Read the full quickstart here!
Implementations in other languages: .NET | Java | Ruby | PHP | Node
This application gives a ready-made starting point for writing your own registration flow using phone authentication. Before we begin, we need to collect all the config values we need to run the application:
| Config Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Account SID | Your primary Twilio account identifier, find this in the Console |
| Auth Token | Used to authenticate, you'll also find this in the Console |
| Verification SID | Your verification service identifier, find this or create a new service here |
After the above requirements have been met:
-
Clone this repository and
cdinto itgit clone [email protected]:TwilioDevEd/verify-v2-quickstart-python.git cd verify-v2-quickstart-python
-
Prepare the environment and install dependencies
make install
-
Set your environment variables
cp .env.example .env
See Twilio Account Settings to locate the necessary environment variables.
-
Set the database
make serve-setup
-
Run the application
make serve
This will start a development server. It will reload whenever you change any files.
-
Navigate to http://localhost:5000
That's it!
If you have Docker already installed on your machine, you can use our docker-compose.yml to setup your project.
- Make sure you have the project cloned.
- Setup the
.envfile as outlined in the Local Development steps. - Run
docker-compose up.
You can run the tests locally by typing:
python -m pytestAdditionally to trying out this application locally, you can deploy it to a variety of host services. Here is a small selection of them.
Please be aware that some of these might charge you for the usage or might make the source code for this application visible to the public. When in doubt research the respective hosting service first.
| Service | |
|---|---|
| Heroku |  |
Some notes:
- For Heroku, please check this to properly configure the project for deployment.
- Glitch is not included because it only supports NodeJS officially. Instead, you can try PythonAnywhere which is a similar alternative por Python projects.
- Zeit Now is also not included because it uses a serverless architecture which doesn't work with frameworks such as Django.
