# Azure Communication Administration Package client library for Python
This package has been deprecated. Please use [azure-communication-identity](https://pypi.org/project/azure-communication-identity/) and [azure-communication-phonenumbers](https://pypi.org/project/azure-communication-phonenumbers/) instead.
The requested features were implemented in the new libraries. See change log for more details.
# Getting started
### Prerequisites
* Python 2.7, or 3.5 or later is required to use this package.
* You must have an [Azure subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/)
### Install the package
Install the Azure Communication Administration client library for Python with [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/):
```bash
pip install azure-communication-administration
```
# Key concepts
## CommunicationIdentityClient
`CommunicationIdentityClient` provides operations for:
- Create/delete identities to be used in Azure Communication Services. Those identities can be used to make use of Azure Communication offerings and can be scoped to have limited abilities through token scopes.
- Create/revoke scoped user access tokens to access services such as chat, calling, sms. Tokens are issued for a valid Azure Communication identity and can be revoked at any time.
## CommunicationPhoneNumberClient
### Initializing Phone Number Client
```python
# You can find your endpoint and access token from your resource in the Azure Portal
import os
from azure.communication.administration import PhoneNumberAdministrationClient
connection_str = os.getenv('AZURE_COMMUNICATION_SERVICE_CONNECTION_STRING')
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
```
### Phone plans overview
Phone plans come in two types; Geographic and Toll-Free. Geographic phone plans are phone plans associated with a location, whose phone numbers' area codes are associated with the area code of a geographic location. Toll-Free phone plans are phone plans not associated location. For example, in the US, toll-free numbers can come with area codes such as 800 or 888.
All geographic phone plans within the same country are grouped into a phone plan group with a Geographic phone number type. All Toll-Free phone plans within the same country are grouped into a phone plan group.
### Searching and Acquiring numbers
Phone numbers search can be search through the search creation API by providing a phone plan id, an area code and quantity of phone numbers. The provided quantity of phone numbers will be reserved for ten minutes. This search of phone numbers can either be cancelled or purchased. If the search is cancelled, then the phone numbers will become available to others. If the search is purchased, then the phone numbers are acquired for the Azure resources.
### Configuring / Assigning numbers
Phone numbers can be assigned to a callback URL via the configure number API. As part of the configuration, you will need an acquired phone number, callback URL and application id.
# Examples
The following section provides several code snippets covering some of the most common Azure Communication Services tasks, including:
[Create/delete Azure Communication Service identities][identitysamples]
[Create/revoke scoped user access tokens][identitysamples]
## Communication Phone number
### Get Countries
```python
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
supported_countries = phone_number_administration_client.list_all_supported_countries()
for supported_country in supported_countries:
print(supported_country)
```
### Get Phone Plan Groups
Phone plan groups come in two types, Geographic and Toll-Free.
```python
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
phone_plan_groups_response = phone_number_administration_client.list_phone_plan_groups(
country_code='<country code>'
)
for phone_plan_group in phone_plan_groups_response:
print(phone_plan_group)
```
### Get Phone Plans
Unlike Toll-Free phone plans, area codes for Geographic Phone Plans are empty. Area codes are found in the Area Codes API.
```python
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
phone_plans_response = phone_number_administration_client.list_phone_plans(
country_code='<country code>',
phone_plan_group_id='<phone plan group id>'
)
for phone_plan in phone_plans_response:
print(phone_plan)
```
### Get Location Options
For Geographic phone plans, you can query the available geographic locations. The locations options are structured like the geographic hierarchy of a country. For example, the US has states and within each state are cities.
```python
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
location_options_response = phone_number_administration_client.get_phone_plan_location_options(
country_code='<country code>',
phone_plan_group_id='<phone plan group id>',
phone_plan_id='<phone plan id>'
)
print(location_options_response)
```
### Get Area Codes
Fetching area codes for geographic phone plans will require the the location options queries set. You must include the chain of geographic locations traversing down the location options object returned by the GetLocationOptions API.
```python
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
all_area_codes = phone_number_administration_client.get_all_area_codes(
location_type="NotRequired",
country_code='<country code>',
phone_plan_id='<phone plan id>'
)
print(all_area_codes)
```
### Create Search
```python
from azure.communication.administration import CreateSearchOptions
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
searchOptions = CreateSearchOptions(
area_code='<area code>',
description="testsearch20200014",
display_name="testsearch20200014",
phone_plan_ids=['<phone plan id>'],
quantity=1
)
search_response = phone_number_administration_client.create_search(
body=searchOptions
)
print(search_response)
```
### Get search by id
```python
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
phone_number_search_response = phone_number_administration_client.get_search_by_id(
search_id='<search id>'
)
print(phone_number_search_response)
```
### Purchase Search
```python
phone_number_administration_client = PhoneNumberAdministrationClient.from_connection_string(connection_str)
phone_number_administration_client.purchase_search(
search_id='<search id to purchase>'
)
```
# Troubleshooting
The Azure Communication Service Identity client will raise exceptions defined in [Azure Core][azure_core].
