AUTOCALLER

Author: Nolan Karpinski Last Edit: 10/20/2015

Functionality: This project uses the Twilio API to send automated phone calls with user-specified voice messages.

Implementation: The current setup calls the phone number specified in autocaller/app.py with an automated message structured by the TwiML app in voice.py (currently hosted on Heroku).

Voice.py (TwiML app) calls the Python API Wrapper and retrieves the top headline from the front page of Reddit and creates/returns an XML object, available to the public web via Heroku, which is ultimately called by the Twilio App to direct what the automated call should do when initiated, using the "say" verb

Additional necessary files: A settings.py file is needed locally to specify: TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN TWILIO_NUMBER CALL_TO_NUMBER VOICE_MSG_URL
