Vonage Server SDK for Python

Project description

Vonage Server SDK for Python

Vonage

PyPI version Build Status Python versions supported Code style: black

This is the Python server SDK for Vonage's API. To use it you'll need a Vonage account. Sign up for free at vonage.com.

Installation

To install the Python client library using pip:

pip install vonage

To upgrade your installed client library using pip:

pip install vonage --upgrade

Alternatively, you can clone the repository via the command line:

git clone git@github.com:Vonage/vonage-python-sdk.git

or by opening it on GitHub desktop.

Usage

Begin by importing the vonage module:

import vonage

Then construct a client object with your key and secret:

client = vonage.Client(key=api_key, secret=api_secret)

For production, you can specify the VONAGE_API_KEY and VONAGE_API_SECRET environment variables instead of specifying the key and secret explicitly.

For newer endpoints that support JWT authentication such as the Voice API, you can also specify the application_id and private_key arguments:

client = vonage.Client(application_id=application_id, private_key=private_key)

To check signatures for incoming webhook requests, you'll also need to specify the signature_secret argument (or the VONAGE_SIGNATURE_SECRET environment variable).

To use the SDK to call Vonage APIs, pass in dicts with the required options to methods like Sms.send_message(). Examples of this are given below.

Simplified structure for calling API Methods

The client now instantiates a class object for each API when it is created, e.g. vonage.Client(key="mykey", secret="mysecret") instantiates instances of Account, Sms, NumberInsight etc. These instances can now be called directly from Client, e.g.

client = vonage.Client(key="mykey", secret="mysecret")

print(f"Account balance is: {client.account.get_balance()}")

print("Sending an SMS")
client.sms.send_message({
    "from": "Vonage",
    "to": "SOME_PHONE_NUMBER",
    "text": "Hello from Vonage's SMS API"
})

This means you don't have to create a separate instance of each class to use its API methods. Instead, you can access class methods from the client instance with

client.CLASS_NAME.CLASS_METHOD

SMS API

Although the Messages API adds more messaging channels, the SMS API is still supported.

Send an SMS

# New way
client = vonage.Client(key=VONAGE_API_KEY, secret=VONAGE_API_SECRET)
client.sms.send_message({
    "from": VONAGE_BRAND_NAME,
    "to": TO_NUMBER,
    "text": "A text message sent using the Vonage SMS API",
})

# Old way
from vonage import Sms
sms = Sms(key=VONAGE_API_KEY, secret=VONAGE_API_SECRET)
sms.send_message({
            "from": VONAGE_BRAND_NAME,
            "to": TO_NUMBER,
            "text": "A text message sent using the Vonage SMS API",
})

Send SMS with unicode

client = vonage.Client(key=VONAGE_API_KEY, secret=VONAGE_API_SECRET)
client.sms.send_message({
    'from': VONAGE_BRAND_NAME,
    'to': TO_NUMBER,
    'text': 'こんにちは世界',
    'type': 'unicode',
})

Submit SMS Conversion

client = vonage.Client(key=VONAGE_API_KEY, secret=VONAGE_SECRET)
response = client.sms.send_message({
    'from': VONAGE_BRAND_NAME,
    'to': TO_NUMBER,
    'text': 'Hi from Vonage'
})
client.sms.submit_sms_conversion(response['message-id'])

Update the default SMS webhook URLs for callbacks/delivery reciepts

client.sms.update_default_sms_webhook({
    'moCallBackUrl': 'new.url.vonage.com',      # Default inbound sms webhook url
    'drCallBackUrl': 'different.url.vonage.com' # Delivery receipt url
    }})

The delivery receipt URL can be unset by sending an empty string.

Messages API

The Messages API is an API that allows you to send messages via SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, Messenger and Viber. Call the API from your Python code by passing a dict of parameters into the client.messages.send_message() method.

It accepts JWT or API key/secret authentication.

Some basic samples are below. For more detailed information and code snippets, please visit the Vonage Developer Documentation.

Send an SMS

responseData = client.messages.send_message({
        'channel': 'sms',
        'message_type': 'text',
        'to': '447123456789',
        'from': 'Vonage',
        'text': 'Hello from Vonage'
    })

Send an MMS

Note: only available in the US. You will need a 10DLC number to send an MMS message.

client.messages.send_message({
        'channel': 'mms',
        'message_type': 'image',
        'to': '11112223333',
        'from': '1223345567',
        'image': {'url': 'https://example.com/image.jpg', 'caption': 'Test Image'}
    })

Send an audio file via WhatsApp

You will need a WhatsApp Business Account to use WhatsApp messaging. WhatsApp restrictions mean that you must send a template message to a user if they have not previously messaged you, but you can send any message type to a user if they have messaged your business number in the last 24 hours.

client.messages.send_message({
        'channel': 'whatsapp',
        'message_type': 'audio',
        'to': '447123456789',
        'from': '440123456789',
        'audio': {'url': 'https://example.com/audio.mp3'}
    })

Send a video file via Facebook Messenger

You will need to link your Facebook business page to your Vonage account in the Vonage developer dashboard. (Click on the sidebar "External Accounts" option to do this.)

client.messages.send_message({
        'channel': 'messenger',
        'message_type': 'video',
        'to': '594123123123123',
        'from': '1012312312312',
        'video': {'url': 'https://example.com/video.mp4'}
    })

Send a text message with Viber

client.messages.send_message({
    'channel': 'viber_service',
    'message_type': 'text',
    'to': '447123456789',
    'from': '440123456789',
    'text': 'Hello from Vonage!'
})

Verify the Signature of a Webhook Sent by Vonage

If signed webhooks are enabled (the default), Vonage will sign webhooks with the signature secret found in the API Settings section of the Vonage Developer Dashboard.

if client.voice.verify_signature('JWT_RECEIVED_FROM_VONAGE', 'MY_VONAGE_SIGNATURE_SECRET'):
    print('Signature is valid!')
else:
    print('Signature is invalid!')

NCCO Builder

The SDK contains a builder to help you create Call Control Objects (NCCOs) for use with the Vonage Voice API.

For more information, check the full NCCO reference documentation on the Vonage website.

An NCCO is a list of "Actions": steps to be followed when a call is initiated or received.

Use the builder to construct valid NCCO actions, which are modelled in the SDK as Pydantic models, and build them into an NCCO. The NCCO actions supported by the builder are:

  • Record
  • Conversation
  • Connect
  • Talk
  • Stream
  • Input
  • Notify

Construct actions

record = Ncco.Record(eventUrl=['https://example.com'])
talk = Ncco.Talk(text='Hello from Vonage!', bargeIn=True, loop=5, premium=True)

The Connect action has each valid endpoint type (phone, application, WebSocket, SIP and VBC) specified as a Pydantic model so these can be validated, though it is also possible to pass in a dict with the endpoint properties directly into the Ncco.Connect object.

This example shows a Connect action created with an endpoint object.

phone = ConnectEndpoints.PhoneEndpoint(
        number='447000000000',
        dtmfAnswer='1p2p3p#**903#',
    )
connect = Ncco.Connect(endpoint=phone, eventUrl=['https://example.com/events'], from_='447000000000')

This example shows a different Connect action, created with a dictionary.

connect = Ncco.Connect(endpoint={'type': 'phone', 'number': '447000000000', 'dtmfAnswer': '2p02p'}, randomFromNumber=True)

Build into an NCCO

Create an NCCO from the actions with the Ncco.build_ncco method. This will be returned as a list of dicts representing each action and can be used in calls to the Voice API.

ncco = Ncco.build_ncco(record, connect, talk)

response = client.voice.create_call({
    'to': [{'type': 'phone', 'number': TO_NUMBER}],
    'from': {'type': 'phone', 'number': VONAGE_NUMBER},
    'ncco': ncco
})

pprint(response)

Note on from_ parameter in connect action

When using the connect action, use the parameter from_ to specify the recipient (as from is a reserved keyword in Python!)

Verify V2 API

V2 of the Vonage Verify API lets you send verification codes via SMS, WhatsApp, Voice and Email.

You can also verify a user by WhatsApp Interactive Message or by Silent Authentication on their mobile device.

Cancel your subscription for a specific number

params = {'country': 'US', 'msisdn': 'number_to_cancel'}
client.numbers.cancel_number(params)

# To cancel a number assigned to a subaccount
params = {'country': 'US', 'msisdn': 'number_to_buy', 'target_api_key': SUBACCOUNT_API_KEY}
client.numbers.cancel_number(params)

Update the behaviour of a number that you own

params = {"country": "US", "msisdn": "number_to_update", "moHttpUrl": "callback_url"}
client.numbers.update_number(params)

Pricing API

Get pricing for a single country

client.account.get_country_pricing(country_code='GB', type='sms') # Default type is sms

Get pricing for all countries

client.account.get_all_countries_pricing(type='sms') # Default type is sms, can be voice

Get pricing for a specific dialling prefix

client.account.get_prefix_pricing(prefix='44', type='sms')

Managing Secrets

An API is provided to allow you to rotate your API secrets. You can create a new secret (up to a maximum of two secrets) and delete the existing one once all applications have been updated.

List Secrets

secrets = client.account.list_secrets(API_KEY)

Get information about a specific secret

secrets = client.account.get_secret(API_KEY, secret_id)

Create A New Secret

Create a new secret (the created dates will help you know which is which):

client.account.create_secret(API_KEY, 'awes0meNewSekret!!;');

Delete A Secret

Delete the old secret (any application still using these credentials will stop working):

client.account.revoke_secret(API_KEY, 'my-secret-id')

Application API

Create an application

response = client.application.create_application({name='Example App', type='voice'})

Docs: https://developer.nexmo.com/api/application.v2#createApplication

Retrieve a list of applications

response = client.application.list_applications()

Docs: https://developer.nexmo.com/api/application.v2#listApplication

Retrieve a single application

response = client.application.get_application(uuid)

Docs: https://developer.nexmo.com/api/application.v2#getApplication

Update an application

response = client.application.update_application(uuid, answer_method='POST')

Docs: https://developer.nexmo.com/api/application.v2#updateApplication

Delete an application

response = client.application.delete_application(uuid)

Docs: https://developer.nexmo.com/api/application.v2#deleteApplication

Users API

These API methods are part of the Application (v2) API but are a in separate module in the SDK. See the API reference for more details.

List all Users

client.users.list_users()

Create a new user

client.users.create_user() # Default values generated
client.users.create_user(params={...}) # Specify custom values

Get detailed information about a user

client.users.get_user('USER_ID')

Update user details

client.users.update_user('USER_ID', params={...})

Delete a user

client.users.delete_user('USER_ID')

Validate webhook signatures

client = vonage.Client(signature_secret='secret')

if client.check_signature(request.query):
  # valid signature
else:
  # invalid signature

Docs: https://developer.nexmo.com/concepts/guides/signing-messages

Note: you'll need to contact support@nexmo.com to enable message signing on your account before you can validate webhook signatures.

JWT parameters

By default, the library generates tokens for JWT authentication that have an expiry time of 15 minutes. You should set the expiry time (exp) to an appropriate value for your organisation's own policies and/or your use case.

Use the auth method of the client class to specify custom parameters:

client.auth(nbf=nbf, exp=exp, jti=jti)
# OR
client.auth({'nbf': nbf, 'exp': exp, 'jti': jti})

Overriding API Attributes

In order to rewrite/get the value of variables used across all the Vonage classes Python uses Call by Object Reference that allows you to create a single client to use with all API classes.

An example using setters/getters with Object references:

from vonage import Client

# Define the client
client = Client(key='YOUR_API_KEY', secret='YOUR_API_SECRET')
print(client.host()) # using getter for host -- value returned: rest.nexmo.com

# Change the value in client
client.host('mio.nexmo.com') # Change host to mio.nexmo.com - this change will be available for sms
client.sms.send_message(params) # Sends an SMS to the host above

Overriding API Host / Host Attributes

These attributes are private in the client class and the only way to access them is using the getters/setters we provide.

from vonage import Client

client = Client(key='YOUR_API_KEY', secret='YOUR_API_SECRET')
print(client.host()) # return rest.nexmo.com
client.host('newhost.vonage.com') # rewrites the host value to newhost.vonage.com
print(client.api_host()) # returns api.vonage.com
client.api_host('myapi.vonage.com') # rewrite the value of api_host to myapi.vonage.com

asyncio Support

asyncio is a library to write concurrent code using the async/await syntax.

We don't currently support asyncio in the Python SDK but we are planning to do so in upcoming releases.

Contributing

We :heart: contributions! But if you plan to work on something big or controversial, please contact us by raising an issue first!

We recommend working on vonage-python-sdk with a virtualenv. The following command will install all the Python dependencies you need to run the tests:

make install

The tests are all written with pytest. You run them with:

make test

We use Black for code formatting, with our config in the pyproject.toml file. To ensure a PR follows the right format, you can set up and use our pre-commit settings with

pre-commit install

Then when you commit code, if it's not in the right format, it will be automatically fixed for you. After that, just commit again and everything should work as expected!
