Twilio

  • Daily billed spend and usage volume by Twilio billing category

Method: API Key (or Account SID + Auth Token)

  1. Log in to console.twilio.com and copy your Account SID from the account dashboard. It starts with AC.
  2. Create a scoped API key: go to Account > API keys & tokens > Create API key, and set the key type to Main. A Standard key can’t read usage records, so Main is required. Copy the API Key SID (starts with SK) and the Secret — the Secret is shown only once.
  3. In Plutus, enter the Account SID, API Key SID, and API Key Secret.
  4. If you’d rather not create an API key, you can use your Auth Token instead — enter it and leave the API key fields blank. An API key is recommended because you can revoke it independently; rotating the Auth Token breaks every other integration that uses it.

Plutus reads Twilio’s Usage Records API (Daily) and records billed spend per billing category, in the currency Twilio bills you in.

Twilio reports spend by billing category and nothing else — no region, and a master account’s figures already include its subaccounts, so there is no per-subaccount split. Its categories are hierarchical (calls, calls-inbound, calls-inbound-local, …), and Plutus records only the top-level ones present so that spend is counted exactly once.
