The API-First Messaging Platform for Saudi SaaS and Technology Companies
Production-ready APIs, webhooks, and SDKs for Saudi tech teams building at scale.
Industry Challenges We Solve
Saudi Arabia's tech ecosystem is booming — from Riyadh's growing startup scene to large-scale SaaS platforms serving the GCC. Qalaama provides developer-first messaging APIs with Saudi-specific capabilities: +966 number validation, Arabic SMS encoding, carrier-aware routing, and PDPL-compliant consent management — all accessible via REST API, Node.js, Python, and PHP SDKs.
Saudi-Specific API Requirements
+966 number validation, Arabic UCS-2 SMS encoding, carrier-specific routing, and PDPL consent parameters require Saudi-aware API design — not generic global APIs.
PDPL Developer Compliance
Saudi SaaS products must comply with PDPL — requiring built-in consent management endpoints, data deletion APIs, and purpose-limitation enforcement.
Arabic Unicode Handling
Arabic SMS requires UCS-2 encoding, 70-character message limits (not 160), and proper character counting — without automatic framework support.
Carrier-Aware Routing
STC, Mobily, and Zain have different delivery characteristics — optimal routing requires carrier detection and dynamic path selection.
Webhook Reliability
Delivery status webhooks must be reliable, ordered, and idempotent — with retry logic and dead-letter queues for Saudi tech teams building critical flows.
Sandbox Testing with Saudi Numbers
Testing OTP and transactional flows requires realistic Saudi +966 sandbox numbers — with carrier simulation and Arabic content validation.
