I want to use Twilio to send a generated number via text message(sms). I know that Twilio has a CURL api and it should work with the webapi component in Thunkable x but I dont know how to use the webapi component.  
here is an example of what I should post in the webapi component but I dont know where to write the account sid and auth token

```auto
curl -X POST https://verify.twilio.com/v2/Services/VAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Verifications \--data-urlencode "To=+15017122661" \--data-urlencode "Channel=sms" \-u $TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID:$TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN

```

@abdallask,

Sorry, I skimmed you message and did not notice the question was about the -u curl setting.

I haven’t used a site with this setting, but here is a promising reference

[https://curl.se/docs/manual.html](https://curl.se/docs/manual.html)

```auto
