List Messages

👍
You're ready for this tutorial if you've got the following:
A FreeClimb account
A registered application
A configured FreeClimb number
Your tools and language installed

Node.js

Get this repo

Using the FreeClimb SDK, you can make an asynchronous request for all messages associated with the account. Successful invocation returns the first page of messages and the object enables sequential iteration through the pages. Then, nextPageUri can retrieve the entire list of messages. Additional filtering criteria such as date and message are possible, but not shown in this example. The complete list of filtering criteria can be found within the List SMS Messages API Reference.

Create your package.json file and save in the root directory of your project:

{
  "name": "node-list-messages-tutorial",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "@freeclimb/sdk": "^1.0.0",
    "dotenv": "^8.1.0"
  }
}

Install the packages:

yarn install

Get the list of messages:

require('dotenv').config()
const freeclimbSDK = require('@freeclimb/sdk')

const accountId = process.env.ACCOUNT_ID
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY
// your freeclimb API credentials (available in the Dashboard) - be sure to set up environment variables to store these values
const freeclimb = freeclimbSDK(accountId, apiKey)

getMessages().then(messages => {
  // Use messages
}).catch(err => {
  // Catch Errors
})

async function getMessages() {
  // Create array to store all members 
  const messages = []
  // Invoke GET method to retrieve initial list of members information
  const first = await freeclimb.api.messages.getList()
  messages.push(...first.messages)
  // Get Uri for next page
  let nextPageUri = first.nextPageUri
  // Retrieve entire members list 
  while (nextPageUri) {
    const nextPage = await freeclimb.api.messages.getNextPage(nextPageUri)
    messages.push(...nextPage.messages)
    nextPageUri = nextPage.nextPageUri
  }
  return messages
}

Start the script:

node listMessages.js

Java

Get this repo

After creating the FreeClimbClient, you can access the MessagesRequester via the messages attribute to make a synchronous request for all messages associated with the account. Call the get function to return a MessageList, which contains the paginated list of messages and allows for sequential iteration. Additional filtering criteria, such as date and message are possible, but not shown in this example. The complete list of filtering criteria can be found within the List SMS Messages API Reference.

Python

Get this repo

After creating the FreeClimb ApiClient object, you can use the list_sms_messages function in the DefaultApi class to make a list_sms_messages request and return the first page of messages. Then, the next_page_uri attribute can retrieve additional pages. In this example, these messages are stored in a file named message_results.txt. Additional filtering criteria, such as date and message are possible, but not shown in this example. The complete list of filtering criteria can be found within the List SMS Messages API Reference.

Create your Requirements file and save in the root directory of your project:

requests >= 2.22.0
freeclimb >= 4.0.0

Install the packages:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Get the list of messages through the FreeClimb Python SDK:

import freeclimb
import os
import requests
import json
from freeclimb.api import default_api


configuration = freeclimb.Configuration(
    # Defining host is optional and default to https://www.freeclimb.com/apiserver
    host     = "https://www.freeclimb.com/apiserver",
    # Configure HTTP basic authorization: fc
    username = os.environ['ACCOUNT_ID'],
    password = os.environ['API_KEY']
)

with freeclimb.ApiClient(configuration) as api_client:
    # Create an instance of the API class
    api_instance = default_api.DefaultApi(api_client)
    # Create an instance of the API class

    first_message = api_instance.list_sms_messages()

    next_page_uri = first_message.next_page_uri

    all_messages = []
    all_messages.extend(map(lambda x: x.to_dict(), first_message.messages))
    while(next_page_uri != None):
        next_message = requests.get(url=configuration.host + next_page_uri,
                                    auth=(configuration.username, configuration.password))
        all_messages.extend(next_message.json().get('messages'))
        next_page_uri = next_message.json().get('next_page_uri')

    file = open("message_results.json", "w")
    file.write(json.dumps(all_messages))
    file.close()
