:closed_lock_with_key: Authentication

Authentication is done via API keys. Sign up at https://developers.messagemedia.com/register/ to get your API keys.

Requests are authenticated using HTTP Basic Auth or HMAC. For Basic Auth, your API key will be basicAuthUserName and API secret will be basicAuthPassword. For HMAC, your API key will be hmacAuthUserName and API secret will be hmacAuthPassword. This is demonstrated in the Send an SMS example below.

:interrobang: Errors

Our API returns standard HTTP success or error status codes. For errors, we will also include extra information about what went wrong encoded in the response as JSON. The most common status codes are listed below.

HTTP Status Codes

Code	Title	Description
400	Invalid Request	The request was invalid
401	Unauthorized	Your API credentials are invalid
403	Disabled feature	Feature not enabled
404	Not Found	The resource does not exist
50X	Internal Server Error	An error occurred with our API

:star: Installation

Run the following command to install the SDK via pip:

pip install messagemedia-messages-sdk

:clapper: Get Started

It's easy to get started. Simply enter the API Key and secret you obtained from the MessageMedia Developers Portal into the code snippet below and a mobile number you wish to send to.

Send an SMS

Destination (destinationNumber) and source number (sourceNumber) should be in the E.164 format. For example, +61491570156 NOT 0491570156. The code snippet below comprises of only the bare minimum parameters required to send a message. You can view the full list of parameters over here. Alternatively, you can refer this code snippet with all the parameters in use.

from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.models.send_messages_request import SendMessagesRequest
from message_media_messages.models.message import Message
from message_media_messages.models.format_enum import FormatEnum

from message_media_messages.models.status_enum import StatusEnum
from message_media_messages.exceptions.send_messages_400_response_exception import SendMessages400ResponseException
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException
import dateutil.parser
import jsonpickle

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

messages_controller = client.messages
body = SendMessagesRequest()
body.messages = []

body.messages.append(Message())
body.messages[0].content = 'My first message'
body.messages[0].destination_number = '+61491570156'

try:
    result = messages_controller.send_messages(body)
    print(result)
except SendMessages400ResponseException as e:
    print(e)
except APIException as e:
    print(e)

Send an MMS

Destination (destinationNumber) and source number (sourceNumber) should be in the E.164 format. For example, +61491570156 NOT 0491570156. The code snippet below comprises of only the bare minimum parameters required to send a message. You can view the full list of parameters over here. Alternatively, you can refer this code snippet with all the parameters in use.

from message_media_messages.models.format_enum import FormatEnum

    result = messages_controller.send_messages(body)
    print(result)
except SendMessages400ResponseException as e:
    print(e)

    print(e)

Get Status of a Message

You can get a messsage ID from a sent message by looking at the message_id from the response of the above example.

from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

messages_controller = client.messages
message_id = '877c19ef-fa2e-4cec-827a-e1df9b5509f7'

try:
    result = messages_controller.get_message_status(message_id)
    print(result)
except APIException as e:
    print(e)

Get replies to a message

You can check for replies that are sent to your messages

from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

replies_controller = client.replies
try:
    result = replies_controller.check_replies()
    print(result)
except APIException as e:
    print(e)

Check Delivery Reports

This endpoint allows you to check for delivery reports to inbound and outbound messages.

from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

delivery_reports_controller = client.delivery_reports
try:
    result = delivery_reports_controller.check_delivery_reports()
    print(result)
except APIException as e:
    print(e)

Confirm Delivery Reports

This endpoint allows you to mark delivery reports as confirmed so they're no longer returned by the Check Delivery Reports function.

from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.models.confirm_delivery_reports_as_received_request import ConfirmDeliveryReportsAsReceivedRequest
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

delivery_reports_controller = client.delivery_reports
body = ConfirmDeliveryReportsAsReceivedRequest()
body.delivery_report_ids = ['011dcead-6988-4ad6-a1c7-6b6c68ea628d', '3487b3fa-6586-4979-a233-2d1b095c7718', 'ba28e94b-c83d-4759-98e7-ff9c7edb87a1']

try:
    result = delivery_reports_controller.confirm_delivery_reports_as_received(body)
    print(result)
except APIException as e:
    print(e)

Check credits remaining (Prepaid accounts only)

This endpoint allows you to check for credits remaining on your prepaid account.

from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

messages_controller = client.messages
try:
    result = messages_controller.check_credits_remaining()
    print(result)
except APIException as e:
    print(e)
