Welcome to Twillo API Documentation.
Twilio Inc. is an American cloud communications company based in San Francisco, California. It provides programmable communication tools for making and receiving phone calls, sending and receiving text messages, and performing other communication functions using its web service APIs.
The Twilio REST API allows you to query metadata about your account, phone numbers, calls, text messages, and recordings. You can also do some fancy things like initiate outbound calls and send text messages.
This documentation covers the following:
- The Accounts section offers guidance on how to pick the right account architecture.
- API Keys are the best way to authenticate API requests.
- Credentials allow for Public Keys management. Products like Public Key Client Validation and Voice Recordings Encryption rely on those Credentials.
- Address section offer how to access users' physical location within a country
- Phone Number give you instant access to local, national, mobile, and toll-free phone numbers in over 100 countries for your voice call and messaging applications.
- Public Key Client Validation helps organizations in compliance-heavy industries meet strict security requirements, such as not relying on shared secrets, validating the sender, or verifying message content.
- Single Sign-On mitigates compliance and security risks for organizations by giving businesses control over user authentication and user revocation via corporate mandated tools.
- Twilio Connect allows you to obtain authorization to perform API functions on behalf of another Twilio account holder.
