# Twilio SIP Realtime Example This example shows how to handle OpenAI Realtime SIP calls with the Agents SDK. Incoming calls are accepted through the Realtime Calls API, a triage agent answers with a fixed greeting, and handoffs route the caller to specialist agents (FAQ lookup and record updates) similar to the realtime UI demo. ## Prerequisites - Python 3.10+ - An OpenAI API key with Realtime API access - A configured webhook secret for your OpenAI project - A Twilio account with a phone number and Elastic SIP Trunking enabled - A public HTTPS endpoint for local development (for example, [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/)) ## Configure OpenAI 1. In [platform settings](https://platform.openai.com/settings) select your project. 2. Create a webhook pointing to `https:///openai/webhook` with "realtime.call.incoming" event type and note the signing secret. The example verifies each webhook with `OPENAI_WEBHOOK_SECRET`. ## Configure Twilio Elastic SIP Trunking 1. Create (or edit) an Elastic SIP trunk. 2. On the **Origination** tab, add an origination SIP URI of `sip:proj_@sip.api.openai.com;transport=tls` so Twilio sends inbound calls to OpenAI. (The Termination tab always ends with `.pstn.twilio.com`, so leave it unchanged.) 3. Add at least one phone number to the trunk so inbound calls are forwarded to OpenAI. ## Setup 1. Install dependencies: ```bash uv pip install -r examples/realtime/twilio_sip/requirements.txt ``` 2. Export required environment variables: ```bash export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." export OPENAI_WEBHOOK_SECRET="whsec_..." ``` 3. (Optional) Adjust the multi-agent logic in `examples/realtime/twilio_sip/agents.py` if you want to change the specialist agents or tools. 4. Run the FastAPI server: ```bash uv run uvicorn examples.realtime.twilio_sip.server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 ``` 5. Expose the server publicly (example with ngrok): ```bash ngrok http 8000 ``` ## Test a Call 1. Place a call to the Twilio number attached to the SIP trunk. 2. Twilio sends the call to `sip.api.openai.com`; OpenAI fires `realtime.call.incoming`, which this example accepts. 3. The triage agent greets the caller, then either keeps the conversation or hands off to: - **FAQ Agent** – answers common questions via `faq_lookup_tool`. - **Records Agent** – writes short notes using `update_customer_record`. 4. The background task attaches to the call and logs transcripts plus basic events in the console. You can edit `server.py` to change instructions, add tools, or integrate with internal systems once the SIP session is active.
