twilio-stubs
Type declarations for the Twilio API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. The package is abandoned (last update 2023-02-15) and likely out of sync with current Twilio SDK versions. Before installing, check whether Twilio now provides official type stubs or whether the Twilio SDK itself includes type hints. If neither is true and you need type coverage, consider using a type: ignore comment as a temporary workaround.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires a separate type checker like mypy; stubs may not align with your installed Twilio SDK version due to lack of maintenance.
- High install friction combined with abandoned maintenance status.
- Last release was 2023-02-15 with no commits since then.

What it is and what it does
twilio-stubs is a type stub package that adds static type information to the Twilio Python SDK. Type stubs are supplementary files that tell type checkers what types to expect from Twilio's API, allowing you to catch type errors before runtime without needing Twilio itself to ship with built-in type hints.
The package has no runtime dependencies and is used purely as a development tool. However, it is in abandoned maintenance: the last release was 2023-02-15, and the repository shows minimal activity. This means the stubs may lag behind current Twilio SDK releases, potentially leaving newer API methods and classes without type coverage.
Use it for
- Add type checking to a codebase using Twilio without waiting for Twilio to add native type hints.
- Catch Twilio API usage errors during development before deploying to production.
- Improve IDE autocomplete and inline documentation for Twilio methods in editors that support type stubs.
- Validate function signatures when wrapping or mocking Twilio calls in test suites.
