Robocall on the fly with Python and Twilio - make a call with a robo-voice

ROBOCALL101

about

This program posts a temporary XML/TWIML file to restwords.com
to use as a webhook. Then the Twilio API connects to that webhook
to make a robocall on-the-fly. The Twilio bot will transcribe and
speak exactly what you pass with the -c option (including swears,
most slang, and large numbers).

A text may also be sent with the -t option.

Arnold is having a bad day - Use the -a option.
(for extreme circumstances only)

Requirements

• Python3 and pip install twilio
• Obtain your Twilio Credentials and Twilio Number
• Set the following environment variables:
1. TWILIO_NUMBER=18885551234
2. TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
3. TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Twilio is free to try, but I recommend getting a paid number for $1 a month.


example usage:

• ./robocall101.py -n 18881234567 -t "hello world"
• ./robocall101.py -n 18881234567 -c "hello world"
