How can I authenticate with Twilio using Python?

To authenticate with Twilio in Python, you can use the Twilio Python library. First, install it using pip install twilio.

What do I need to set up before using the Twilio library?

You'll need your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token, which you can find in your Twilio console.

Can you show me a sample code for sending an SMS?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from twilio.rest import Client

# Your Account SID and Auth Token
account_sid = 'your_account_sid'
auth_token = 'your_auth_token'
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)

# Sending an SMS
message = client.messages.create(
    body='Hello from Twilio!',
    from_='+1234567890',
    to='+0987654321'
)
print(message.sid)

What if I encounter an error during authentication?

If you encounter an error, check if your Account SID and Auth Token are correct and ensure your Twilio account is active.
