PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS LIBRARY IS NOT ACTIVELY MAINTAINED BY TELAPI

telapi-python

This library interacts with the TelAPI service. It allows you to use the REST API in a pythonic way to initiate and manage outbound calls and SMS messages as well as generate InboundXML to handle incoming calls and SMS messages.

Installation

Download the latest source from https://github.com/telapi/telapi-python/zipball/master or checkout the code, then cd into the resulting directory and run python setup.py install.

Protip

Export the TELAPI_ACCOUNT_SID and TELAPI_AUTH_TOKEN variables in your environment, such as ~/.profile and you won't have to pass your credentials in when instantiating the client.

Account SID and auth token are both found in the Dashboard

export TELAPI_ACCOUNT_SID='ACxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
export TELAPI_AUTH_TOKEN='xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

Quick Start

Account SID and auth token are both found in the Dashboard

from telapi import rest

account_sid = 'ACxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
auth_token  = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
client      = rest.Client(account_sid, auth_token)
account     = client.accounts[client.account_sid]
voice_url   = 'http://db.tt/YtLJgpa8'

# Let's create a call that will dial someone and say "Hello"
account.calls.create(from_number="+15555555555", to_number="+15555555556", url=voice_url)
