The Vonage Python SDK Package vonage provides a streamlined interface for using Vonage APIs in Python projects. This package includes the Vonage class, which simplifies API interactions.
The Vonage class in this package serves as the main entry point for using Vonage APIs. It abstracts away complexities with authentication, HTTP requests and more.
For full API documentation refer to the Vonage Developer documentation.
Install the package using pip:
pip install vonagefrom vonage import Vonage, Auth, HttpClientOptions
# Create an Auth instance
auth = Auth(api_key='your_api_key', api_secret='your_api_secret')
# Create HttpClientOptions instance
# (not required unless you want to change options from the defaults)
options = HttpClientOptions(api_host='api.nexmo.com', timeout=30)
# Create a Vonage instance
vonage = Vonage(auth=auth, http_client_options=options)The Vonage class provides access to various Vonage APIs through its properties. For example, to use methods to call the SMS API:
from vonage_sms import SmsMessage
message = SmsMessage(to='1234567890', from_='Vonage', text='Hello World')
response = client.sms.send(message)
print(response.model_dump_json(exclude_unset=True))You can also access the underlying HttpClient instance through the http_client property:
user_agent = vonage.http_client.user_agent
