Demonstrating sending SMSes with Twilio from C
A minimal C demo showing how to POST to Twilio's REST API using libcurl. Essentially a thin wrapper around curl_easy_perform with basic auth and form fields. Last touched in 2017.
- Self-contained: two source files, one header, a Makefile — nothing to untangle
- Demonstrates the actual HTTP mechanics of the Twilio API without hiding them behind an SDK
- MIT licensed and small enough to copy-paste into an embedded or legacy project where you can't pull in a full SDK
- Nine years stale — Twilio has changed its API surface and authentication recommendations since 2017; treat this as a starting point, not a reference
- No error handling on the curl response body or HTTP status code — it fires and forgets
- POSIX-only and requires libcurl as an external dependency, which is not always available in constrained environments where you'd actually need raw C
- 5 stars, 2 forks, abandoned by Twilio's own edu team — there is no community to ask if something breaks
