Twilio Getting Started

If you don't have pip installed already, do:

Code: Select all

sudo easy_install pip

Install the Twilio library:

Code: Select all

sudo pip install twilio

Set up a Twilio account:

1. Go to https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio
2. Fill out form. I don't think it really matters what you pick in the menus.
3. You need to provide a phone number that can receive SMS messages. Enter the verification code you get.
4. When you get to the Console, click on the home icon at the top left.
5. Record the SID and Token from this screen.
6. Scroll down to the "# Phone Numbers" section, click on it.
7. Click on "Get Started"
8. Click on "Get your first Twilio phone number"
9. Pick a number. By default, I think it gives you numbers near the number you used to verify your account. Make sure you get one that has SMS, MMS, and Voice capability.
10. Record that number. This number will be yours as long as you want it, but you're limited in what you can do with it as long as your account is a Trial account.

Now that you have an SID, Token, and Twilio number, you can configure the plugin and create a Twilio device. You create one device for each Twilio number assigned to your account. Most users will only have one number, but more is certainly possible (and not very expensive).

I have gone through all the posts (I think) and am still getting the following when I try to start the plugin:

Reloading plugin "Twilio 7.0.0"
Starting plugin "Twilio 7.0.0" (pid 1951)
Twilio Error Error in plugin execution InitializeMain:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plugin.py", line 11, in <module>
ImportError: No module named twilio.rest

Stopping plugin "Twilio 7.0.0" (pid 1951)
Stopped plugin "Twilio 7.0.0"

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you're getting that error, you do not have the twilio package installed properly. Make sure it's installed for Python 2.7, not Python 2.6.

That was it... Thanks for the quick response.

Hi
I had Twilio running on Indigo 6 for awhile now then i migrated the Indigo 6 over to a newer mac running Yosemite. then i upgraded to Indigo 7.0.2
My error is this, It looks like there is a newer plugin for Twilio 7 and somewhere in the forum i guess i need to use Python 2.7. verse 2.6 i used on Indigo 6
i just did the upgrade yesterday, Is there a link for the newer Twilio plugin? I did see the (Built in update mechanism) mentioned on the forum but not
familiar with that.

Starting plugin "Twilio 0.0.5" (pid 2067)
Twilio Error Error in plugin execution InitializeMain:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plugin.py", line 10, in <module>
ImportError: No module named twilio.rest

You need to install the twilio library for Python 2.7. The command to do that should be "sudo pip2.7 install twilio".

Then just look in the plugins menu for the "upgrade" entry. It's below the Enable/Disable command.

Hi

I tried the command "Sudo pip2.7 install twilio" but had a error, then i did Sudo python --version which showed i had Python 2.7.10 no my mac
so it looked like i needed to install pip.py after trying "sudo python get-pip.py" after that was done i did the "Sudo pip install twillo"
then it said it successfully installed httplib2-0.9.2 twilio-5.6.0. Then i went back in Indigo i reloaded the plugin and saw the upgrade entry
and upgraded to v7.0 everything seems to be working as it did before. Not sure if i typed somthing wrong. What a great plugin.
I thank you for your effort in creating and supporting this. Is there any issues with this plugin IF i upgrade to Sierra?

I can't think of any reason why you would have problems with Sierra. I don't have Sierra on my main Indigo machine, but I do on my iMac where I do all my plugin development.

Had to reinstall OS due to Thunderstorm Power outage. I did a restore of the Indigo (v7) database and everything seemed to come back fine with the exception of Twilio Plugin. Below is the error I am getting:

Twilio Error Error in plugin execution InitializeMain:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plugin.py", line 11, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name TwilioRestClient

I have tried to delete and reinstall the plugin but get same message.

Thanks in advance

You need to install the Twilio library per post #1 in this thread.

Thanks- I believe have already done that. Here is what I get when I run: sudo pip install twilio:

Requirement already satisfied: twilio in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied: six in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python (from twilio)
Requirement already satisfied: PyJWT>=1.4.2 in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (from twilio)
Requirement already satisfied: requests>=2.0.0 in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (from twilio)
Requirement already satisfied: pysocks in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (from twilio)
Requirement already satisfied: pytz in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python (from twilio)

What OS are you running?

What do you get from this command?

Code: Select all

 sudo pip show twilio

Nevermind. I see what's going on. The Twilio API library has been updated to a new version since I wrote the plugin, and the new version is not quite compatible.

For now, try this:

Code: Select all

sudo pip uninstall twilio
sudo pip install twilio==5.4.0


That was it, Thanks for the quick response. She's working perfectly now!
