Welcome folks today in this post we will be sending sms alert message using msg91 api in python 3. All the source code of application is given below.

Get Started

In order to get started we need to register at msg91 website here and create a free account to actually send messages

After this you need to get the api key for your project. Once you logged in just go to the dashboard and there you will see this image below

Here you need to click the create new option to create a new auth key for your project like this

Once supplied the auth key name and the small description then click add

And now you can see the auth key created and you just need to copy it somewhere we will use it later

Now you need to create a app.py file and copy paste the following code

app.py

import http.client as ht 

conn = ht.HTTPSConnection("api.msg91.com") 

headers = {# Paste your MSG91 API Key 
        'authkey' : "###authkey###", 
        'content-type': "application/json"} 


payload = '''{"sender": "MSGAPI", 
            "route": "4", 
            "country": "91", 
            "sms": [ 
                { 
                "message": "Welcome Gautam, Today you have PC class", 
                "to": [ 
                    "##mobilenumber##" 
                ] 
                }
            ] 
            }'''
   
# sending the connection request 
conn.request("POST", "/api/v2/sendsms", payload, headers) 
  
res = conn.getresponse() 
data = res.read() 
  
# printing the acknowledgement 
print(data.decode("utf-8"))

Here in this block of code just replace auth key with your own auth key and replace your own mobile number where you want to send sms alert text message.

Here we are using the built in http library to send a post request to the msg91 api

Now if you execute this python script app.py by executing the command as follows

python app.py

Then you will be receiving a sms alert text message on your respective mobile number that you provided inside the application.
