The `phaxio` library provides a Python client for interacting with the Phaxio v2 API. As of version 0.3, it offers methods for sending faxes, managing webhooks, and more. Development appears to be in maintenance mode, with the last major commit in 2018.

phaxio

✓ import phaxio

✗ from phaxio import PhaxioClient

The phaxio library uses module-level attribute assignment for API keys/secrets and exposes functionality directly via sub-modules (e.g., `phaxio.faxes`), rather than requiring an explicit client instance.

Initializes the Phaxio client using API key and secret, then attempts to list faxes to verify connectivity. Replace placeholders or set environment variables `PHAXIO_API_KEY` and `PHAXIO_API_SECRET`.

import os import phaxio # Authenticate using environment variables phaxio.api_key = os.environ.get("PHAXIO_API_KEY", "YOUR_API_KEY") phaxio.api_secret = os.environ.get("PHAXIO_API_SECRET", "YOUR_API_SECRET") # Example: List existing faxes (requires authentication and API access) try: # Fetch one fax to verify connection and credentials faxes = phaxio.faxes.list(per_page=1) print(f"Successfully connected to Phaxio API. Found {len(faxes)} fax entries.") # Uncomment to see the first fax details if available # if faxes: print(f"First fax: {faxes[0]}") except phaxio.exceptions.PhaxioException as e: print(f"Error connecting to Phaxio API or listing faxes: {e}") print("Please ensure PHAXIO_API_KEY and PHAXIO_API_SECRET environment variables are set correctly and have necessary permissions.") except Exception as e: print(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThis library is designed for Phaxio API v2. Using Phaxio API v1 keys or endpoints will result in authentication failures or unexpected behavior.

fix

Ensure you are using valid Phaxio v2 API Key and Secret generated from your Phaxio dashboard.

affects: 0.3

gotchaThe library sets API keys and secrets as global module-level attributes (`phaxio.api_key`, `phaxio.api_secret`). This can cause issues in multi-threaded applications or when managing multiple Phaxio accounts within a single process.

fix

For simple scripts, this is acceptable. For complex applications, consider using a wrapper or ensuring authentication is handled carefully for each thread/request, or use separate processes.

affects: 0.3

gotchaThe library has not been actively developed since 2018 (version 0.3). While it targets Phaxio API v2 and may still function, it might not support the latest API features or bug fixes from Phaxio's service updates.

fix

Verify that the library's functionality meets your current Phaxio API requirements. If new features are needed, you may need to implement direct API calls or find an alternative client.

affects: 0.3

Errors

Common errors & fixes

phaxio.exceptions.PhaxioException: (401) Unauthorized

Incorrect Phaxio API Key or Secret, or using v1 credentials with this v2 client.

fix

Double-check your `PHAXIO_API_KEY` and `PHAXIO_API_SECRET` environment variables or hardcoded values. Ensure they are valid Phaxio v2 API credentials.

AttributeError: module 'phaxio' has no attribute 'faxes'

The `phaxio` module attributes for API keys/secrets were not set, or the module was not properly imported before attempting to use its sub-modules.

fix

Ensure `import phaxio` is present and that `phaxio.api_key` and `phaxio.api_secret` are assigned values before calling methods like `phaxio.faxes.list()`.

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response'))

Network connectivity issue, firewall blocking access, or temporary unavailability of the Phaxio API server.

fix

Check your internet connection and local firewall settings. Verify Phaxio's service status page for any outages. Try the request again after a short delay.
