I have tried to navigate through the different menus in API but i dont see any option to get list of my account phone numbers. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Answer 1

Twilio developer evangelist here.

If you want to list the phone numbers you have in your Twilio account through the API you need the Incoming Phone Numbers list resource.

You can access this easily with the Twilio rubygem like so:

require 'twilio-ruby'

@client = Twilio::REST::Client.new YOUR_ACCOUNT_SID, YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN
numbers = @client.account.incoming_phone_numbers.list
numbers.each do |number|
  # do something with the number
  puts number.phone_number
end

Here is a PHP version...

<?php
namespace App\Test;
use Twilio\Rest\Client;
use Twilio\Rest\API\V2010\AccountContext;
use Twilio\Rest\Api\V2010\Account\IncomingPhoneNumberList;
use Twilio\Rest\Api\V2010\Account\IncomingPhoneNumberInstance;

class TestClient {
    private $client = null;
    public function __construct() {
        $sid = $_ENV['TWILIO_SID'];
        $token = $_ENV['TWILIO_TOKEN'];
        $this->client = new Client($sid, $token);
    }
    public function getActiveNumbers()
    {
        $context = $this->client->getAccount();
        $activeNumbers = $context->incomingPhoneNumbers;
        $activeNumberArray = $activeNumbers->read();
        $numbers = [];
        foreach($activeNumberArray as $activeNumber) {
            error_log('active number = '.$activeNumber->phoneNumber);
            $numbers[] = (object)[
                'number' => $activeNumber->phoneNumber,
                'name' => $activeNumber->friendlyName,
                'sid' => $activeNumber->sid
            ];
       }
       var_dump($numbers);
       return $numbers;
    }
}
