Configuration

You can configure the SMS client in two ways:

1. Using Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables:

export SMS_API_KEY='your_api_key'
export SMS_PARTNER_ID='your_partner_id'
export SMS_SHORTCODE='your_shortcode'

2. Using Direct Configuration

from sms import SMSConfig

config = SMSConfig(
    api_key='your_api_key',
    partner_id='your_partner_id',
    shortcode='your_shortcode'
)

Usage

Basic Usage

from sms import SMSClient

# Using environment variables
client = SMSClient()

# Send a single SMS
success = client.send_sms(
    to_number='+254713164545',
    message='Hello from TextTalk!'
)

# Send bulk SMS
success = client.send_bulk_sms(
    message='Hello from TextTalk!',
    to_numbers=['+254713164545', '+254713164546']
)

With Custom Configuration

from sms import SMSClient, SMSConfig

config = SMSConfig(
    api_key='your_api_key',
    partner_id='your_partner_id',
    shortcode='your_shortcode'
)

client = SMSClient(config)

Error Handling

The library provides custom exceptions for better error handling:

from sms import SMSClient, SMSException, ConfigurationError, MessageError

try:
    client = SMSClient()
    client.send_sms(to_number='+254713164545', message='Hello!')
except ConfigurationError as e:
    print(f"Configuration error: {e}")
except MessageError as e:
    print(f"Message error: {e}")
except SMSException as e:
    print(f"General SMS error: {e}")
