Add-on Management API
This guide describes the APIs you can use to retrieve available and installed Add-ons. You can also use it to install specific Add-ons, and to manage any extensions they have. This API complements the Add-on capabilities exposed in the Console.
This API is currently in Developer Preview.
The Add-on Management API only supports Add-ons that are in General Availability (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 in the Console.
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.
The Available Add-ons API
The Available Add-ons API provides detailed descriptions of the Add-ons currently available to be installed by an Account. This API does not allow you to mutate any of the records.

The Installed Add-on Extensions API
An Extension identifies a Twilio product, or an integration point in a Twilio product, where the Add-on is invoked. Examples of Extensions include Record Verb, Dial Verb, the 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 |
| Programmable Voice | Conference Recordings | recording-conference |

The Incoming Phone Number Assigned Add-ons API
The Incoming Phone Number Assigned Add-ons subresource details which Add-ons have been assigned to a given Twilio phone number. Assigning an Add-on to a specific Twilio phone number limits the invocation of that Add-on to Calls or Messages on that particular phone number.
Add-ons enabled for Recordings and TaskRouter do not support phone number assignments.
