Getting started with the Twilio API couldn't be easier. Create a Twilio REST client to get started. For example, the following code makes a call using the Twilio REST API.
from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient
# To find these visit https://www.twilio.com/user/account
ACCOUNT_SID = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
AUTH_TOKEN = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
client = TwilioRestClient(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN)
call = client.calls.create(to="9991231234", from_="9991231234",
url="http://twimlets.com/holdmusic?Bucket=com.twilio.music.ambient")
print call.length
print call.sidfrom twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient
account = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
token = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
client = TwilioRestClient(account, token)
message = client.sms.messages.create(to="+12316851234",
from_="+15555555555",
body="Hello there!")To control phone calls, your application needs to output TwiML. Use :class:`twilio.twiml.Response` to easily create such responses.
from twilio import twiml
r = twiml.Response()
r.play("https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3", loop=5)
print str(r)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Response>
<Play loop="5">https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3</Play>
<Response>The full power of the Twilio API is at your fingertips. The :ref:`user-guide` explains all the awesome features available to use.
