[PYTHON] I tried sending an SMS with Twilio
Prerequisites / Limits
- Requires Twilio phone number to send SMS (purchase required)
- Trial account can only send SMS to approved phone numbers
Get a phone number
From the Phone Numbers page, click ** Buy Phone Numbers ** to go to the purchase page.
You need a ** US phone number ** to send an SMS.
Select a purpose and search for a phone number.
A list of phone numbers and capabilities will be displayed, so purchase an appropriate one. The amount is about $ 1 to $ 2. For some reason, you can purchase with a trial account without registering a card. Strange.
Send SMS
Once you have the phone number, send an SMS. Fill in the form with API Explorer and click ** Issue Request ** at the bottom of the screen. Click to send.
To send programmatically, get the SID and AuthToken from the account settings page and send them using Support Library on github. The credentials are like this.
Copy and use the sample code presented in API Explorer.
from twilio.rest import TwilioRestClient
# put your own credentials here
ACCOUNT_SID = "[SID]"
AUTH_TOKEN = "[AuthToken]"
client = TwilioRestClient(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN)
client.messages.create(
to="12345678",
from_="87654321",
body="hello! it's a twilio!",
)
At the time of success
If the request is successful, twilio.rest.resources.messages.Message will be returned. result.status seems to be queue.
At the time of failure
If the request fails, TwilioRestException is thrown. Useful because the error message has a detailed reason.
TwilioRestException:
HTTP Error Your request was:
POST https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/Messages.json
Twilio returned the following information:
