It wraps the Azure REST API to let you send SMS messages from your application, either to individual recipients or in bulk to multiple phone numbers. The library handles authentication via connection strings or Azure Active Directory, manages the HTTP communication with Azure's backend, and returns structured responses indicating success or failure for each message.\n\nYou initialize a client with your Azure credentials, then call the send method with source and destination phone numbers, message text, and optional parameters like delivery reporting and custom tags. The library depends on azure-core for common Azure SDK patterns, msrest for HTTP handling, and typing-extensions for type hints. It's designed for applications that need to integrate SMS notifications, alerts, or two-factor authentication into their workflow.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are already using Azure Communication Services and need SMS capability in Python. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, supports current Python versions, and integrates cleanly into the Azure SDK ecosystem. Install only if you have an Azure subscription and a provisioned Communication Services resource; it is not useful as a standalone SMS library."},"id":"azure-communication-sms","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-communication-sms","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/azure-communication-sms.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/azure-communication-sms/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"azure-communication-sms","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Microsoft Azure Communication SMS Client Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":402357,"position":6920,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
