I must be the luckiest person alive haha. I just discovered your channel a couple of days ago when I was searching how to make generative art NFTs, and today you drop this video which I need for my senior project! I have to implement this on a Raspberry Pi to send OTP messages for a smart door lock I am working on. Thank You so much for these great videos please keep them coming they are very helpful
00:01 Learn how to send SMS messages using Python and Twilio 01:17 Acquire a free Twilio phone number and send test SMS using a terminal command 02:32 Sending SMS with Python using Twilio 03:50 Using Twilio to send SMS text messages with Python is quick and simple 05:22 Create a main function to send SMS text messages with Python & Twilio 07:00 Setting up environment variables for Twilio account ID and auth token is crucial for security. 08:18 Setting up environment variables and API keys for Twilio in Python. 09:36 Replacing default phone number in Twilio SMS script
Great suggestion! My latest video is on unit testing in Python: studio.czcams.com/users/videoYbpKMIUjvK8/comments I didn't cover CICD (GitHub) integration in that one though - I just wanted to start with the basics of unit testing.
I don't think they work on a 'per day' credit, but instead on a fixed credit. From memory I think you get about 5 USD worth of SMS. In Australia (where I'm from), I think each message costs $0.05, so that's about 100 free messages in the trial. Not a lot --- but SMS are expensive!
Yup - just naively, you can probably use that same code in a loop or a map for all the different numbers you want to send to (N number of API calls). Also, it might be worth checking if Twilio has a way to send a message to a batch of numbers in a single API call.

Nice video, can you cover a video on testing in python, so like unit tests and how to integrate it with github

Great tutorial, do you know how many sms we can send per day in the free plan?

is it possible to send a message to several phone numbers with by using twilio in python
Yup - just naively, you can probably use that same code in a loop or a map for all the different numbers you want to send to (N number of API calls).
Also, it might be worth checking if Twilio has a way to send a message to a batch of numbers in a single API call.
Can you send message to multiple contacts
Yeah I think you just pass in an array of numbers in the destination rather than just one number.
How to avoid "Sent from your twillio account"
Does it say that? I think you might need to upgrade to a production account or a paid plan.
