Marketplace API overview for publishers
The Marketplace API provides resources for users to browse, install, and manage Listings. Listing Partners can use Marketplace API resources to retrieve and update Listings, and to manually report customer usage.
All relative URLs in the Marketplace API reference documentation use the following base URL:
https://marketplace.twilio.com/v1
The API is served over HTTPS. To ensure data privacy, unencrypted HTTP isn't supported. All responses are in JSON format.
To authenticate requests to the Twilio APIs, Twilio supports HTTP Basic authentication. Use your API key as the username and your API key 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.
