Does anyone here have experience with the VoIP.ms API, specifically with Python?
Here’s an example of how you could send an SMS using the voip.ms API with Python.
In a production environment I import my credentials using a .env file and the python-dotenv module.
The code is a little rough but it’s a starting point.
import requests
class VoipMS:
def __init__(self, username: str, password: str):
self.params: dict[str, str] = {
"api_username": username,
"api_password": password
}
self.url = "https://voip.ms/api/v1/rest.php"
def send_sms(self, did: str, destination: str, message: str) -> requests.Response:
"""Send an sms.
Parameters
----------
did : str
Your SMS enabled VoipMS DID.
destination : str
The number you want to send an SMS to.
message : str
The body of your SMS message (max chars: 160)
"""
_params: dict[str, str] = {
"method": "sendSMS",
"did": did,
"dst": destination,
"message": message
}
self.params.update(_params)
return requests.get(self.url, params=self.params)
def main(voipms: VoipMS):
message = "Hello World"
response = voipms.send_sms(did="1231231234", destination="3213213210", message=message)
print(response.json())
if __name__ == "__main__":
main(VoipMS("[email protected]", "APIpassword"))

What is requests module?
See the documentation provided by dicko. Requests is one of the most downloaded Python packages. It is used to make API requests.
Yes. I have used it but a long time ago.
Then in case you forgot this also . . .
Never used it. Most stuff I’ve done in python has been with boto3 with the AWS cli or geocoding modules.
It looks useful
When I try to use my number as the destination, ít says it’s invalid. 8054676070. Still investigating it authenticates okay and it accepts the did I put in which is the same as the destination. I tried another destination too and it still wouldn’t accept it
Two things to check:
The number you pass in the did parameter needs to be a voipms did and needs to have sms enabled.
In the API section of your voipms portal, you need to make sure to whitelist the IP address that you’re running the Python script from.
If those things are ok and it still doesn’t work, you should open up a ticket with voipms.
The DID is fine. It is saying the destination is invalid
They won’t support python
The problem was the destination was the same as the DID, which is not allowed
Thanks for your help. This gets me started
