How do I integrate Twilio API with my application?

Apideck provides a unified SMS API that makes Twilio integration simple. Sign up for free, enable Twilio in your dashboard, and use our Vault component to let your users connect their Twilio accounts. We handle OAuth authentication, token refresh, and data normalization automatically.

What Twilio data can I access through Apideck?

Our Twilio integration supports 1+ data models including messages. You can perform read and write operations through our unified API, working with the same code structure across all sms platforms.

How does Twilio authentication work with Apideck?

Apideck's Vault handles Twilio authentication completely. Your users connect their Twilio accounts through our secure, white-label UI. We manage OAuth tokens, automatic refresh, and credential storage, so you never have to implement Twilio's auth flow yourself.

How do I keep my app in sync with Twilio?

While Twilio has limited native webhook support, Apideck provides polling-based sync and virtual webhooks to keep your data current. Configure your sync frequency in the dashboard, and we'll handle fetching updates from Twilio.

Why use Apideck instead of Twilio's direct API?

Using Apideck's unified API instead of Twilio's direct API saves significant development time. You get normalized data models, automatic auth handling, and the same integration code works with 200+ other apps. When Twilio updates their API, we handle the changes so your integration keeps working.
