The documentation for the Twilio API can be found here.
The Java library documentation can be found here.
twilio-java uses a modified version of Semantic Versioning for all changes. See this document for details.
New accounts and subaccounts are now required to use TLS 1.2 when accessing the REST API. "Upgrade Required" errors indicate that TLS 1.0/1.1 is being used.
This library supports the following Java implementations:
- OpenJDK 7
- OpenJDK 8
- OpenJDK 11
- OracleJDK 7
- OracleJDK 8
- OracleJDK 11
twilio-java uses Maven. At present the jars are available from a public maven repository.
Use the following dependency in your project to grab via Maven:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.twilio.sdk</groupId>
<artifactId>twilio</artifactId>
<version>7.X.X</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
or Gradle:
implementation "com.twilio.sdk:twilio:7.X.X"If you want to compile it yourself, here's how:
$ git clone git@github.com:twilio/twilio-java
$ cd twilio-java
$ mvn install # Requires maven, download from https://maven.apache.org/download.html
If you want to build your own .jar, execute the following from within the cloned directory:
$ mvn package
If you run into trouble with local tests, use:
$ mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
// Find your Account SID and Auth Token at twilio.com/console
// DANGER! This is insecure. See http://twil.io/secure
String accountSid = "ACXXXXXX";
String authToken = "XXXXXXXX";
Twilio.init(accountSid, authToken);Message message = Message.creator(
new PhoneNumber("+15558881234"), // To number
new PhoneNumber("+15559994321"), // From number
"Hello world!" // SMS body
).create();
System.out.println(message.getSid());Call call = Call.creator(
new PhoneNumber("+15558881234"), // To number
new PhoneNumber("+15559994321"), // From number
// Read TwiML at this URL when a call connects (hold music)
new URI("http://twimlets.com/holdmusic?Bucket=com.twilio.music.ambient")
).create();
System.out.println(call.getSid());import com.twilio.exception.ApiException;
try {
Message message = Message.creator(
new PhoneNumber("+15558881234"), // To number
new PhoneNumber("+15559994321"), // From number
"Hello world!" // SMS body
).create();
System.out.println(message.getSid());
} catch (final ApiException e) {
System.err.println(e);
}TwilioRestClient client = new TwilioRestClient.Builder(accountSid, authToken).build();
Message message = Message.creator(
new PhoneNumber("+15558881234"), // To number
new PhoneNumber("+15559994321"), // From number
"Hello world!" // SMS body
).create(client); // Pass the client here
System.out.println(message.getSid());To control phone calls, your application needs to output TwiML.
TwiML in twilio-java now use the builder pattern!
TwiML twiml = new VoiceResponse.Builder()
.say(new Say.Builder("Hello World!").build())
.play(new Play.Builder("https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3").loop(5).build())
.build();That will output XML that looks like this:
<Response>
<Say>Hello World!</Say>
<Play loop="5">https://api.twilio.com/cowbell.mp3</Play>
</Response>
The Dockerfile present in this repository and its respective twilio/twilio-java Docker image are currently used by Twilio for testing purposes only.
