Python script to blacklist a Caller ID to VoIP.ms. This script uses the voipms to wrap around the VoIP.ms REST API. Has an easily-usable command line to send a Caller ID to VoIP.ms filtering list.
When I receive a telemarketer or unwanted call to one of my phone lines, I want to be able to quickly add that number to a list of spam. Next time the caller tries to reach me, it will be hung up automatically. Or, you could set different actions such as busy tone, no service message, or even a message that the number is disconnected.
- Python (tested with 3.7)
- VoIP.ms account with API enabled
To install voipms with pip, run: pip install voipms
Enable API support in your VoIP.ms account. Click on Enable API, enter a password, and restrict to a static IP or open to all (0.0.0.0).
You will need this password and the user account (e.g. email address registered) to allow the script to make RESTful API calls and blacklist the Caller ID.
Using a separate configuration file called settings.py containing:
user='<voip.ms username>'
key='<voip.ms key generated>'The credentials are imported from the main file using:
import settingsRun the script from the command line as follows:
python3.7 callerFilter.py NPANXXXXXXX "all" "hangup" "Spam (API)"- Automate using AppleScript + Mail to trigger the script.
- Or integrate with Apple's Shortcut app
