🚀 Installation

Install the package via pip:

pip install afromessage

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/yonas8989/afromessage-python.git
cd afromessage-python
pip install -e .

🔑 Quick Start

Create a .env file in your project root:

AFROMESSAGE_TOKEN=your_api_token_here

Then in Python:

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from afromessage import AfroMessage
from afromessage.models.sms_models import SendSMSRequest, BulkSMSRequest
from afromessage.models.otp_models import SendOTPRequest, VerifyOTPRequest

# Load environment variables
load_dotenv()
token = os.getenv("AFROMESSAGE_TOKEN")

if not token:
    raise ValueError("⚠️ Set AFROMESSAGE_TOKEN in your .env file!")

# Initialize the SDK
sdk = AfroMessage(token=token)

# --- Single SMS ---
sms_request = SendSMSRequest(
    to="+2519xxxxxxx",
    message="Hello from AfroMessage SDK!",
    from_="MySender",
    sender="MyBrand"
)
response = sdk.sms.send(sms_request)
print("✅ Single SMS:", response)

# --- Bulk SMS ---
bulk_request = BulkSMSRequest(
    to=["+2519xxxxxxx", "+2519yyyyyyy"],
    message="Hello, bulk users!",
    from_="MySender",
    sender="MyBrand",
    campaign="MyCampaign"
)
bulk_response = sdk.sms.bulk_send(bulk_request)
print("✅ Bulk SMS:", bulk_response)

#---  Personalized Bulk request ---

personalized_request = BulkSMSRequest(
    to=[
        BulkRecipient(to="+2519xxxxxxx", message="Hi Yonas!"),
        BulkRecipient(to="+2519yyyyyyy", message="Hi Eshetu!")
    ],
    from_="MySender",
    sender="MyBrand",
    campaign="PersonalizedCampaign"
)

response = sdk.sms.bulk_send(personalized_request)



# --- OTP Challenge ---
otp_request = SendOTPRequest(
    to="+2519xxxxxxx",
    pr="Your code",
    len_=6
)
otp_response = sdk.otp.send(otp_request)
print("✅ OTP Challenge:", otp_response)

# --- Verify OTP ---
verify_request = VerifyOTPRequest(
    to="+2519xxxxxxx",
    code="123456"
)
verify_response = sdk.otp.verify(verify_request)
print("✅ OTP Verify:", verify_response)

⚡ API Reference

Single SMS

from afromessage.models.sms_models import SendSMSRequest

sms_request = SendSMSRequest(
    to="+2519xxxxxxx",
    message="Hello from AfroMessage!",
    from_="MySender",
    sender="MyBrand",
    callback="https://myapp.com/callback"  # optional
)

response = sdk.sms.send(sms_request)

Single SMS (GET request)

response = sdk.sms.send_get(sms_request)

Bulk SMS

from afromessage.models.sms_models import BulkSMSRequest

bulk_request = BulkSMSRequest(
    to=["+2519xxxxxxx", "+2519yyyyyyy"],
    message="Hello, everyone!",
    from_="MySender",
    sender="MyBrand",
    campaign="MyCampaign"
)

response = sdk.sms.bulk_send(bulk_request)

Bulk SMS (Personalized messages)

from afromessage.models.sms_models import BulkRecipient, BulkSMSRequest

personalized_request = BulkSMSRequest(
    to=[
        BulkRecipient(to="+2519xxxxxxx", message="Hi Yonas!"),
        BulkRecipient(to="+2519yyyyyyy", message="Hi Eshetu!")
    ],
    from_="MySender",
    sender="MyBrand",
    campaign="PersonalizedCampaign"
)

response = sdk.sms.bulk_send(personalized_request)

OTP Challenge

from afromessage.models.otp_models import SendOTPRequest

otp_request = SendOTPRequest(
    to="+2519xxxxxxx",
    pr="Your code",
    len_=6,
    ttl=300  # time-to-live in seconds (optional)
)

response = sdk.otp.send(otp_request)

Verify OTP

from afromessage.models.otp_models import VerifyOTPRequest

verify_request = VerifyOTPRequest(
    to="+2519xxxxxxx",
    code="123456"
)

response = sdk.otp.verify(verify_request)

🛠 Error Handling

All errors are wrapped and logged automatically.

Example:

try:
    response = sdk.sms.send(sms_request)
    print("✅ Success:", response)
except Exception as e:
    print("❌ Error:", str(e))

Errors include:

API errors (invalid request, authentication failure, etc.)

Network errors (timeouts, connection issues)

📑 Logging

Requests and responses are logged automatically. Example:

📤 [POST] Request to: send
   Payload: {
     "to": "+2519xxxxxxx",
     "message": "Hello!"
   }

📥 Response from: send
   Data: {
     "acknowledge": "success",
     "response": { "code": "202", "to": "+2519xxxxxxx" }
   }

🧪 Advanced Example (Real Test)

We provide a full interactive test script in usag/test_real.py

.

It shows how to send SMS, bulk SMS, and run OTP challenge + verification with .env loading.

Run it with:

python usage/test_real.py

⚠️ Note: Running this will send real SMS/OTP messages and may incur costs.
