Twilio API
Twilio API is a cloud communications platform that provides APIs for sending and receiving SMS, MMS, voice calls, video, and other messaging services. It enables developers to integrate communication features into applications without managing underlying telecom infrastructure. The platform supports global connectivity and offers tools for authentication, notifications, and real-time interactions.
Developers should learn Twilio API when building applications that require reliable communication features, such as two-factor authentication (2FA), appointment reminders, customer support chatbots, or emergency alerts. It's particularly useful for startups and enterprises needing scalable, cost-effective solutions for SMS, voice, and video integrations, as it abstracts complex telecom protocols into simple RESTful APIs.
