Full Reference

dev.bandwidth.com/python-bandwidth

Requirements

• Bandwidth Account
• At least Python 2.7

Installation

pip install bandwidth-sdk

Usage

Client Initialization

import bandwidth
voice_api = bandwidth.client('voice', 'u-user', 't-token', 's-secret')
messaging_api = bandwidth.client('messaging', 'u-user', 't-token', 's-secret')
account_api = bandwidth.client('account', 'u-user', 't-token', 's-secret')

## Or import each individually for better IDE integration::

from bandwidth import messaging, voice, account
messaging_api = messaging.Client('u-user', 't-token', 's-secret')
voice_api = voice.Client('u-user', 't-token', 's-secret')
account_api = account.Client('u-user', 't-token', 's-secret')

Each of these code sample assumes that you have already initialized a client

Search and order phone number

numbers = account_api.search_available_local_numbers(area_code = '910', quantity = 3)
print(numbers[0]['number'])
## +19104440230

my_number = account_api.order_phone_number(numbers[0]['number'])

print(my_number)
