A Python application to send and receive messages with WhatsApp using the Twilio API for WhatsApp.
Follow the guide here: https://www.twilio.com/docs/whatsapp/quickstart/python
Add your credentials and To/From phone numbers as environment variables in a twilio.env file and source them:
echo "export TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID='ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'" > twilio.env
echo "export TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN='your_auth_token'" >> twilio.env
echo "export TO_WHATSAPP_NUMBER='to_whatsapp_number'" >> twilio.env
echo "export FROM_WHATSAPP_NUMBER='from_whatsapp_number'" >> twilio.env
source ./twilio.env
Make sure that Git ignores the twilio.env file:
echo "twilio.env" >> .gitignore
