It provides a synchronous REST client by default (using requests) and an optional asynchronous client (using aiohttp) for non-blocking operations. The library handles authentication via Account SID and Auth Token, supports region and edge routing for Twilio's global infrastructure, and includes automatic pagination for listing records.\n\nThe package is production-stable, actively maintained, and supports Python 3.7 through 3.13. It depends on requests for synchronous HTTP calls, PyJWT for token handling, and aiohttp/aiohttp-retry for async operations. Developers typically use it to integrate SMS notifications, voice calls, or two-factor authentication into web applications and backend services without managing the underlying telephony infrastructure.","worth_installing":"Yes. Twilio is a mature, actively maintained library with low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, a permissive MIT license, and broad Python version support. Install it if you need to integrate SMS, voice calls, or other Twilio services into a Python application. The only prerequisite is a valid Twilio account and credentials."},"id":"twilio","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/twilio","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/twilio.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/twilio/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"twilio","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Twilio API client and TwiML generator"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":20413006,"position":1039,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"9.11.0"}
