phaxio
Python client for Phaxio v2 API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is dormant (last release 2017-09-07, last commit 2024-03-25), has high install friction (source-only distribution), and carries no guarantee of compatibility with modern Python or current Phaxio API behavior. Install only if you are already locked into Phaxio and can independently verify that the API surface matches your needs and that the package runs on your Python version.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a Phaxio account with API credentials (key and secret); no runtime dependencies listed but source-only distribution may require build tools.
- High install friction due to source-only distribution (phaxio-0.3.tar.gz).
- The package is dormant—last release was 2017-09-07 and last commit 2024-03-25—so expect no active maintenance or support for modern Python versions or dependency updates.

What it is and what it does
Phaxio is a lightweight Python wrapper around the Phaxio fax service API. It provides a client class that organizes API calls into functional groups (Fax, PhoneNumber, PhaxCode, Account, Countries) and handles the HTTP communication and error responses for you. The library accepts keyword arguments matching Phaxio's documented API parameters and returns structured response objects.
The package is intended for developers who need to integrate fax sending or fax-related operations into Python applications. It has no runtime dependencies, making it minimal to install, but it is dormant—last updated in 2017—so it may not work reliably with modern Python versions or reflect current Phaxio API changes. Use it only if you are already committed to the Phaxio service and can verify API compatibility yourself.
Use it for
- Send faxes to multiple recipients from a Python application using PDF or other supported file formats.
- Retrieve and manage Phaxio phone numbers and account information programmatically.
- Integrate fax sending into a business workflow or document management system.
- Query supported countries and fax capabilities via the Countries API endpoint.
- Handle fax-related errors uniformly through the ApiException class in your application.
