Assign a number to your SIP trunk with Python
You can manage your Elastic SIP trunks with the API and assign a phone number to your SIP trunk.
In this guide you will learn:
- How to set up your Python application.
- How to assign a phone number
What you need to know before you start
Before you can get started, you need the following already set up:
- Set all Elastic SIP Trunking API configuration settings.
- Python and a familiarity with how to create a new file.
- PIP (package installer for Python) and a familiarity with how to install Python modules.
- A created SIP trunk.
Set up your Python application and install dependencies
We'll be using therequests module to make HTTP requests. Open a command prompt and use the following command to install the requests module:pip install requestsassign-number.py and paste the provided "assign-number.py" code found on this page into the file.This code makes a POST request to the EST API /trunks/{SIP_TRUNK_ID}/phoneNumbers endpoint which assigns the phone number you specified in the phone_number variable.Fill in your parameters
Before you can run the code, you need to update some values so you can connect to your Sinch account. Update the following parameters with your own values:
| Parameter | Your value |
|---|---|
project_id | The project ID to which your SIP trunk belongs. You can find this on your Sinch dashboard. |
sip_trunk_id | The ID of the SIP trunk to which you want to assign the number. |
key | The access key found on your Sinch dashboard. |
secret | The access secret found on your Sinch dashboard. |
phone_number | The phone number you want to add to your SIP trunk. |
Save the file.
Assign your phone number
Now you can execute the code and assign your phone number. Run the following command:
python assign-number.pyIn your console, you should see a success response showing that the phone number was added to the SIP trunk.
