Furious-Monkey

A free sms api to send api messages to clients, without boundaries or costs. Now using node and python to send plain-text sms messages to a wide range of mobile providers.

Requirements

Python version 2.7.* is required for use

Installation

npm install furious-monkey

Testing

cd lib
username=username password=password to=reciever python furious_monkey_tests.py

Continuing to improve testing measures to ensure the reliability of Furious-Monkey Currently as the complexity of the module is very small, I do not see a need go with automated testing. With the multitude of mobile providers and email services, testing the possible combinations would be futile. So raise an issue you come across, and I will gladly look into it asap.

Examples

var fm = require('furious-monkey');
var opts = {
  subject: 'furious-monkey',
  region: 'us',
  phoneNumber: 1234561234,
  message: 'I'm a mad monkey'
};

fm.sendText(opts,function(info){
	console.log(info);
});

Run with following command

node username=your-email-username passowrd=your-email-password host=email-provider furious-monkey.js

i.e. node username=furious-monkey password=password1234 host=aol furious-monkey.js

Note: Not recommended but host/username/password fields can be provided in options variable otherwise will be gathered from enviroment variables

• Those using Hotmail/Live/iCloud must provide full email address as their username i.e. [email protected]

• Verify with your email provider for daily sending limits
