TWILIO API ERROR Credentials are required to create a TwilioClient django

问题

I am trying to include TWILIO API to my project. It should send sms. I have finished tutorial, but then i get error Credentials are required to create a TwilioClient. I have credentials in .env file and then i try to import them to settings and then get this credentials from settings to views.

This is when i get error.

.env

TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID= 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN= 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
TWILIO_NUMBER= 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

settings.py

import os

    TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = os.getenv('TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID')
    TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = os.getenv('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN')
    TWILIO_NUMBER = os.getenv('TWILIO_NUMBER')
    SMS_BROADCAST_TO_NUMBERS = [
        '+111111111', 
    ]

views

from django.conf import settings                                                                                                                                                       
from django.http import HttpResponse
from twilio.rest import Client


def broadcast_sms(request):
    message_to_broadcast = ("Have you played the incredible TwilioQuest "
                                                "yet? Grab it here: https://www.twilio.com/quest")
    client = Client(settings.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, settings.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN)
    for recipient in settings.SMS_BROADCAST_TO_NUMBERS:
        if recipient:
            client.messages.create(to=recipient,
                                   from_=settings.TWILIO_NUMBER,
                                   body=message_to_broadcast)
    return HttpResponse("messages sent!", 200)

and here is when code work, but i want to import this from settings..

# def sms(request):
#     TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
#     TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
#     TWILIO_NUMBER = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
#     message_to_broadcast = ("Have you played the incredible TwilioQuest "
#                                                 "yet? Grab it here: https://www.twilio.com/quest")
#
#     client = Client(TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN)
#     for recipient in settings.SMS_BROADCAST_TO_NUMBERS:
#         if recipient:
#             client.messages.create(to=+xxxxxxxxx,
#                                    from_=+xxxxxxxxxx,
#                                    body=message_to_broadcast)
#     return HttpResponse("messages sent!", 200)

Any idea how to solve this?

回答1:

So you are using a .env file rather than setting your OS's environmental variables? If so, there is and article below, pointing to https://github.com/theskumar/python-dotenv.

回答2:

replace line

client = Client(settings.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, settings.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN)

with

client = Client("y3234hgfds","etgwegpi34y35")

where y3234hgfds is the TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID from your settings and etgwegpi34y35 is the TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN
