# Send a text message
text_res = client.send_text("[phone]", "Hello world")

print(f"Verified: {result.verified}")

API Reference

create_client(url, api_key, **options)

Creates a new Wotp client instance.

Parameter	Type	Description
url	str	Base URL of your Wotp instance
api_key	str	Your anon or service API key
max_retries	int	Max retries on transient errors (default: 3)
retry_delay	float	Base delay in seconds between retries (default: 0.5)
timeout	float	Request timeout in seconds (default: 10.0)

client.send_otp(phone)

Send an OTP to the given phone number.

• Parameters: phone — E.164 formatted phone number
• Returns: SendOTPResponse with .token and .expires_at
• Raises: RateLimitError

client.verify_otp(token, code)

Verify an OTP code against a previously issued token.

• Parameters: token — from send_otp, code — the user-entered code
• Returns: VerifyOTPResponse with .verified, .phone, .attempts_remaining
• Raises: ExpiredTokenError, InvalidCodeError

client.health()

Check the health of the Wotp instance.

• Returns: HealthResponse with .status, .phone, .uptime_seconds

Error Handling

The SDK raises typed exceptions for business failures:

from wotp import create_client, RateLimitError, ExpiredTokenError, InvalidCodeError

client = create_client("http://localhost:54321", "wotp_anon_xxx")

try:
    result = client.verify_otp(token, code)
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except ExpiredTokenError:
    print("Token expired — request a new OTP")
except InvalidCodeError as e:
    print(f"Wrong code. {e.attempts_remaining} attempts left")

Exception	When
RateLimitError	Phone/IP exceeded rate limit (HTTP 429)
ExpiredTokenError	Token has expired (HTTP 410 or expired_token)
InvalidCodeError	Wrong OTP code (HTTP 400 + invalid_code)
WotpError	Base class for all SDK errors

Context Manager

The client can be used as a context manager to ensure proper cleanup:

with create_client("http://localhost:54321", "wotp_anon_xxx") as client:
    resp = client.send_otp("[phone]")

Auto-Retry

Transient errors (502, 503, 504, network timeouts) are automatically retried with exponential backoff. Business errors are never retried.

Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.10
• A running Wotp instance
