Info

You can control your connectivity to 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 Germany can make use of the frankfurt edge location by using the base URL of:

https://notify.frankfurt.us1.twilio.com/v1

Notify is supported by all our server-side helper libraries.


To authenticate requests to the Twilio APIs, Twilio supports HTTP Basic authentication(link takes you to an external page). 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(link takes you to an external page).
