[Q] Is is possible to programmatically register an SMS sender ID

[AbdBarho]

Hello, I am using the following code to send an sms, numbers masked for privacy reasons

const client = sipgateIO({ tokenId, token });

createSMSModule(client).send({
    // this number is assigned to my account from employer:
    from: '+49157XXXXXXXX',

    message: 'Test SMS',
    to: 'some other number',
  })

I am getting the following error

Error: Number is not registered as a sender ID in your account

Why do I have to register the sender ID if the mobile number is already assigned to my account?

I can register the number on the Website if I try to send an sms manually, but is it possible to achieve this programmatically?

Looking at the API specs:
https://api.sipgate.com/v2/doc#/sms
it seems that this should be possible, however, it was unclear to me how to achieve this with sipgate-node library.

The sms module only exports these two functions

export interface SMSModule {
    send: (sms: ShortMessage, sendAt?: Date) => Promise<void>;
    getSmsExtensions: (webuserId: string) => Promise<SmsExtension[]>;
}

Do I have to do requests to the API directly without the client?

I suppose I would need to do a request for verification to the number, get the verification code from the sms of the number, and then do a post to verify?

Thank you.

After some more tearing a part in the internals of this library, this is the progress I was able to make:

import { getSmsCallerIds, getUserSmsExtension } from 'sipgateio/dist/sms/sms.js'

const userId = await client.getAuthenticatedWebuserId();
const extension = await getUserSmsExtension(client, userId);
const callerIDs = await getSmsCallerIds(client, userId, extension);
console.log({extension, callerIDs});

which results in

{
  extension: 's70',
  callerIDs: [
    {
      id: 0,
      phonenumber: 'sipgate',
      verified: true,
      defaultNumber: true
    }
  ]
}

This explains why the example on the sipgate io page did not work, because the extension is not 's0' (see #18).

There does not seem to be any code that does the registration / validation of the caller ID.

The documentation of the API spec does not state anywhere how to authorize if doing HTTP request manually, it is just basic auth:

fetch('https://api.sipgate.com/v2/....', {
  headers: {
        Authorization: `Basic ${Buffer.from(`${tokenId}:${token}`).toString('base64')}}`,
      Accept: 'application/json',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
})
