Moving from version 2.1 or below to 3.0 will require changes to your existing code. The library now centers around a TwilioRestClient
class from which all operations you can make against the API are rooted. Refer to the [[Twilio.Api]] REST API wrapper documentation for the list of available methods.
This library is derived from johnsheehan/TwilioApi. Minimal changes should be required to your code in order to use this version. The most notable change is the renaming of TwilioClient
to TwilioRestClient
. In addition to the REST API wrapper, this new version also includes TwiML generation and ASP.NET MVC helpers.
