About TextMagic Python API

The TextMagic Python API includes classes and methods for accessing the functionality of the TextMagic REST API.

Installing

The easiest way to install the TextMagic Python API is via pip:

pip install textmagic

You can also install the package manually:

git clone git@github.com:textmagic/textmagic-rest-python.git
cd textmagic-python
python setup.py install

Usage

The first thing to do is create a TextmagicRestClient object:

from textmagic.rest import TextmagicRestClient
client = TextmagicRestClient("username", "API key")

You will, of course, need to provide your own username and API key.

To send an SMS message:

client.messages.create(phones="comma-separated list of phone numbers", text="message text")

You can send to multiple phone numbers by separating them by a comma.

Building the Documentation

Sphinx document is provided in the doc directory. Building the documentation is as simple as runing make html, make latexpdf, etc. If you are are using virtualenv, you may need to tweak the make file to use sphinx-build from your virtualenv. Alternatively, you could use sphinx-build directly.
