Documentation for Python usage of the Authy API lives in the official Twilio documentation.
The Authy API supports multiple channels of 2FA:
- One-time passwords via SMS and voice.
- Soft token (TOTP via the Authy App)
- Push authentication via the Authy App
If you only need SMS and Voice support for one-time passwords, we recommend using the Twilio Verify API instead.
More on how to choose between Authy and Verify here.
For a full tutorial, check out either of the Python Authy Quickstarts in our docs:
Install with pip:
$ pip install authy OR
Download the source code and run the following command from your terminal:
$ python setup.py install Note that you may need admin permissions to run the above commands.
To use the Authy client, import AuthyApiClient and initialize it with your production API Key found in the Twilio Console:
from authy.api import AuthyApiClient authy_api = AuthyApiClient('your_api_key')
OR
Phone verification now lives in the Twilio API and has Python support through the official Twilio helper libraries.
Legacy (V1) documentation here. Verify V1 is not recommended for new development. Please consider using Verify V2.
Twilio is discontinuing the Authy API’s Sandbox, a feature that allows customers to run continuous integration tests against a mock Authy API for free. The Sandbox is no longer being maintained, so we will be taking the final deprecation step of shutting it down on September 30, 2021. The rest of the Authy API product will continue working as-is.
This repo previously used the sandbox API as part of the test suite, but that has been since removed.
You will only be affected if you are using the sandbox API in your own application or test suite.
For more information please read this article on how we are discontinuing the Twilio Authy sandbox API.
