The Sync REST API


The Sync REST API allows you to control your Sync applications from backend servers in much the same way you can from the client. You can create, update and manage your documents, lists and maps using these resources.


API Base URL

api-base-url page anchor

All URLs in the reference documentation use the following base URL:

https://sync.twilio.com/v1

All requests to the Sync REST API are served over HTTPS. Unencrypted HTTP is not supported.


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 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).
