pysignalclirestapi for micropython?

[msauereisen]

I just came across the signal-cli-rest-api and tested it with sending messages with curl as documented - really easy!
Even better, there seems to be a python lib. i guess it's only for Cpython - would it be much trouble for you to provide also a micropython version? I'd like to run it on a ESP8266 microcontroller to send important sensor data.

For sending sensor readings, you can skip the wrapper and call the same /v2/send endpoint from MicroPython. Keep your working Signal API server running on the PC/Pi; the ESP only makes an HTTP request.

Once connected to Wi-Fi:

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "http://192.168.1.10:8080/v2/send",
    json={
        "message": "Temperature: 23.5 C",
        "number": "+YOUR_LINKED_NUMBER",
        "recipients": ["+RECIPIENT_NUMBER"],
    },
)
try:
    print(response.status_code)
finally:
    response.close()

Replace the server's LAN address and both numbers, including their country codes. localhost would refer to the ESP itself.

Use MicroPython's requests, rather than installing CPython's package. If missing, install it from your PC with mpremote mip install requests (installation docs). Older firmware may call it urequests.

Checked the send endpoint and client source with Codex; not tested on ESP8266 hardware.

thank you very much, quick and perfect answer. Should have come to this easy solution myself.

in fact, now I've successfully tested it on ESP8266
