Installation
Usage

Requirements

Flowroute API credentials
Python 2.x or higher

Installation

First, start a shell session and clone the SDK:
- via HTTPS: git clone https://github.com/flowroute/flowroute-numbers-messaging-python.git
- via SSH: git@github.com:flowroute/flowroute-numbers-messaging-python.git
Switch to the newly-created flowroute-numbers-messaging-python directory. Version 3 of the Flowroute SDK for Python comes with a requirements file listing the required Python libraries. Click here to learn more about different ways to install Python packages. Depending on your pip permissions, you may be required to preface each pip command with sudo.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

In Flowroute's approach to building SDK v3 for Python, HTTP requests are handled by controllers named after the API resources they represent: Numbers, Routes, and Messages. These controllers contain the methods used to perform messaging, number management, and route management within the Python SDK.

Controllers

NumbersController

Contains all of the methods necessary to search through Flowroute's phone number inventory, purchase a phone number, and review details of your account phone numbers.

list_available_area_codes() - Returns a list of all Numbering Plan Area (NPA) codes containing purchasable phone numbers. All request parameters are optional. If you don't specify a limit, results are limited to the first 10 items.
list_available_exchange_codes() - Returns a list of all Central Office (exchange) codes containing purchasable phone numbers. All request parameters are optional.
search_for_purchasable_phone_numbers() - Searches for purchasable phone numbers by state or rate center, or by your specified search value.
purchase_a_phone_number(purchasable_number) - Lets you purchase a phone number from available Flowroute inventory.
list_account_phone_numbers() - Returns a list of all phone numbers currently on your Flowroute account.
list_phone_number_details(number_id) - Returns details on a specific phone number associated with your account, including primary voice route, and failover voice route if previously configured.

RoutesController

Contains the methods required to create new inbound routes, view all of your account routes, and update primary and failover voice routes for your phone numbers.

create_an_inbound_route(route_body) - Creates a new inbound route which can then be assigned as either a primary or a failover voice route for a phone number on your account.
list_inbound_routes() - Returns a list of your inbound routes. From the list, you can then select routes to use as the primary and failover voice routes for phone numbers on your account.
update_primary_voice_route(number_id, route_body) - Updates the primary voice route for a phone number. You must create the route first via the create_an_inbound_route(routebody) method.
update_failover_voice_route(number_id, route_body) - Updates the failover voice route for a phone number. You must create the route first via the create_an_inbound_route(routebody) method.

MessagesController

Contains the methods required to send an MMS or SMS, and review a specific Message Detail Record (MDR) or a set of messages.

send_a_message(message_body) - Sends an SMS or MMS from a Flowroute long code or toll-free phone number to another valid phone number.
look_up_a_message_detail_record() - Searches for a specific message record ID and returns a Message Detail Record (in MDR2 format).
look_up_a_set_of_messages() - Retrieves a list of Message Detail Records (MDRs) within a specified date range. Date and time is based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

The following shows an example of a single Python file that imports the Flowroute API client and all the required modules. The Python SDK comes with a demo.py file that you can edit and run as an example.

import pprint
import os
import json
import random
import string
import requests
from flowroutenumbersandmessaging.flowroutenumbersandmessaging_client import FlowroutenumbersandmessagingClient

Credentials

In demo.py, replace basic_auth_user_name with your API Access Key and basic_auth_password with your API Secret Key from the Flowroute Manager. Note that in our example, we are accessing your Flowroute credentials as environment variables. To learn more about setting environment variables, see How To Read and Set Environmental and Shell Variables.

# Set up your api credentials and test mobile number for outbound SMS or MMS
basic_auth_user_name = os.environ.get('FR_ACCESS_KEY')
basic_auth_password = os.environ.get('FR_SECRET_KEY')
mobile_number = "YOUR_MOBILE_NUMBER"

Instantiate API Client and Controllers

Next, instantiate the API Client and its controllers.

# Instantiate API client and create controllers for Numbers, Messages, and Routes
client = FlowroutenumbersandmessagingClient(basic_auth_user_name, basic_auth_password)
numbers_controller = client.numbers
routes_controller = client.routes
messages_controller = client.messages

Methods

The following section will demonstrate the capabilities of Numbers v2 and Messages v2.1 that are wrapped in our Python library. Note that the example responses have been formatted using Mac's pbpaste and jq. To learn more, see Quickly Tidy Up JSON from the Command Line.

Number Management

Flowroute SDK version 3 for Python allows you to make HTTP requests to the numbers resource of Flowroute API v2: https://api.flowroute.com/v2/numbers

print ("---Create an Inbound Route")
# Function to generate six-charac random string
def id_generator(size=6, chars=string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits):
    return ''.join(random.choice(chars) for _ in range(size))
new_route = id_generator() + '.sonsofodin.com'
alias = "new route"
for i in range(10): alias += str(i)
print new_route
request_body = '{ \
  "data": { \
    "type": "route", \
    "attributes": { \
      "route_type": "host", \

if result is None:
    print "204: No Content"
else:
    print result

Example Response

On success, the HTTP status code in the response header is 204 No Content which means that the server successfully processed the request and is not returning any content.

204: No Content

update_failover_voice_route(number_id, route_body)

The method accepts a phone number id and a route record object in JSON format as parameters which you can learn more about in the API reference. In the following example, we extract the third and last route in our list_inbound_routes search result and assign it as the failover voice route for our previously declared number_id.

Example Request

secrouteid = result['data'][2]['id']
request_body = '{ \
  "data": { \
    "type": "route", \
    "id": "' + str(secrouteid) +'" \
  } \
}'

print ("---Update Failover Voice Route")
result = routes_controller.update_failover_voice_route(number_id, request_body)
if result is None:
    print "204: No Content"
else:
    print result

Example Response

On success, the HTTP status code in the response header is 204 No Content which means that the server successfully processed the request and is not returning any content.

204: No Content

Messaging

Flowroute SDK version 3 for Python allows you to make HTTP requests to the messages resource of Flowroute API v2.1: https://api.flowroute.com/v2.1/messages

send_a_message(message_body)

The method accepts a message object in JSON format as a parameter which you can learn more about in the API References for MMS and SMS. In the following example, we are sending an MMS with a gif attachment from the previously declared number_id to your mobile number.

Example Request

request_body = '{ \
  "data": { \
    "type": "message", \
    "attributes": { \
      "to": "' + str(mobile_number) + '", \
      "from": "' + str(number_id) + '", \
      "body": "hello there", \
      "is_mms": "true", \
      "media_urls": ["http://s3.amazonaws.com/barkpost-assets/50+GIFs/37.gif"] \
    } \
  } \
}'

print ("---Send A Message")
result = messages_controller.send_a_message(request_body)
pprint.pprint(result)

Note that this function call is currently commented out. Uncomment to test the send_a_message method.

Example Response

On success, the HTTP status code in the response header is 202 Accepted and the response body contains the message record ID with mdr2 prefix.
