Installation

pip install python-termii

---

Configuration

Initialize the client with your API key and base URL. Both can be passed directly or loaded from environment variables.

from termii_py import TermiiClient

# Pass credentials directly
client = TermiiClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", base_url="YOUR_BASE_URL")

# Or set environment variables and call with no arguments
client = TermiiClient()

Using a .env file (recommended):

TERMII_API_KEY=your_api_key
TERMII_BASE_URL=your_base_url

from termii_py import TermiiClient

client = TermiiClient()

Get your API key and base URL from your Termii dashboard. A ClientConfigError is raised if either value is missing.

---

Services

All services are available as attributes on the TermiiClient instance.

Sender ID

Fetch sender IDs — optionally filter by name or status:

# Fetch all
client.sender_id.fetch_id()

# Filter by name or status
client.sender_id.fetch_id(name="MyBrand", status="approved")

Request a new sender ID:

client.sender_id.request_id(
    sender_id="MyBrand",
    usecase="Transactional alerts for order confirmations",
    company="Acme Ltd"
)

---

Messaging

Send a single SMS:

client.message.send_message(
    sent_to="2348012345678",
    sent_from="MyBrand",
    message="Your order has been confirmed.",
    channel="generic",  # "generic", "dnd", or "voice"
    type="plain"
)

For voice channel, type must be "voice". WhatsApp messages must use send_whatsapp_message().

Send a WhatsApp message:

# Text only
client.message.send_whatsapp_message(
    sent_to="2348012345678",
    sent_from="MyBrand",
    message="Hello! Your appointment is confirmed."
)

# With media attachment
client.message.send_whatsapp_message(
    sent_to="2348012345678",
    sent_from="MyBrand",
    message="Here is your receipt.",
    url="https://example.com/receipt.pdf",
    caption="Receipt - March 2025"
)

Send a bulk SMS:

client.message.send_bulk_message(
    sent_to=["2348012345678", "2349087654321"],
    sent_from="MyBrand",
    message="Our sale starts today!",
    channel="generic",  # "generic" or "dnd" only
    type="plain"
)

Voice and WhatsApp are not supported for bulk messaging.

---

Number

Send a message directly to a phone number without a sender ID:

client.number.send_message(
    sent_to="2348012345678",
    message="Your verification code is 123456."
)

---

Template

Send a message using a pre-approved WhatsApp template:

# Text template
client.template.send_message(
    sent_to="2348012345678",
    device_id="your-device-id",
    template_id="your-template-id",
    data={"studname": "Victor", "average": "30"}
)

# Media template (url and caption must be provided together)
client.template.send_message(
    sent_to="2348012345678",
    device_id="your-device-id",
    template_id="your-template-id",
    data={"name": "Victor"},
    url="https://example.com/document.pdf",
    caption="Course Result"
)

device_id is found on the Manage Device page of your Termii dashboard.

---

Phonebook

Fetch all phonebooks:

client.phonebook.fetch_phonebooks()

Create a phonebook:

client.phonebook.create_phonebooks(
    phonebook_name="Newsletter Subscribers",
    description="Users opted in for weekly updates"
)

Update a phonebook:

client.phonebook.update_phonebook(
    phonebook_id="abc123",
    phonebook_name="VIP Customers",
    description="High-value customer segment"
)

Delete a phonebook:

client.phonebook.delete_phonebook(phonebook_id="abc123")

---

Contact

Fetch contacts in a phonebook:

client.contact.fetch_contacts(phonebook_id="abc123")

Add a single contact:

client.contact.create_contact(
    phonebook_id="abc123",
    phone_number="8012345678",
    country_code="234",  # No leading "+"
    first_name="Ada",
    last_name="Obi",
    email_address="[e-mail]",
    company="Acme Ltd"
)

Add multiple contacts via CSV upload:

client.contact.create_multiple_contacts(
    phonebook_id="abc123",
    country_code="234",  # No leading "+"
    file_path="/path/to/contacts.csv"
)

Delete all contacts in a phonebook:

client.contact.delete_contact(phonebook_id="abc123")

⚠️ delete_contact removes all contacts in the specified phonebook. Use with caution.

---

Campaign

Send a campaign:

# Send immediately
client.campaign.send_campaign(
    country_code="234",  # No leading "+"
    sender_id="MyBrand",  # 3–11 characters
    message="Big sale — ends tonight!",
    message_type="plain",  # "plain" or "unicode"
    phonebook_id="abc123",
    enable_link_tracking=False,
    campaign_type="promotional",
    schedule_sms_status="regular",  # "regular" or "scheduled"
    channel="dnd"  # "dnd" or "generic"
)

# Schedule for later
client.campaign.send_campaign(
    country_code="234",
    sender_id="MyBrand",
    message="Your monthly statement is ready.",
    message_type="plain",
    phonebook_id="abc123",
    enable_link_tracking=True,
    campaign_type="transactional",
    schedule_sms_status="scheduled",
    schedule_time="2025-12-31T23:59:00Z",  # Required when schedule_sms_status is "scheduled"
    channel="dnd"
)

Fetch all campaigns:

client.campaign.fetch_campaigns()

Fetch a specific campaign's history:

client.campaign.fetch_campaign_history(campaign_id="camp_xyz")

Retry a failed campaign:

client.campaign.retry_campaign(campaign_id="camp_xyz")

---

Error Handling

The SDK validates inputs before making any network call and raises ValueError for invalid parameters. Wrap calls accordingly:

try:
    response = client.message.send_message(
        sent_to="2348012345678",
        sent_from="MyBrand",
        message="Hello!",
        channel="generic",
        type="plain"
    )
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Validation error: {e}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")
