ExTwilio v0.2.1 ExTwilio.Api

Provides a basic HTTP interface to allow easy communication with the Twilio API, by wrapping HTTPotion.

Examples

Requests are made to the Twilio API by passing in a resource module into one of this Api module's functions. The correct URL to the resource is inferred from the module name.

ExTwilio.Api.find(Resource, "sid")
%Resource{ sid: "sid", ... }

Items are returned as instances of the given module's struct. For more details, see the documentation for each function.

Specs

Create a new resource in the Twilio API with a POST request.

Examples

ExTwilio.Api.create(ExTwilio.Call, [to: "1112223333", from: "4445556666"])
{:ok, %Call{ ... }}

ExTwilio.Api.create(ExTwilio.Call, [])
{:error, "No 'To' number is specified", 400}
delete(url, headers \\ [], options \\ [])

Specs

delete(binary, headers, Keyword.t) ::
  {:ok, HTTPoison.Response.t | HTTPoison.AsyncResponse.t} |
  {:error, HTTPoison.Error.t}

Issues a DELETE request to the given url.

Returns {:ok, response} if the request is successful, {:error, reason} otherwise.

See request/5 for more detailed information.

delete!(url, headers \\ [], options \\ [])

Specs

delete!(binary, headers, Keyword.t) ::
  HTTPoison.Response.t |
  HTTPoison.AsyncResponse.t

Issues a DELETE request to the given url, raising an exception in case of failure.

destroy(module, sid, options \\ [])

Destroy an existing resource in the Twilio Api.

Examples

find(module, sid, options \\ [])

Specs

Find a given resource in the Twilio API by its SID.

Examples

If the resource was found, find/2 will return a two-element tuple in this format, {:ok, item}.

This function is usually used indirectly by get/3, post/4, put/4, etc

Args: * method - HTTP method as an atom (:get, :head, :post, :put, :delete, etc.) * url - target url as a binary string or char list * body - request body. See more below * headers - HTTP headers as an orddict (e.g., [{"Accept", "application/json"}]) * options - Keyword list of options

Body: * binary, char list or an iolist * {:form, [{K, V}, ...]} - send a form url encoded * {:file, "/path/to/file"} - send a file

Options: * :timeout - timeout to establish a connection, in milliseconds. Default is 8000 * :recv_timeout - timeout used when receiving a connection. Default is 5000 * :stream_to - a PID to stream the response to * :proxy - a proxy to be used for the request; it can be a regular url or a {Host, Proxy} tuple * :proxy_auth - proxy authentication {User, Password} tuple * :ssl - SSL options supported by the ssl erlang module * :follow_redirect - a boolean that causes redirects to be followed * :max_redirect - an integer denoting the maximum number of redirects to follow * :params - an enumerable consisting of two-item tuples that will be appended to the url as query string parameters

Timeouts can be an integer or :infinity

This function returns {:ok, response} or {:ok, async_response} if the request is successful, {:error, reason} otherwise.

Examples

request(:post, "https://my.website.com", "{\"foo\": 3}", [{"Accept", "application/json"}])
request!(method, url, body \\ "", headers \\ [], options \\ [])

Specs

request!(atom, binary, body, headers, Keyword.t) :: HTTPoison.Response.t

Issues an HTTP request with the given method to the given url, raising an exception in case of failure.

request!/5 works exactly like request/5 but it returns just the response in case of a successful request, raising an exception in case the request fails.

start()
