This module offers a simple client to the CallMeBot service to send Whatsapp, Telegram and Signal text messages.

Install with pip3 install callmebot.

1. You should first configure CallMeBot as explained at https://www.callmebot.com/

2. You should then configure your keys. There are two ways to do it:

   • Store them in the ~/.secrets/secrets.yml file in a callmebot entry for the text services you wish to use:

     callmebot:
         whatsapp_phone: '555123123123'
         whatsapp_apikey: '999999'
         signal_phone: '555123123123'
         signal_apikey: '999999'
         telegram_username: 'username'
     

   • Set environment variables for the text services you wish to use:

     export CALLMEBOT_WHATSAPP_PHONE='555123123123'
     export CALLMEBOT_WHATSAPP_APIKEY='999999'
     export CALLMEBOT_SIGNAL_PHONE='555123123123'
     export CALLMEBOT_SIGNAL_APIKEY='999999'
     export CALLMEBOT_TELEGRAM_USERNAME='username'

   The tool uses the ~/.secrets/secrets.yml file first and the environment variables as fallback. If you do not configure some text service, you cannot use it.

3. Call the desired function (whatsapp, signal, telegram|) with the message to be sent:

   import callmebot
   
   callmebot.whatsapp('This is an important message!\nRegards.')

4. Or, use the callmebot command line:

   callmebot whatsapp 'This is an important message!\nRegards.'

   Get help with --help:
