# system.twilio.getActiveCall

> Returns a list of configurations for currently active Twilio voice calls.

This function is used in **Python Scripting**.

## Description

Returns a list of configurations for currently active Twilio voice calls. This only applies to synchronous calls that use the reverse-proxy system to call back into Ignition for authentication and alarm acknowledgements. Since calls can last minutes and potentially be stuck ringing for some time, this function gives users a view of the current state of call notifications while they're active. 

## Client Permission Restrictions
This scripting function has no [Client Permission](../../../ignition-modules/vision/vision-project-properties/vision-project-properties.md#vision-permissions-properties) restrictions.

## Syntax
`system.twilio.getActiveCall(accountName)`
