Why do you need it?

This snippet might be helpful to you if you need to pull your message records from SignalWire into a more readable format or somewhere easy to store. You can use one or more of the following parameters to further filter your records and return only the specific information that you need: DateSent, From, To, and Status.

You can read more about the List Messages API here.

What does it do?

This code will query your project and return all of the messages (both inbound and outbound) within your project, limited by whatever parameters you choose to use.This example shows how to filter all messages by a particular date range and from number. It will then take this data and insert it into a CSV for your records or further use.

Technical specifications

  1. For the python version of this snippet, You MUST have datetime and pandas installed and imported for this to work. DateTime is required to work with datetime objects and Pandas is required to create the dataframe and export to CSV.

  2. You must have the SignalWire Python SDK installed. You can install that here.

Change the following variables

  1. ProjectID - Your project ID is an alphanumeric string that tells the SignalWire SDK where to find your project. You can find this in an easily copyable format by going to yourSignalWire Portal and clicking the API tab on the lefthand side.

  2. AuthToken - Your Auth Token is an alphanumeric string that helps to authenticate your HTTP requests to SignalWire. You can create this (if you haven’t already) or copy this in an easily copyable format by going to your SignalWire Portal and clicking the API tab. If you have not created an API token, press the blue new button. If you have, click show and copy the string.

  3. SpaceURL - Your space URL is the domain of your space, i.e. example.signalwire.com. This can also be found in an easily copyable format within the API tab in your SignalWire space.

  4. Change the date and from number when calling clients.messages.list() to specify the date range and from number that you need. If you are filtering by another parameter, you can add it within client.messages.list()

Comments

This snippet uses the Python SDK to query the SignalWire API and return all the message data matching the parameters you choose to set. This data is then inserted into a Pandas DataFrame and exported to a CSV file with the following columns:

  • From phone number

  • To phone number

  • Date

  • Status (queued, sending, sent, delivered, undelivered, failed, receiving, received)

  • MessagelSID (361d7f20-f30d-4baf-b8ca-c7912dleaacf)
