I am trying to download csv from Twilio Messages account and save it to file on a folder(https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart/csharp-dotnet-core) using a windows form on Button click action using System.Net.HttpWebRequest GET method request either on C# or vb.NET. I cannot figure how to implement the required authorization lines to the code.

What I have tried:

Dim AccountSid As String = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
Dim AuthToken As String = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
Dim client = New TwilioRestClient(AccountSid, AuthToken)

Solution 1

I think that this is what you are looking for, it's an SDK specifically for Twilio.

Twilio SDK for C# and .NET - Twilio[^]

Now there is no need to worry about writing a comms wrapper for their API...

Solution 2

See the second example here: 4 Ways to Parse a JSON API with C# · GitHub[^]
It uses:

var webRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://api.github.com/repos/twilio/twilio-csharp/contributors") as HttpWebRequest;
