Make an HTTP Request to Twilio There are a lot of ways you can make an HTTP request to the Twilio API. You can make a raw HTTP request in your code (for example, using a module like got in NodeJS) or by using a tool like Postman. You might find it easier to use the Twilio Helper Library or SDK for your preferred programming language - even if that's $bash, and you need to use the Twilio CLI.
