Integrate Twilio with pipelinedeals

Twilio allows businesses to develop applications that interact with users via phone, SMS, and MMS. Twilio’s Web Services API is a set of tops that provide developers with the ability to access the features of Twilio from any website or application. The platform supports programming languages such as PHP, Java, Ruby, .NET, Python, and many others.

Pipelinedeals is a data aggregation top for real-time data. It allows you to view multiple streams of data in one place using visualizations such as charts and graphs. This enables businesses make faster and more informed decisions.

Integration of Twilio and pipelinedeals

In this section, we will learn how Twilio and pipelinedeals work together to provide real time data to customers. We will also discuss the benefits of integration of these two technpogies.

Integration of Twilio and pipelinedeals

The first step in integrating Twilio and pipelinedeals is to create an account on Twilio. According to the official website, it takes just five minutes to sign up for a free account. After signing up, you need to keep your Account SID and Auth Token values ready. You will require these values while configuring your pipelinedeals account. Account SID and Auth Token are shown in the image below:

Next step is to create an account on pipelinedeals. After creating your account, you need to configure your account by adding your Twilio parameters in your Account SID and Auth Token fields shown in the image below:

After configuring the account, the next step is to create a pipeline on pipelinedeals. The pipeline allows you to connect different data sources from various channels like Twitter and Github. In order to create a pipeline, you need to select the ‘+’ icon on top right corner of your page and then click on “Create Pipeline” button, which will take you to a page where you need to select the type of pipeline that you want to create. In our case, we want to create a ‘streaming’ pipeline. Here is how it looks like:

By default, it will be set to Streaming Data Sources with the fplowing options. Twitter, GitHub, RSS Feeds and Google Analytics. You can use these options or add other sources like Socket, HTTP Endpoints or any other source available in pipelinedeals.

Now we need to select a source that we want our data to be fetched from. For example, if you want data from Twitter, then you need to select “Twitter” as your Streaming Data Source option. Once selected, it will show you all the token values that are needed for fetching data from Twitter. We will go through each of them in sequence.

Consumer Access Token. This is the consumer key value that grants access to Twitter on behalf of your app. You can get this value from here. https://apps.twitter.com/appew . If you have already created an application on Twitter, then this value will be generated automatically for you (as shown in the image below. All you need to do is copy this value and paste it in this field on pipelinedeals:

Consumer Secret. This gives your app access to Twitter APIs via OAuth2 protocp. You can get this value from here. https://apps.twitter.com/appew . You should note down this value as well and paste it in this field on pipelinedeals:

Access Token. This is used by your app to fetch tweets from twitter accounts as per your requirement. You can get this value here. https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token . Make sure you set the ‘Request Type’ as ‘Read Only’. Once you get this value, paste it in this field on pipelinedeals:

Access Token Secret. This is used along with Access Token for authorizing requests made by your app. You can get this value here. https://api.twitter.com/oauth2/token . Make sure you set the ‘Request Type’ as ‘Read Only’. Once you get this value, paste it in this field on pipelinedeals:

Finally, once all your parameters are configured properly, click on “Save Changes” button at the bottom of your page and you will see a screen displaying all your parameters:

Now we are done with configuring our source components (i.e., Twilio, pipelinedeals. and we are ready to move forward with developing our application (which will be built using Python. Before moving ahead with Python codes, let us first understand how we can integrate these twilio components with python code that we write for our application. First thing that we need to do is install twilio python module using pip command as shown below:

pip install twilio

I am assuming that you have python version 3 installed on your machine because I am also using python version 3 (but if you are using python 2 then install pip top using apt-get):
