## :closed_lock_with_key: Authentication

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](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-python-sdk/blob/master/README.md#send-an-sms) below.

## :interrobang: Errors

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.

#### HTTP Status Codes

| 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 |

## :star: Installation
Run the following command to install the SDK via pip:
```
pip install messagemedia-messages-sdk
```

## :clapper: Get Started
It's easy to get started. Simply enter the API Key and secret you obtained from the [MessageMedia Developers Portal](https://developers.messagemedia.com) into the code snippet below and a mobile number you wish to send to.

### Send an SMS
Destination (`destinationNumber`) and source number (`sourceNumber`) should be in the [E.164](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-python-sdk/wiki/Message-Body-Parameters). Alternatively, you can refer [this](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-python-sdk/examples/sendMessage.js) code snippet with all the parameters in use.

```python
from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.models.send_messages_request import SendMessagesRequest
from message_media_messages.models.message import Message
from message_media_messages.models.format_enum import FormatEnum
from message_media_messages.models.source_number_type_enum import SourceNumberTypeEnum
from message_media_messages.models.status_enum import StatusEnum
from message_media_messages.exceptions.send_messages_400_response_exception import SendMessages400ResponseException
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException
import dateutil.parser
import jsonpickle

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

messages_controller = client.messages
body = SendMessagesRequest()
body.messages = []

body.messages.append(Message())
body.messages[0].content = 'My first message'
body.messages[0].destination_number = '+61491570156'

try:
result = messages_controller.send_messages(body)
print(result)
except SendMessages400ResponseException as e:
print(e)
except APIException as e:
print(e)
```

### Send an MMS
Destination (`destinationNumber`) and source number (`sourceNumber`) should be in the [E.164](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-python-sdk/wiki/Message-Body-Parameters). Alternatively, you can refer [this](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-python-sdk/examples/sendMessage.js) code snippet with all the parameters in use.

```python
from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.models.send_messages_request import SendMessagesRequest
from message_media_messages.models.message import Message
from message_media_messages.models.format_enum import FormatEnum
from message_media_messages.models.source_number_type_enum import SourceNumberTypeEnum
from message_media_messages.models.status_enum import StatusEnum
from message_media_messages.exceptions.send_messages_400_response_exception import SendMessages400ResponseException
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException
import dateutil.parser
import jsonpickle

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

messages_controller = client.messages
body = SendMessagesRequest()
body.messages = []

body.messages[0].content = 'My second message'
body.messages[0].destination_number = '+61491570158'
body.messages[0].format = FormatEnum.MMS
body.messages[0].media = ['https://images.pexels.com/photos/1018350/pexels-photo-1018350.jpeg?cs=srgb&dl=architecture-buildings-city-1018350.jpg']
body.messages[0].subject = 'This is an MMS message'

try:
result = messages_controller.send_messages(body)
print(result)
except SendMessages400ResponseException as e:
print(e)
except APIException as e:
print(e)
```

### Get Status of a Message
You can get a messsage ID from a sent message by looking at the `message_id` from the response of the above example.
```python
from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

messages_controller = client.messages
message_id = '877c19ef-fa2e-4cec-827a-e1df9b5509f7'

try:
result = messages_controller.get_message_status(message_id)
print(result)
except APIException as e:
print(e)
```

### Get replies to a message
You can check for replies that are sent to your messages
```python
from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

replies_controller = client.replies
try:
result = replies_controller.check_replies()
print(result)
except APIException as e:
print(e)
```

### Check Delivery Reports
This endpoint allows you to check for delivery reports to inbound and outbound messages.
```python
from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

delivery_reports_controller = client.delivery_reports
try:
result = delivery_reports_controller.check_delivery_reports()
print(result)
except APIException as e:
print(e)
```

### Confirm Delivery Reports
This endpoint allows you to mark delivery reports as confirmed so they're no longer returned by the Check Delivery Reports function.
```python
from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.models.confirm_delivery_reports_as_received_request import ConfirmDeliveryReportsAsReceivedRequest
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

delivery_reports_controller = client.delivery_reports
body = ConfirmDeliveryReportsAsReceivedRequest()
body.delivery_report_ids = ['011dcead-6988-4ad6-a1c7-6b6c68ea628d', '3487b3fa-6586-4979-a233-2d1b095c7718', 'ba28e94b-c83d-4759-98e7-ff9c7edb87a1']

try:
result = delivery_reports_controller.confirm_delivery_reports_as_received(body)
print(result)
except APIException as e:
print(e)
```

### Check credits remaining (Prepaid accounts only)
This endpoint allows you to check for credits remaining on your prepaid account.
```python
from message_media_messages.message_media_messages_client import MessageMediaMessagesClient
from message_media_messages.exceptions.api_exception import APIException

auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac_authentication = False

client = MessageMediaMessagesClient(auth_user_name, auth_password, use_hmac_authentication)

messages_controller = client.messages
try:
result = messages_controller.check_credits_remaining()
print(result)
except APIException as e:
print(e)
```
