New accounts use a different API key generated from the dashboard as the key instead of Sid, the client should take an extra argument api_key and use it for authentication along with account sid and API token

When installing ElastAlert (python setup.py install), the following error is thrown and the installation is halted because exotel requires the module 'requests==2.2.1' while ElastAlert's requirements.txt uses 2.5.1

error: requests 2.5.1 is installed but requests==2.2.1 is required by set(['exotel'])

This error does not occur until you run ElastAlert's 'pip install -r requirements.txt', but after you do that, this issue will occur every time you try to run install.

Can exotel be modified to work with >=2.2.1 ?

Ref https://pypi.org/project/exotel/0.1.6/ - version was released 3 hours ago in PyPi, and contains malicious code in setup.py

Latest version of exotel (0.1.1) has strict dependency on requests-2.2.1
requests==2.2.1 in its turn uses old version of urllib3, which uses PROTOCOL_SSLv3.
This protocol was disabled in new versions of Debian, so elastalert can't be installed properly in new versions of Debian.
