Monitor REST API: Alerts
An Alert resource instance represents a single log entry for an error or warning encountered when Twilio makes a webhook request to your server, or when your application makes a request to the REST API.
These can be very useful for debugging purposes, and you can configure new email or webhook notifications using Alarms.
Alert properties
The maximum number of Alert resources you can fetch per request to this API is 10,000.
Unlike other parts of the REST API, the representation of an Alert instance is different from the Alert representations within responses from the list resource. Due to the potentially very large amount of data in an alert, the full HTTP request and response data is only returned in the Alert instance resource representation.

account_sid
