Python Node.js Helper SDK

Note: Bleeding edge: Use with caution

Installation

Install using:

npm install plivo

Authentication:

To make requests, you create a Client and provide it authentication credentials (which can be found at https://manage.plivo.com/dashboard/).

We recommend that you store your credentials in the PLIVO_AUTH_ID and the PLIVO_AUTH_TOKEN environment variables, so as to avoid the possibility of accidentally committing them to source control. If you do this, you can initialise the client with no arguments and it will automatically fetch them from the environment variables:

var plivo = require('plivo');
var client = new plivo.Client();

Alternatively, you can provide these to Client's constructor yourself:

var plivo = require('plivo');
var client = new plivo.Client('<insert your authentication ID here>', '<insert your authentication token here>');

If you are making several requests to Plivo's API, please re-use the same client instance for maximum efficiency.

The Basics

To send a message:

var plivo = require('plivo');
var client = new plivo.Client();
client.mesages.create(
  '1231231231', // Source number
  '3213213213', // Destination number
  'Test Message', // Text
);

To make a call

var plivo = require('plivo');
var client = new plivo.Client();
client.calls.create(
  '1231231231', // From
  '3213213213', // To
  'http://answer.url', // Answer URL
);

To generate XML:

var Response = require('plivo/utils/plivoxml');
var resp = new Response();
resp.addSpeak('Hello World, from Plivo!');
console.log(resp.toXML());
