Documentation

Code documentation is included in the SDK. Complete documentation, quick start guides and reference material for the TeleSign API is available within the TeleSign Standard Documentation.

Installation

To install the TeleSign Python SDK:

$ pip install telesign

Python 2.7+ is required for the TeleSign Python SDK.

Authentication

You will need a Customer ID and API Key in order to use TeleSign’s API. If you already have an account you can retrieve them from your account dashboard within the Portal. If you have not signed up yet, sign up here.

Dependencies

We make use of popular, feature-rich and well-tested open-source libraries to perform the underlying functionality of the SDK. These dependencies are managed by the community accepted package manager. If you are unable to add these additional third party dependencies to your project we have ensured that the SDK code is easy to read and can serve as sample code. We have also made sure that more complicated functions such as generate_telesign_headers can be easily extracted from the SDK and used ‘as is’ in your project.

Python Code Example: Messaging

Here is a basic code example with the JSON response.

from __future__ import print_function
from telesign.messaging import MessagingClient

customer_id = "FFFFFFFF-EEEE-DDDD-1234-AB1234567890"
api_key = "EXAMPLE----TE8sTgg45yusumoN6BYsBVkh+yRJ5czgsnCehZaOYldPJdmFh6NeX8kunZ2zU1YWaUw/0wV6xfw=="

phone_number = "phone_number"
message = "You're scheduled for a dentist appointment at 2:30PM."
message_type = "ARN"

messaging_client = MessagingClient(customer_id, api_key)
response = messaging_client.message(phone_number, message, message_type)

print(response.json)

{'reference_id': 'DGFDF6E11AB86303ASDFD425BE00000657',
 'status': {'code': 103,
    'description': 'Call in progress',
    'updated_on': '2016-12-12T00:39:58.325559Z'}}
