chromastone 0.1.8

A Python application for powering other python applications to send SMS messages globally with number validation and restrictions by Tarmica Chiwara

Chromastone SMS App

Chromastone is a Python application designed to simplify the process of sending SMS messages. Utilizing a straightforward API, Chromastone ensures that destination numbers are validated and messages are efficiently delivered while adhering to specified constraints.

Features

• Validation of destination numbers to ensure they are in international format without the '+' prefix.
• Enforcement of message length to not exceed 100 characters.
• Easy integration with existing Python applications.

Installation

To use Chromastone, you need to install the required dependencies first. It is recommended to use a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

After activating the virtual environment, install the dependencies:

pip install requests pydantic

Configuration

Before you can start sending SMS messages, ensure you have an API key from the SMS service provider. You will need to replace 'your_api_key_here' in the code with your actual API key.

Usage

To send an SMS using Chromastone, instantiate the Chromastone class with your API key and call the send_sms method with the source number, destination number, and message:

from chromastone import Chromastone

chromastone = Chromastone(api_key='your_api_key_here')
chromastone.send_sms(source_number='1234567890', destination_number='263771123456', message='Hello, world!')

Ensure the destination number is in the correct format and the message does not exceed 100 characters.
