The Ding Python library provides convenient access to the Ding API from applications written in the Python language.
Ding: The OTP API allows you to send authentication codes to your users using their phone numbers.

The SDK can be installed using the pip package manager, with dependencies and metadata stored in the setup.py
file.
pip install ding_api_client
Send an OTP code to a user's phone number.
import ding
from ding.models import components
s = ding.Ding(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
phone_number='+1234567890',
locale='fr-FR',
))
if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
Check that a code entered by a user is valid.
import ding
from ding.models import components
s = ding.Ding(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",

res = s.otp.check(request=components.CreateCheckRequest(
customer_uuid='e0e7b0e9-739d-424b-922f-1c2cb48ab077',
authentication_uuid='8f1196d5-806e-4b71-9b24-5f96ec052808',
check_code='123456',
))
if res.create_check_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
Perform a retry if a user has not received the code.
import ding
s = ding.Ding(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = s.otp.retry()
if res.retry_authentication_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
Send feedback about the authentication process.
import ding
from ding.models import components
s = ding.Ding(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = s.otp.feedback(request=components.FeedbackRequest(
customer_uuid='c0c405fa-6bcb-4094-9430-7d6e2428ff23',
phone_number='+1234567890',
status=components.FeedbackRequestStatus.ONBOARDED,
))
if res.feedback_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
Get the status of an authentication.
import ding
s = ding.Ding(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = s.otp.get_authentication_status(auth_uuid='d8446450-f2fa-4dd9-806b-df5b8c661f23')
if res.authentication_status_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
Perform a phone number lookup.
import ding
s = ding.Ding(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = s.lookup.lookup(phone_number='<value>', customer_uuid='6e93aa15-9177-4d09-8395-b69ce50db1c8')
if res.lookup_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
Available methods

Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or raise an exception.
By default, an API error will raise a errors.SDKError exception, which has the following properties:
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
.status_code |
int | The HTTP status code |
.message |
str | The error message |
.raw_response |
httpx.Response | The raw HTTP response |
.body |
str | The response content |
When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also raise their associated exception. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the create_authentication
method may raise the following exceptions:
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
errors.ErrorResponse | 400 | application/json |
errors.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | */* |
import ding
from ding.models import components, errors
s = ding.Ding(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = None
try:
res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
phone_number='+1234567890',
locale='fr-FR',
))
except errors.ErrorResponse as e:
# handle exception
raise(e)
except errors.SDKError as e:
# handle exception
raise(e)
if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
You can override the default server globally by passing a server index to the server_idx: int
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. The selected server will then be used as the default on the operations that use it. This table lists the indexes associated with the available servers:
# | Server | Variables |
---|---|---|
0 | https://api.ding.live/v1 |
None |
import ding
from ding.models import components
s = ding.Ding(
server_idx=0,
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
phone_number='+1234567890',
locale='fr-FR',
))
if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
The default server can also be overridden globally by passing a URL to the server_url: str
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
import ding
from ding.models import components
s = ding.Ding(
server_url="https://api.ding.live/v1",
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
phone_number='+1234567890',
locale='fr-FR',
))
if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
The Python SDK makes API calls using the requests HTTP library. In order to provide a convenient way to configure timeouts, cookies, proxies, custom headers, and other low-level configuration, you can initialize the SDK client with a custom requests.Session
object.
For example, you could specify a header for every request that this sdk makes as follows:
import ding
import requests
http_client = requests.Session()
http_client.headers.update({'x-custom-header': 'someValue'})
s = ding.Ding(client=http_client)
This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
Name | Type | Scheme |
---|---|---|
api_key |
apiKey | API key |
To authenticate with the API the api_key
parameter must be set when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
import ding
from ding.models import components
s = ding.Ding(
api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)
res = s.otp.create_authentication(request=components.CreateAuthenticationRequest(
customer_uuid='c9f826e0-deca-41ec-871f-ecd6e8efeb46',
phone_number='+1234567890',
locale='fr-FR',
))
if res.create_authentication_response is not None:
# handle response
pass
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Feel free to open a PR or a Github issue as a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release!
