ Error occurred (mock): {:?}", e);

    }

}
