vonage-sms

What it is and what it does

vonage-sms is a Python client library for Vonage's SMS API, designed to simplify sending SMS messages from Python applications. It wraps the Vonage HTTP SMS endpoint and provides a type-safe interface through pydantic models: you create an SmsMessage object with recipient, sender, and text, pass it to the Sms.send method, and receive an SmsResponse object with the result.

The package depends on vonage-http-client for HTTP communication and vonage-utils for shared utilities, and uses pydantic for data validation and serialization. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.13 and is actively maintained by Vonage, with no known security vulnerabilities.

Use it for:

• Send transactional SMS alerts (password resets, order confirmations) from a Python backend
• Integrate SMS notifications into a larger application using the main vonage package
• Build a notification service that dispatches SMS to multiple recipients
• Handle SMS API responses in a type-safe way using pydantic models

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Sends SMS messages via Vonage's API and handles responses through a structured SmsResponse class.

Yes, if you need to send SMS via Vonage. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, permissive licensing, and no known vulnerabilities. However, verify whether you should use this directly or through the main vonage package, as the documentation recommends the latter.

Install

Quickstart

pip install vonage-sms

from vonage_sms import SmsMessage, SmsResponse

message = SmsMessage(to='1234567890', from_='Acme Inc.', text='Hello, World!')
response: SmsResponse = vonage_client.sms.send(message)

Requires a vonage_client instance (typically from the main vonage package) and valid Vonage API credentials.

Verify before relying

• Whether this package is intended for standalone use or only as part of the main vonage package
• What authentication credentials or setup are required before sending SMS messages
