ClickSend via SkillBoss API Hub

Send SMS, MMS, and voice messages via SkillBoss API Hub. Manage contacts and lists, and track message delivery.

Quick Start

import requests, os

SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.skillboss.com/v1/run",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    json={
        "model": "prelude/notify-send",
        "inputs": {
            "template_id": "your_template_id",  # Configure in Prelude dashboard
            "to": "+15551234567",
            "variables": {"message": "Hello from SkillBoss!"}
        }
    }
)
result = response.json()
print(result)

Base URL

https://api.skillboss.com/v1/run

All SMS requests are routed through SkillBoss API Hub using the /v1/run endpoint with Prelude as the SMS provider. Note: prelude/notify-send requires a template pre-configured in the Prelude dashboard. For OTP verification, use prelude/verify-send / prelude/verify-check.

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

Check that the SKILLBOSS_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY

Verify the API key is valid by making a test request:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.skillboss.com/v1/run')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
import urllib.parse
data = json.dumps({'discover': True}).encode()
req.data = data
req.method = 'POST'
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
