For clarification, I don't want to reply to the SMS. Every tutorial or document I've looked at is about setting up a port to listen on.
What I'm trying to do is just get the SMS and print it. I can send them fine and without problems.
Here is my sending function, and it works.
def send():
message = client.messages \
.create(
body=sendMSG,
from_='MY_TWILIO_NUMBER',
to='MY_PERSONAL_NUMBER'
)
print(message.sid)
How would you receive an SMS without Flask? Is there a way to do something similar to this method below just for receiving?
def receive():
message = client.messages \
.recieve(
from_='MY_PERSONAL_NUMBER',
to='MY_TWILIO_NUMBER'
)
print(message.sid)
I have not personally tried to get SMS messages from the logs before, always getting it directly through a webhook, but from what I see, it appears the command you might be looking for is list(). You can add filters, as shown in the API docs, and there are three filtering options. You can filter by DateSent, To, or From.
I have not tried this, but it would seem that the way to use this would be the following (adjusted from the code they supply):
# Download the helper library from https://www.twilio.com/docs/python/install
from twilio.rest import Client
# Your Account Sid and Auth Token from twilio.com/console
account_sid = 'ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
auth_token = 'your_auth_token'
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
messages = client.messages.list(from='MY_PERSONAL_NUMBER', to='MY_TWILIO_NUMBER')
for record in messages:
print(record.sid)
If that doesn't work, the variables they use are actually capitalized "To" and "From", so you might try that.
After looking at that a bit, you might be looking more for this:
received = client.messages.list(to='MY_TWILIO_NUMBER')
sent = client.messages.list(from='MY_PERSONAL_NUMBER')
That will separate out those sent to you, and those sent from you

I am trying to send a text message that contains both text and a hypeprlink but am encountering the following message from the Twilio API:
"Error - 12300 Invalid Content-Type: Attempt to retrieve MediaUrl returned an unsupported Content-Type."
Here is the code I am attempting to leverage:
import os
from twilio.rest import Client
# Find your Account SID and Auth Token at twilio.com/console
# and set the environment variables. See http://twil.io/secure
account_sid = os.environ['TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID']
auth_token = os.environ['TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN']
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
message = client.messages \
.create(
body='Article: https://4r7s.short.gy/GPaoh7',
from_='123-345-5667',
to='123-345-5668',
)
When I send a message without a hyperlink it works fine (e.g. body = 'Here is the article for you to read') but when it contains a link I receive the aforementioned error. I've also tried using a shortened url of the above but that causes the same issue.
I was just able to send messages containing that exact link using my own Twilio account.
There might be an issue in that you are using phone numbers in local format, when they should be provided in e.164 format.
It's possible that your message is being blocked. Certain carriers don't like when you use link shorteners to obscure a link.
The error you are getting definitely seems weird, since you are not sending media. If you continue to have issues with this, I would contact Twilio support.
Is it possible to send a message to 2 numbers (or more) with Twilio?
I wrote a script to scrape some stock prices and send it to me by Twilio.
My question can I make it to send the same message for me and other people?
.
Thanks in advance.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
You can send the same message to different people at different phone numbers! You would use Python code like this, replacing your account credentials with your own, the message to send, and the different phone numbers to send to.
from twilio.rest import Client
# Your Account Sid and Auth Token from twilio.com/console
# DANGER! This is insecure. See http://twil.io/secure
account_sid = 'YOUR-ACCOUNT-SID'
auth_token = 'YOUR-AUTH-TOKEN'
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
arr = ['PHONE-NUMBER-TO-SEND-TO', 'PHONE-NUMBER-TO-SEND-TO'] #you can add more to this array
for num in arr: #loop through phone numbers in array
message = client.messages.create(
body='Message to send to different people',
from_='YOUR-TWILIO-PHONE-NUMBER',
to=num
)
print(message.sid)
Let me know if this helps at all!
I have 2 Gmail accounts, and I use one ("gmail1") to forward all e-mail to the other one ("gmail2"). This works fine, but I discovered recently (after years!) that in fact, Gmail does not forward all my e-mail, but only the e-mail it considers not to be spam. Therefore, checking my spam folder in gmail2 for missing e-mails, I have often blamed senders, when really the e-mail had gotten lost on gmail1. I want to solve this programatically, by regularly checking for spam e-mails in gmail1 and importing them into gmail2 (then I'm fine with gmail2 categorizing as spam or not, as long as the mail makes its way there).
I'm only a very amateur programmer, and so far thanks to some samples from the gmail API docs, I've managed to log in to my accounts, and retrieve some messages corresponding to a query, including for example recent spam e-mails. However, I'm struggling with the "import" concept and how to use it. There are no Python examples for this, and I couldn't solve the problems I'm facing.
Where I am right now:
- if I "get" a message from gmail1 and attempt an import_ call on gmail2, using the message I just retrieved, I get an error because threadId is not allowed
- if I do the same and then "del message['threadId']" then the error becomes error 400 : 'raw' RFC822 payload message string or uploading message via /upload/* URL required. I've seen that there are some situations where upload is required, but I am completely lost as to what I should do to make this work.
Here's what I have so far (sorry for the very hacky style):
# skipping imports
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly','https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.modify']
def getMessage(service, user_id, msg_id):
"""from gmail API examples"""
try:
message = service.users().messages().get(userId=user_id, id=msg_id).execute()
return message
except errors.HttpError as error:
print ('An error occurred:' , error)
def listMessagesMatchingQuery(service, user_id, query=''):
"""from gmail API examples"""
# skipping some code
return messages
def login(accountId):
"""from gmail API examples, adapted to handle 2 accounts"""
# skipping some code
return build('gmail', 'v1', credentials=creds)
def importMessage(service, user_id, msg):
"""my daring attempt at using import, without any Python sample to use as a basis"""
try:
message = service.users().messages().import_(userId=user_id, body=msg).execute()
return message
except errors.HttpError as error:
print ('An error occurred:' , error)
if __name__ == '__main__':
service_gmail = login('gmail2')
service_dnt = login('gmail1')
messages = listMessagesMatchingQuery(service_dnt,"me","in:spam is:unread after:" + str(int((datetime.now() - timedelta(hours=12)).timestamp())))
# this gets me some recent unread spam messages
m=getMessage(service_dnt,"me",messages[0]['id'])
# now I have a full message - I'm just investigating for now so the first message is enough
del m['threadId']
# if I don't do that, the error I get is that threadId is not allowed here, so I remove it
imported = importMessage(service_gmail,"me",m)
# this now gives me error 400 : 'raw' RFC822 payload message string or uploading message via /upload/* URL required
I'd like to find the way to make this work, so that the e-mail appears in gmail2 as if it had been received by gmail2 directly (though I would like to keep the To: address, as I use a catch-all on gmail1 and want to know which e-mail address the e-mail was directed to). But right now, I get only errors about having to use upload; I'm not sure if that's what I really should be doing, and if it is , I have no idea how.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
In the end I managed. I had missed the fact that there are 2 ways to "get" messages, a simple one and a "raw" one. With the "raw" way to access the message, I can use the import_ function easily:
message = service_dnt.users().messages().get(userId="me", id=messageId,format='raw').execute()
imported = importMessage(service_gmail,"me",{'raw': message['raw']})
whereby the importMessage function is unchanged vs. the original code I posted.
I would want to create an sms gateway to be sending sms to my site users with python, without using any sms gateway. how do i go about it.
I want it to be hosted in my site.
Not entirely sure what you mean by SMS gateway but there is a Python module that allows you to send SMS messages .
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Clockwork/1.2.0
Basic example:
from clockwork import clockwork
api = clockwork.API('API_KEY_GOES_HERE')
message = clockwork.SMS(to = '441234123456', message = 'This is a test message.')
response = api.send(message)
if response.success:
print (response.id)
else:
print (response.error_code)
print (response.error_message)
Sorry if this isn't what you are looking for.
I was trying out a Gtalk bot using python and XMPP.
When I ping the bot using iChat application, I could receive the response back.
But when I ping using Hangouts, I am not able to receive the response message. But still I could see my message at server side logs.
# -- coding: utf-8 -
import xmpp
user="BOTUSERNAME#gmail.com"
password="PASSWORD"
server=('talk.google.com', 5223)
def message_handler(connect_object, message_node):
us = str(message_node.getFrom()).split('/')[0]
if us == 'REALUSERNAME#gmail.com':
us = us[0:4]
print str(message_node)
message = "Welcome to my first Gtalk Bot :) " + us
s= str(message_node.getBody()).replace("\n", "\t")
if s <> 'None' :
print "MESSAGE: " + s
connect_object.send(xmpp.Message( message_node.getFrom() ,message))
jid = xmpp.JID(user)
connection = xmpp.Client(jid.getDomain())
connection.connect(server)
result = connection.auth(jid.getNode(), password )
connection.RegisterHandler('message', message_handler)
connection.sendInitPresence()
while connection.Process(1):
pass
Is this something to do with gtalk moving out of XMPP support?
My Bot is still able to receive message but my Hangouts Application is not receiving response
I was able to fix the issue.
You need to add typ = 'chat' attribute to xmpp.Message
connect_object.send(xmpp.Message( message_node.getFrom() ,message, typ='chat' ))
Now my gTalkBot reponds to my message from hangouts & ichat client.
Many thanks to this stack overflow answer
If you have extended sleekxmpp.ClientXMPP, then you can ensure messages are sent to hangouts by added mtype='chat' to send_message()
bot = MyBot([...])
bot.send_message(mto=JID,mbody=MSG,mtype='chat')
