Integrating Finnhub.io with Twilio

What I built

I built a Integration for Twilio to get the current stocks quote from my favourite api Provider.

As there was no app using the already published api from Finnhub that fitted my Needs, I thought this would be the perfect fit.

Instead of making a complete app myself, I decided to use this correlation, to use a Twilio Integration. The result should work on-the-go, be easy to use, be easy to implement and most importantly, work in rural Areas without excessive mobile Network Access.

This were the reasons to use the Twilio Service with SMS capability.
The result fitted all my needs, was easy to create and even works without Internet Access. In the end using SMS for the request initiation fitted perfectly.

How I built it

I used the awesome prebuilt official PHP SDK from Twilio with no issues, as well as the inbuilt PHP functionality.

Additional Resources/Info

To successfully deploy the project you need a self controlled PHP environment, as well as an API-Key from Finnhub.io (get one there, it's free).
