The MessageMedia Messages API provides a number of endpoints for building powerful two-way messaging applications.
Authentication is done via API keys. Sign up at https://developers.messagemedia.com/register/ to get your API keys.
Requests are authenticated using HTTP Basic Auth or HMAC. For Basic Auth, your API key will be basicAuthUserName and API secret will be basicAuthPassword. For HMAC, your API key will be hmacAuthUserName and API secret will be hmacAuthPassword. This is demonstrated in the Send an SMS example below.
Our API returns standard HTTP success or error status codes. For errors, we will also include extra information about what went wrong encoded in the response as JSON. The most common status codes are listed below.
| Code | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | Invalid Request | The request was invalid |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Your API credentials are invalid |
| 403 | Disabled feature | Feature not enabled |
| 404 | Not Found | The resource does not exist |
| 50X | Internal Server Error | An error occurred with our API |

We welcome your thoughts on how we could best provide you with SDKs that would simplify how you consume our services in your application. You can fork and create pull requests for any features you would like to see or raise an issue. Please be aware that a large share of the files are auto-generated by our backend tool.
Run the following command to install the SDK via pip:
pip install messagemedia-messages-sdk
It's easy to get started. Simply enter the API Key and secret you obtained from the MessageMedia Developers Portal into the code snippet below and a mobile number you wish to send to.
Destination (destinationNumber) and source number (sourceNumber) should be in the E.164 format. For example, +61491570156 NOT 0491570156. The code snippet below comprises of only the bare minimum parameters required to send a message. You can view the full list of parameters over here. Alternatively, you can refer this code snippet with all the parameters in use.
