Get Out

Inspiration

I've seen apps that are meant to call you so you can leave a situation, but the audio tends to be bad and the lag between the request and the call arriving tend to be slow.

What it does

A user can text a song they like to the service's number and then it will text them a response (to seem like it's a friend trying to contact them) and then a moment later, have the user get a call where the audio is the song preview of the song they texted in. There's also a backup song in case a preview audio file wasn't found.

How I built it

Using Python 3, Flask, Twilio API, and Spotify API

Challenges I ran into

Getting the API calls configured correctly.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I figured out two new APIs and learned a new way to handle users sending in requests.

What I learned

How to work with the Twilio API (text/calls) and working to integrate audio files with the service.

What's next for Get Out

Probably turn it into an article for Twilio Voices
