Dial in Twillio functions keeps calling multiple times
Steps to Reproduce Using the following [code block]` Both numbers get called as expected. The issue is that if I cancel a call on first phone, it starts ringing again until i cancel the call on both or accept on one or timeout happens. Is there a way to prevent that? The statusCallback function is the following, just used to log some extra stuff. [code block]`
Twilio Verify VerificationCheck is out of date
Issue Summary Calling the following code example present in the Verification docs results in an exception- Code Snippet [code block] Exception/Log [code block] The phone is getting SMS with verification code. Moreover, its verified when checked in the logs on Twilio console, after calling the above function. But this exception makes it impossible for the application to know if the verification succeed or not. Steps to Reproduce 1. Call the verifications.create() method with required parameters to send SMS with code. 2. verificationChecks.create() method with previous phone number and correct code.

Parse.com outdated module : Unable to complete HTTP request
Hi, Parse.com uses an old version of Twilio module. Since a few hours, this outdated version doesn't work anymore. Is this possible to provide back backward-compatibility as it used to work until today ? That's not really possible for us to migrate now to Parse-Server (and so, with an updated Twilio module). Thanks ! Edit : As @hramos pointed out, Parse.com is not using official Twilio npm module. I leave this message hoping someone at Twilio will try to update server to provide back compatibility...
errors should inherit from the Error object
currently twilio errors are represented as a dictionary: [code block] it would be better if errors inherited from the Error js object. there are a few reasons for this: - Error objects have stack traces, which help you nail down where they originate - makes it possible for someone to throw a Twilio error (currently a dictionary). the JS behavior for throwing/catching non-Error objects is wonky at best and handling varies by library - mocha, raven-node behave oddly when you're using them without an Error object. It would be pretty straight forward to add considering there is already a `message` property on the object.
[Bug] Invalid types in last update
Some of the changes in the following commit define types don't match the actual structure of the data causing type errors when attempting to access values as documented. For example, `lineTypeIntelligence: Record<string, object>` suggests that the shape would be: [code block] It should probably instead be `Record<string, any>`. Or, even better, it should contain the actual available keys and value types as documented. https://github.com/twilio/twilio-node/commit/49f3f2b147818bf03d0067ad7cc13fbcbaf72c7d#diff-55a60b51b684465835a0448f6efceb0ef9b0cb5ada598728e1594ebf2507deddR292
[Vulnerability] patch axios vulnerability CVE 2023 45857
Issue Summary Current version of axios used by the library has a vulnerability. https://security.snyk.io/vuln/SNYK-JS-AXIOS-6032459 I see a few PRs open for this already, but it is not being addressed. https://github.com/twilio/twilio-node/pull/971 https://github.com/twilio/twilio-node/pull/970 Steps to Reproduce 1. Install latest twilio-node dependency 2. Run snyk/github security scan Code Snippet [code block] Exception/Log [code block] Technical details: twilio-node version: 4.8.1 node version: v18.16.0
160 character limit for 1600 character resource (sending text messages)
According to your documentation (https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/sending-messages) text messages using the most recent Twilio API have a size limit of 1600 characters. However whenever I try to send a message over 160 characters (the old limit supposedly) I receive the following error: "message": "The message body exceeds the 160 character limit.", "code":21605", "moreInfo":"https://www.twilio.com/docs/errors/21605" I am using the nodeJS helper library and making the exact same call as the documentation described (again https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/sending-messages)). Is it possible the Twilio nodeJS library is using the old API call and the documentation is incorrect?
Can't compile typescript without adding @types/express
Issue Summary I'm not able to build a typescript project with this package just by adding the `twilio` and `@types/twilio` packages, when I build the solution. I am not using anything express related in terms of imports from twilio and my project is express free as well. If I install `@types/express` as a dev dependency then it will build, but I don't think that's how it's supposed to work. Steps to Reproduce 1. Create node typescript app 2. Install `twilio` as dependency and `@types/twilio` as dev dependency 3. Import twilio in a ts file, use the method for sending a basic message 4. Run `npm run build` Exception/Log [code block] Technical details: twilio-node version: 3.19.3 node version: 14.16.0
Support customParameters when calling js client using api calls
Hi, use case: We use twilio client(js) as part of our contact center platform. In response to certain type of callers in the queue, we ring certain agents using apis, and if they accept the call, only then the caller is whisked out of queue and conferenced with the agent. When calling a client using api, we want to piggyback extra details about the call like call id in the crm, so that extra details about the caller can be displayed to the agent. (This is not our exact flow, but simplified, to share the scenario)
Twilio Verify - requested resource /Services/.../VerificationCheck was not found

Steps to Reproduce 1) Type in phone number 2) Send API call to Twilio Verify to send verification code Code Snippet [code block] Exception/Log [code block] Technical details: twilio-node version: v3.50.0 node version: v12
TypeScript typed statusCallbackEvent writes invalid attribute value
As can be seen from the example code and its output below, `statusCallbackEvent` attribute ends up having wrong delimiter, comma instead of space, in the resulting XML, and this causes error on Twilio side. Version: 3.37.0 Code Snippet (main.ts) [code block] Output [code block]

Wrong Timezone
Hi, don't know if it's a Twilio issue or just a Node.js issue, but the timezone with which SMSs are sent is wrong. Both my mobile device and computer (where the server is spinning) have CET as a configured timezone. Though all SMSs I'm receiving are in UTC (i.e. 2 hours behind). Any tips on how to fix this?

Not getting the conference logs with twilio client when conference is created by dial() fn
Issue Summary I am not able to see the conference I just created using the dial() function. I need this so I can grab the conference sid off of it to make another outbound call with twilio client. But the ironic thing is that the conference I create using dial() appears in the conference logs on twilio's website. Another weird thing... The only time I am able to see conference logs using twilio client is when I create the conference through twilio client. Steps to Reproduce 1. Create Conference using twiml 2. Try to get the status of that conference using twilio client Code Snippet [code block] Technical details: twilio-node version: node version:

Wrong `PromptAttributes` interface implementation
Issue Summary Right now I'm following the docs to use `Pay.Prompt` noun but there is a problem while using TypeScript. The interface includes the following: [code block] And as we can see the attribute is `for_` (with the `_`) and inside the docs: https://www.twilio.com/es-mx/docs/voice/twiml/pay/prompt#for It's `for` only (without the `_`), if we try to use `Pay.Prompt` like the following: [code block] It throws an error: `Argument of type '{ for: string; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'PromptAttributes'.` So, we need to use `for_` but the Twilio parser does not detect `for_`. Another thing is that it looks like the docs are also out of date: The errorTypes are: [code block] And there is no `invalid-postal-code` for example when the current docs state that it is actually there. Maybe it could be another good idea to add the usage of the errorTypes inside the docs? so we know it's an array and how to use it with `cardType` could be really useful. Steps to Reproduce 1. Create a Twilio Serverless function 2. Add TS support 3. Use the `Pay` verb 4. Add the `Prompt` noun support Code Snippet [code block] Exception/Log [code block] Technical details: twilio-node version: ^3.80.0 twilio/runtime-handler: ^1.25.0 node version: 16.16.0 typescript: 4.0.0 ts-node: 10.7.0 @types/node 17.0.21 Workaround: There is a workaround by adding `// @ts-ignore` above the line like: [code block]

443 Error not found on twilio.messages.create

Issue with Typescript
I have been following this documentation(https://github.com/TwilioDevEd/api-snippets/blob/master/rest/access-tokens/video-example/video-example.3.x.js) to generate a auth token. Using `"twilio": "^3.19.1"` with `"@types/twilio": "0.0.9",` seems like the `VideoGrant` is unavailable and the Typescript and `AccessToken.toJwt()` requires a String parameter which is not necessary. I ended up doing the following, but it would be nice to fix these. Version: ^3.19.1 Code Snippet [code block] Thanks

Feature request: Typescript definitions for 3.0 API
Please provide Typescript definitions, it makes a world of difference. Currently the 2.0 API bindings are provided for Twilio but not for 3.0.
Twilio Verify VerificationCheck is out of date.
The underlying API for verify has changed but the documentation / library has yet to be updated to reflect these changes. This is very misleading due to the documentation directly stating that `V2` should be used instead of `V1`.

We encourage you to do any new development with API V2.` Version: `3.32.0` Code Snippet [code block] Exception/Log [code block] Steps to Reproduce 1. Make request defined in `Code Snippet` 2.

Incorrect Typescript types on MessageInstance
Issue Summary The `MessageInstance` class looks as if it contains incorrect types for some of its instance properties. Properties such as `errorCode` and `errorMessage` can be nullable according to the documentation so I would think that the type of `errorCode` should be `number | null` rather than simply `number` as it currently is. Props types that seem incorrect: - `errorCode`: should be `number | null` rather than `number` - `errorMessage`: should be `string | null` rather than `string` - `price`: should be `string | null` rather than `string` - `priceUnit`: should be `string | null` rather than `string` - `messagingServiceSid`: should be `string | null` rather than `string` (From the docs: "The SID of the Messaging Service used with the message. The value is null if a Messaging Service was not used.")

Invalid types for nested fields
Some of the types exported by this package aren't valid. There's a mix of variable casing and it doesn't seem like results get normalized correctly For example in this program: [code block] [code block] `result` is of type `NumberInstance` and it sets `outboundCallPrices` but the actual type of that field says a property `currentPrice` should exist but it's never converted from `current_price` into `currentPrice`. `inboundCallPrice` can also be null, but that's not reflected in the field type: https://github.com/twilio/twilio-node/blob/7d9dd1fe9d2bc7e68f90a66e05785586ab20b270/src/rest/pricing/v2/voice/number.ts#L208 The source type descriptions in the openapi spec correctly mentions that both of these are nullable: https://github.com/twilio/twilio-oai/blob/bcf1d20ba0710f272748c3d23312498e28a99315/spec/yaml/twilio_pricing_v2.yaml#L304-L341

Realtime Google Speech Transcription
I tried Twilio Speech recognition and was not so happy with the accuracy of conversion to text. I wanted to use Google Speech API for transcription and I was following this article: https://medium.com/@mheavers/better-twilio-transcriptions-with-the-google-web-speech-api-eb24274c5e3 There, they record the speech and then send the details to Google Speech API.

Unhandled request error event (ETIMEDOUT)
Issue Summary Very rarely, I'm seeing an unhandled error event (terminating the Node process) with the message/code `ETIMEDOUT` being emitted in a piece of code that communicates with the Twilio API. The code in question is calling `users(id).userChannels.list()` in this case, but I don't think the specific endpoint actually matters. The event is emitted by the `request` module used by `twilio-node`. I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug in twilio-node or rather in request, but it seems to me that maybe an event handling function should be attached to the `http` call in `/lib/base/RequestClient.js`, which could catch sporadic error events, and reject the returned promise in those cases. The request docs only mention handling events in the context of streams, but this issue looks somewhat related. Steps to Reproduce Happens once in a blue moon, so not exactly easily reproducible.
