Question

I m using twilio as for a mobile verification mechanism, I have no prior experience in using twilio but looking at the sample PHP code I used this one in my code but apparently it s giving me an 400 Bad request HTTP error. Here s the code:

    d = {
         TO  :  *** *** **** ,
         FROM  :  415-555-1212 ,
         BODY  :  Hello user, please verify your device using                    this code %s  % verNumber
    }
    try:
        print account.request( /%s/Accounts/%s/SMS/Messages  % 
                            (API_VERSION, ACCOUNT_SID),  POST , d)
    except Exception, e:
        return HttpResponse( Error %s  % e)

verNumber is randomly generated and the receiver s number is validated in twilio.

I follow the exception and found this error

Error 400 The source  From  phone number is required to send an SMS

What does this mean.?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Looking at some of the twilio examples from the python libraries I notice that the dictionaries containing the payload are typed in MixedCase whereas you ve used UPPERCASE.

The error might be quite straight forward rather than

d = {
     TO  :  *** *** **** ,
     FROM  :  415-555-1212 ,
     BODY  :  Hello user, please verify your device using this code %s  % verNumber
}

try

d = {
     To  :  *** *** **** ,
     From  :  415-555-1212 ,
     Body  :  Hello user, please verify your device using this code %s  % verNumber
}

The SMS Quickstart ( in the documentation) supports this idea.

Hope this helps.

Try http://bitbucket.org/vgavro/django-smsgate/ , you may need to write backend for twilio - but the rest is done for you already.
