The Conversations API Overview
The Conversations API allows you to create conversational (back-and-forth) messaging across multiple channels: Chat, WhatsApp, and SMS.
API Base URL
All URLs in the reference documentation use the following base URL:
https://conversations.twilio.com/v1
You can control your connectivity into Twilio’s platform by including your specific edge location in the subdomain. This will allow you to bring Twilio’s public or private network connectivity closer to your applications for improved performance.
For instance customers with infrastructure in Australia can make use of the sydney edge location by using the base url of:
https://conversations.sydney.us1.twilio.com/v1Authentication
This API uses HTTP Basic Authentication for authentication. Pass your Account SID as the username and Auth Token as the password (find them in the console).
Resources

A Conversation has the following sub-resources:
The Conversation Webhook resource covers webhook configurations for all Conversations.
