What it is and what it does
bandwidth_sdk is an auto-generated OpenAPI client for Bandwidth's Communication APIs, enabling Python developers to programmatically manage voice calls, conferences, SMS/MMS messaging, phone number lookups, and media storage. It wraps Bandwidth's REST endpoints in Python classes and methods, handling serialization, authentication, and error handling through pydantic, urllib3, and standard library tools.
The package is maintained as an active project with recent releases and requires Python 3.7 or later. It has low install friction—a pure-wheel distribution with four stable runtime dependencies. Use it when you need to integrate Bandwidth's communication services into a Python application, whether for outbound calling, conference management, two-factor authentication, or bulk messaging.
Use it for
- Build outbound calling systems that create, query, and update voice calls via the Calls API.
- Manage multi-party conferences, including member control and recording retrieval.
- Send and receive SMS/MMS messages and manage media uploads for messaging campaigns.
- Implement phone number lookup and verification for lead validation or fraud detection.
- Generate and verify one-time authentication codes for two-factor authentication flows.
- Store and retrieve media assets (recordings, audio files) associated with communication events.
