The Conversations API Overview
The Conversations API allows you to create conversational (back-and-forth) messaging across multiple channels: Chat, WhatsApp, and SMS.
All URLs in the reference documentation use the following base URL:
1https://conversations.twilio.com/v12
Info
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/v1
To authenticate requests to the Twilio APIs, Twilio supports HTTP Basic authentication. Use your API key as the username and your API key's secret as the password. You can create an API key either in the Twilio Console or using the API.
Note: Twilio doesn't recommend using your Account SID and Auth Token in production. For local testing, you can use your Account SID as the username and your Auth token as the password. You can find your Account SID and Auth Token in the Twilio Console.
