Getting started with the Twilio API couldn't be easier. Create a Client
and you're ready to go.
The Twilio
needs your Twilio credentials. You can either pass these directly to the constructor (see the code below) or via environment variables.
from twilio.rest import Client account = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" token = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" client = Client(account, token)
Alternately, a Client
constructor without these parameters will look for TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID
and TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN
variables inside the current environment.
We suggest storing your credentials as environment variables. Why? You'll never have to worry about committing your credentials and accidentally posting them somewhere public.
from twilio.rest import Client client = Client()
from twilio.rest import Client account = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" token = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" client = Client(account, token) call = client.calls.create(to="9991231234", from_="9991231234", url="http://twimlets.com/holdmusic?Bucket=com.twilio.music.ambient") print(call.sid)
from twilio.rest import Client account = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" token = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" client = Client(account, token) message = client.messages.create(to="+12316851234", from_="+15555555555", body="Hello there!")Handling a call using TwiML
To control phone calls, your application needs to output TwiML. Use twilio.twiml.Response
to easily create such responses.
from twilio.twilio.voice_response import VoiceResponse r = VoiceResponse() r.say("Welcome to twilio!") print(str(r))
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Response><Say>Welcome to twilio!</Say></Response>
