Proxy Public Beta is not available to new customers

Proxy Public Beta is currently closed for new customers. Please consider using Twilio Conversations and Programmable Voice directly if you are building your masking application.

Public Beta for customers already using Proxy

Twilio's Proxy API is currently available as a Public Beta product. Some features are not yet implemented and others may be changed before the product is declared as Generally Available.

Public Beta products are not covered by a Twilio SLA.

Interactions are read-only communications logs of a given Session. Each Interaction represents a single communication.

Interactions are composed of an inbound (to Twilio) and an outbound (from Twilio) leg. Interactions can have both inbound and outbound legs or be "one-sided" (like when creating a Message Interaction resource).

If a user sends an SMS to a proxy number, and Twilio Proxy handles the proxying to the other Participant, you'll have an Interaction with both an inbound SMS and an outbound SMS.

Delete an Interaction resource

DELETE https://proxy.twilio.com/v1/Services/{ServiceSid}/Sessions/{SessionSid}/Interactions/{Sid}

Deleting an Interaction removes it permanently.

(error)

Danger

Any Message or Call records created during this interaction will NOT be deleted automatically. If you want to delete all related Message/Call resources, you must issue direct DELETE requests for the inbound and outbound resources directly. Once you have deleted an interaction, those resource SIDs will not be discoverable via Proxy.
