Unable to send MMS in Python

So I can send SMS just fine when I try to send MMS i get an parameter [] is invalid exception

where _img is a link to an img file. Can't seem to find any documentation on this at all...

params = {'from': {'phoneNumber' : number}, 'to':[{'phoneNumber' : toNumber }], 'text' : message}, _img
resp = platform.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/sms', params)

Even your snippet code is broken so I don't know what is the exact parameter syntax do you use.

Anyway, here is the sample code for sending MMS using Python.

Thanks Phong!

It's unusual that you say it's broken, It works for me, maybe because it's incomplete?

I meant it is incorrect/incomplete.

params = {'from': {'phoneNumber' : number}, 'to':[{'phoneNumber' : toNumber }], 'text' : message}, _img
resp = platform.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/sms', params)

The _img?

Anyway, I tried your code, I get 'attachement is not defined at builder.add(attachment)?

Is the image file located under the same folder?
