OAuth for Twilio APIs is now in GA
Twilio Communications APIs now support OAuth 2.0. Upgrading to OAuth 2.0 makes your applications more secure than using traditional API keys or Auth tokens. Here is why:
- Short-lived tokens: OAuth 2.0 generates short-lived access tokens instead of static, long-lasting credentials.
- Scoped access: Each token only works with the specific APIs it was issued for, so a compromised token doesn't expose everything.
We support client credentials grant type of OAuth 2.0 as defined in RFC 6749, section 4.4. You can use the Twilio Console to create OAuth apps and generate OAuth credentials.
