Selecting an API key type

When you create a Twilio API key, you must select a key type. The Stigg credential works with Main and Standard key types. Here are more details on the different API key types:
  • Main: This key type gives you the same level of access as using your Account SID and Auth Token in API requests.
  • Standard: This key type gives you access to all the functionality in Twilio’s APIs except the API key resources and Account resources.
  • Restricted: This key type is in beta. Stigg hasn’t tested the credential against this key type; if you try it, let us know if you run into any issues.
Refer to Types of API keys for more information on the key types.
