HackNotify

An SMS notification system built for HackNC

This project leverages the following APIs:

  • Google Sheets
  • Plivo, Bandwidth SDK, or Twilio

Installation

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A google account with access to a correctly formatted google sheet.
  • API Credit with a Bandwidth.com, Plivo, or Twilio account. (Bandwidth recommended)

Google API setup

This step is necessary because each account must enable google sheets api.

Visit https://developers.google.com/sheets/quickstart/python and follow Step 1.

Instead of putting client_secret.json in your development directory, do this:

mkdir ~/.credentials
mv /path/to/client_secret_download.json ~/.credentials/client_secret.json

Python Install

git clone [email protected]:hacknc/hacknotify
cd hacknotify

Create a copy of config-example.py called config.py and get the necessary information and API keys from your chosen service.

pip3 install -e .

You're done!

Running the client

usage: hacknotify [-h] [--group GROUP] [--subject SUBJECT] [--message MESSAGE]

Examples:

Fully automate send:

echo "y" | hacknotify --message "This was a triumph" --subject [TEST] --group hackers

Automate input, but allow interactive confirm:

hacknotify -m "I'm making a note here - Huge success" -s [TEST] -g hackers

Do it all from a python interpreter:

>>> from hacknotify import notify
>>> group = notify.get_group("group_name")
>>> notify.do_send(group, "[TEST2]", "SPAAAAACE")
True

Example console output:
