Add-on Management API
This guide describes the APIs to retrieve available and installed Add-ons, as well as install specific Add-ons and manage their extension(s). This API complements the Add-on capabilities exposed via the Console to provide programmatic access.
Note: The Add-on Management API only supports Add-ons that are in GA or Beta state. Add-ons that are labeled as Coming Soon or Developer Preview are not accessible via the API and must be managed via the Console.
Note: This API is currently in Developer Preview.
While this API is in Developer Preview, it should be accessed via the following base domain:
https://preview.twilio.com
The API may also be accessed via Next-gen helper libraries.

Installed Add-on Extensions API
An Extension identifies a Twilio product or an integration point in a Twilio product where the Add-on gets invoked. Examples of Extensions include : Record Verb, Dial Verb, Lookup API, Incoming Voice Call, Incoming SMS, etc.
The Installed Add-on Extensions API provides you with the ability to view and configure when an Installed Add-on is invoked.
To allow you to control the roll out of Add-ons by default all Extensions will be disabled. This means you will need to make additional API requests to enable Extensions before they can use the installed Add-on. This will give you the opportunity to first associate an Installed Add-on with an Incoming Phone Number before enabling any Extensions.
The following table lists the currently supported Extensions. Each Add-on typically supports a subset of these Extensions.
| Product Name | Friendly Name | Unique Name |
|---|---|---|
| Lookup | Lookups | lookup-api |
| Programmable SMS | Incoming SMS Message | sms-incoming |
| TaskRouter | Create TaskRouter Tasks | taskrouter-create-task |
| Programmable Voice | Incoming Voice Call | voice-incoming |
| Programmable Voice | Record Verb Recordings | recording-verb |
| Programmable Voice | Outgoing Call (API) Recordings | recording-api |
