Sent SDKs
Build messaging into your application in minutes. The official Sent SDKs provide idiomatic, type-safe clients for every major language — with automatic retries, webhook signature verification, and intelligent error handling built in.
New to Sent? Start with the Quickstart Guide to set up your account and send your first message.
Prerequisites
Before using any SDK, you'll need:
- A Sent account - Sign up at app.sent.dm
- An API key - Get yours from the Sent Dashboard
- A template - Create a message template in the dashboard (WhatsApp templates require approval)
Environment Variable: All SDKs use SENT_DM_API_KEY for authentication. Set this in your environment before running your application.
Why Use the SDKs?
Type Safety
Full type definitions for TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, C#, PHP, and Ruby. Catch errors at compile time.
Smart Retries
Automatic exponential backoff for rate limits and transient failures. Configurable retry policies.
Webhook Security
Built-in signature verification to ensure webhook events are authentic and untampered.
Zero Dependencies
Most SDKs have zero external dependencies. Just install and start sending messages.
Official SDKs
TypeScript / Node.js
Modern TypeScript with ESM/CJS support. Perfect for Next.js, Express, and serverless.
Python
Pythonic client with Django, FastAPI, and Flask integration. Async support included.
Go
Lightweight, fast, and context-aware. Zero external dependencies.
Java
Enterprise-grade client with Spring Boot auto-configuration.
C# / .NET
Native async/await with full ASP.NET Core integration.
PHP
Laravel and Symfony support with elegant syntax.
Ruby
Ruby-idiomatic with Rails integration and ActiveJob support.
Quick Comparison
See how simple it is to send a message in each language:
import SentDm from '@sentdm/sentdm';
const client = new SentDm(); // Uses SENT_DM_API_KEY env var
const response = await client.messages.send({
to: ['+1234567890'],
template: {
id: 'your-template-id',
name: 'welcome'
},
// testMode: true, // Uncomment to test without sending
});
console.log(`Sent: ${response.data.messages[0].id}`);from sent_dm import SentDm
client = SentDm() # Uses SENT_DM_API_KEY env var
response = client.messages.send(
to=["+1234567890"],
template={
"id": "your-template-id",
"name": "welcome"
},
# test_mode=True, # Uncomment to test without sending
)
print(f"Sent: {response.data.messages[0].id}")import (
"github.com/sentdm/sent-dm-go"
"github.com/sentdm/sent-dm-go/option"
)
client := sentdm.NewClient() // Uses SENT_DM_API_KEY env var
err := client.Messages.Send(ctx, sentdm.MessageSendParams{
To: []string{"+1234567890"},
Template: sentdm.MessageSendParamsTemplate{
ID: sentdm.String("your-template-id"),
},
// TestMode: sentdm.Bool(true), // Uncomment to test without sending
})import dm.sent.client.SentDmClient;
import dm.sent.client.okhttp.SentDmOkHttpClient;
import dm.sent.models.messages.MessageSendParams;
SentDmClient client = SentDmOkHttpClient.fromEnv();
MessageSendParams params = MessageSendParams.builder()
.addTo("+1234567890")
.template(MessageSendParams.Template.builder()
.id("your-template-id")
.build())
// .testMode(true) // Uncomment to test without sending
.build();
var response = client.messages().send(params);
System.out.println("Sent: " + response.data().messages().get(0).id());using Sentdm;
SentDmClient client = new(); // Uses SENT_DM_API_KEY env var
var response = await client.Messages.SendAsync(new MessageSendParams
{
To = new List<string> { "+1234567890" },
Template = new MessageSendParamsTemplate
{
ID = "your-template-id"
},
// TestMode = true, // Uncomment to test without sending
});
Console.WriteLine($"Sent: {response.Data.Messages[0].Id}");use SentDM\Client;
$client = new Client($_ENV['SENT_DM_API_KEY']);
$response = $client->messages->send(
to: ['+1234567890'],
template: [
'id' => 'your-template-id',
'name' => 'welcome'
],
// testMode: true, // Uncomment to test without sending
);
echo "Sent: {$response->data->messages[0]->id}\n";require "sentdm"
sent_dm = Sentdm::Client.new # Uses SENT_DM_API_KEY env var
response = sent_dm.messages.send(
to: ['+1234567890'],
template: {
id: 'your-template-id',
name: 'welcome'
},
# test_mode: true, # Uncomment to test without sending
)
puts "Sent: #{response.data.messages[0].id}"Note: Each SDK follows its language's conventions. Method names, parameter styles, and error handling vary by language. See the individual SDK pages for detailed documentation.
Testing: Use test_mode: true (or test_mode=True in Python) in development to validate requests without sending real messages. The API will validate your request but not actually send any messages.
