'callback': cc.YES,... 'msg_type': cc.SMS_DEFAULT,... 'deliv_ack': cc.YES,... 'req_feat': cc.FEAT_ALPHA + \... cc.FEAT_NUMER + \... cc.FEAT_DELIVACK... })>>> clickatell.sendmsg(recipients=, \... sender='27123456789', text='hello world')>>>Next steps, get some credit for your Clickatell account.Getting startedMake sure you have an account with Clickatell, they'll give you 10 free SMSs that you can use for testing. However, even undelivered messages count against your credit, make sure you use the library 100% correct if you're planning on actually using the 10. Use the username, password & api_id they provide.If you're wanting to use the code then the following should be enoughpython setup.py installIf you're looking to develop the code do the following:$ virtualenv --no-site-packages ve/$ source ve/bin/activate(ve)$ pip -E ve/ install -r requirements.pip(ve)$ python setup.py develop...The Clickatell library from src/ will be on your PYTHONPATH and accessible via the Python shell.TestingThis project uses Nose for tests, the master branch should be stable at all times:(ve)$ pip install nose(ve)$ nosetests...Using BellvilleSome code examples that illustrate how this thing works.Sending a single SMS>>> from clickatell.api import Clickatell>>> clickatell = Clickatell('username','password','api_id')>>> = clickatell.sendmsg(recipients=,... sender='27123456789',... text='hello world')>>> respIDResponse: ce7f181a44a4a5b7e43fe2b9a0b1f0c1>>> resp.value # Clickatell's apiMsgId value'ce7f181a44a4a5b7e43fe2b9a0b1f0c1'>>>Sending an SMS to multiple recipients>>> = clickatell.sendmsg(recipients=,... sender='27123456789',... text='hello world')>>> resp1.value # the apiMsgId'ce7f181a44a4a5b7e43fe2b9a0b1f0c1'>>> resp1.extra # the extra values returned for the response{'To': '27123456781'}>>> resp2.value'ce7f181a44a4a5b7e43fe2b9a0b1f0c2'>>> resp2.extra{'To': '27123456782'}>>>Checking the status of a messageClickatell allows you to check the status of messages by polling their servers. However, they also allow you to use HTTP callbacks, where they post the status to your servers in realtime. This is much faster and more efficient.>>> status = clickatell.querymsg( \... apimsgid='ce7f181a44a4a5b7e43fe2b9a0b1f0c1')>>> status.value'ce7f181a44a4a5b7e43fe2b9a0b1f0c1'>>> status.extra{'Status': '002'}>>>Checking the balance of your Clickatell account>>> clickatell.getbalance()0.67000000000000004>>>Checking the coverage of an MSISDN>>> clickatell.check_coverage('27219107700')ERRResponse: This prefix is not currently supported.
