semaphore-sms

API wrapper for Semaphore SMS Gateway. The documentation for their API can be found here.

Installation

This library should be able to support Python versions >= 3.7.

Install from PyPi using pip via

pip install semaphore-sms

Don't have pip installed? Refer to this documentation

Usage

‼️ For all these calls, you can see sample responses in tests/test_semaphore_client.py ‼️

Initializing the client

from semaphore_sms import SemaphoreClient

client = SemaphoreClient(
    api_key='your_api_key',
    sender_name'sender_name',
)

Note: SemaphoreClient will try to pull api_key from os.environ if not supplied. If it still can't a value then, a SemaphoreException will be raised

Sending SMS

For sending a basic single message,

client.send(
    message='Your text here',
    recipients=['09980101010', ]
)

To send one message to several numbers in bulk, simply provide multiple numbers under recipients

client.send(
    message='Your text here',
    recipients=['09980101010', '09980202020', ]
)

Sending out priority messages and OTP messages will look very similar

client.priority(
    message='Your text here',
    recipients=['09980101010', '09980202020', ]
)

client.otp(
    message='Your OTP is: {otp}',  # refer to Semaphore's docs for details
    recipients=['09980101010', ],
    code=123456,  # refer to Semaphore's docs for details
)

Fetching messages

https://semaphore.co/docs#retrieving_messages

client.messages(
    limit=100,  # optional
    page=1,  # optional
    start_date='2023-11-06',  # optional
    end_date='2023-12-25',  # optional
    network='smart',  # optional
    status='succcess'  # optional
)

Retrieving account information

https://semaphore.co/docs#retrieving_account

account_information = client.account
transactions = client.transactions(
    limit=100,  # optional
    page=1  # optional
)
sender_names = client.sender_names(
    limit=100,  # optional
    page=1  # optional
)
users = client.users(
    limit=100,  # optional
    page=1  # optional
)

Again, you can see sample responses in tests/test_semaphore_client.py
