Disclaimer
Azure SDK Python packages support for Python 2.7 has ended 01 January 2022. For more information and questions, please refer to https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues/20691
Getting started
Prerequisites
- Python 3.7 or later is required to use this package.
- You must have an Azure subscription
- A deployed Communication Services resource. You can use the Azure Portal or the Azure PowerShell to set it up.
Install the package
Install the Azure Communication Phone Numbers client library for Python with pip:
pip install azure-communication-phonenumbers
Key concepts
This SDK provides functionality to easily manage direct offer
and direct routing
numbers.
The direct offer
numbers come in two types: Geographic and Toll-Free. Geographic phone plans are phone plans associated with a location, whose phone numbers' area codes are associated with the area code of a geographic location. Toll-Free phone plans are phone plans not associated location. For example, in the US, toll-free numbers can come with area codes such as 800 or 888.
They are managed using the PhoneNumbersClient
The direct routing
feature enables connecting your existing telephony infrastructure to ACS.
The configuration is managed using the SipRoutingClient
, which provides methods for setting up SIP trunks and voice routing rules, in order to properly handle calls for your telephony subnet.
Initializing Client
Client can be initialized using the AAD authentication.
import os
from azure.communication.phonenumbers import PhoneNumbersClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
endpoint = "https://<RESOURCE_NAME>.communication.azure.com"
# To use Azure Active Directory Authentication (DefaultAzureCredential) make sure to have your
# AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID and AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET as env variables.
phone_numbers_client = PhoneNumbersClient(endpoint, DefaultAzureCredential())
import os
from azure.communication.phonenumbers.siprouting import SipRoutingClient
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
endpoint = "https://<RESOURCE_NAME>.communication.azure.com"
# To use Azure Active Directory Authentication (DefaultAzureCredential) make sure to have your
# AZURE_TENANT_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID and AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET as env variables.
sip_routing_client = SipRoutingClient(endpoint, DefaultAzureCredential())
Another option is to initialize the client using connection string of the resource.
# You can find your connection string from your resource in the Azure Portal
import os
from azure.communication.phonenumbers import PhoneNumbersClient
connection_str = "endpoint=ENDPOINT;accessKey=KEY"
phone_numbers_client = PhoneNumbersClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
# You can find your connection string from your resource in the Azure Portal
import os
from azure.communication.phonenumbers.siprouting import SipRoutingClient
connection_str = "endpoint=ENDPOINT;accessKey=KEY"
sip_routing_client = SipRoutingClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
Phone numbers client
Phone number types overview
Phone numbers come in two types; Geographic and Toll-Free. Geographic phone numbers are phone numbers associated with a location, whose area codes are associated with the area code of a geographic location. Toll-Free phone numbers are phone numbers with no associated location. For example, in the US, toll-free numbers can come with area codes such as 800 or 888.
Searching and Purchasing and Releasing numbers
Phone numbers can be searched through the search creation API by providing an area code, quantity of phone numbers, application type, phone number type, and capabilities. The provided quantity of phone numbers will be reserved for ten minutes and can be purchased within this time. If the search is not purchased, the phone numbers will become available to others after ten minutes. If the search is purchased, then the phone numbers are acquired for the Azure resources.
Phone numbers can also be released using the release API.
SIP routing client
Direct routing feature allows connecting customer-provided telephony infrastructure to Azure Communication Resources. In order to setup routing configuration properly, customer needs to supply the SIP trunk configuration and SIP routing rules for calls. SIP routing client provides the necessary interface for setting this configuration.
When the call arrives, system tries to match the destination number with regex number patterns of defined routes. The first route to match the number will be selected. The order of regex matching is the same as the order of routes in configuration, therefore the order of routes matters. Once a route is matched, the call is routed to the first trunk in the route's trunks list. If the trunk is not available, next trunk in the list is selected.
Examples
PhoneNumbersClient
Get All Purchased Phone Numbers
Lists all of your purchased phone numbers
purchased_phone_numbers = phone_numbers_client.list_purchased_phone_numbers()
for acquired_phone_number in purchased_phone_numbers:
print(acquired_phone_number.phone_number)
Get Purchased Phone Number
Gets the information from the specified phone number
result = phone_numbers_client.get_purchased_phone_number("<phone number>")
print(result.country_code)
print(result.phone_number)
Long Running Operations
The Phone Number Client supports a variety of long running operations that allow indefinite polling time to the functions listed down below.
Search for Available Phone Number
You can search for available phone numbers by providing the capabilities of the phone you want to acquire, the phone number type, the assignment type, and the country code. It's worth mentioning that for the toll-free phone number type, proving the area code is optional. The result of the search can then be used to purchase the number in the corresponding API.
capabilities = PhoneNumberCapabilities(
calling = PhoneNumberCapabilityType.INBOUND,
sms = PhoneNumberCapabilityType.INBOUND_OUTBOUND
)
poller = phone_numbers_client.begin_search_available_phone_numbers(
"US",
PhoneNumberType.TOLL_FREE,
PhoneNumberAssignmentType.APPLICATION,
capabilities,
area_code ="833", # Area code is optional for toll-free numbers
quantity = 2, # Quantity is optional. If not set, default is 1
polling = True
)
search_result = poller.result()
Purchase Phone Numbers
The result of your search can be used to purchase the specified phone numbers. This can be done by passing the search_id
from the search response to the purchase phone number API.
purchase_poller = phone_numbers_client.begin_purchase_phone_numbers(
search_result.search_id,
polling=True
)
Release Phone Number
Releases an acquired phone number.
poller = self.phone_number_client.begin_release_phone_number(
"<phone number>",
polling = True
)
Updating Phone Number Capabilities
Updates the specified phone number capabilities for Calling and SMS to one of:
PhoneNumberCapabilityType.NONE
PhoneNumberCapabilityType.INBOUND
PhoneNumberCapabilityType.OUTBOUND
PhoneNumberCapabilityType.INBOUND_OUTBOUND
poller = self.phone_number_client.begin_update_phone_number_capabilities(
"<phone number>",
PhoneNumberCapabilityType.OUTBOUND,
PhoneNumberCapabilityType.INBOUND_OUTBOUND,
polling = True
)
SipRoutingClient
Retrieve SIP trunks and routes
Get the list of currently configured trunks or routes.
trunks = sip_routing_client.list_trunks()
for trunk in trunks:
print(trunk.fqdn)
print(trunk.sip_signaling_port)
routes = sip_routing_client.list_routes()
for route in routes:
print(route.name)
print(route.description)
print(route.number_pattern)
for trunk_fqdn in route.trunks:
print(trunk_fqdn)
Replace SIP trunks and routes
Replace the list of currently configured trunks or routes with new values.
new_trunks = [SipTrunk(fqdn="sbs1.contoso.com", sip_signaling_port=1122), SipTrunk(fqdn="sbs2.contoso.com", sip_signaling_port=1123)]
new_routes = [SipTrunkRoute(name="First rule", description="Handle numbers starting with '+123'", number_pattern="\+123[0-9]+", trunks=["sbs1.sipconfigtest.com"])]
sip_routing_client.set_trunks(new_trunks)
sip_routing_client.set_routes(new_routes)
Retrieve single trunk
trunk = sip_routing_client.get_trunk("sbs1.contoso.com")
Set single trunk
# Set function will either modify existing item or add new item to the collection.
# The trunk is matched based on it's FQDN.
new_trunk = SipTrunk(fqdn="sbs3.contoso.com", sip_signaling_port=5555)
sip_routing_client.set_trunk(new_trunk)
Delete single trunk
sip_routing_client.delete_trunk("sbs1.contoso.com")
Troubleshooting
The Phone Numbers Administration client will raise exceptions defined in Azure Core.
