Twilio-call bash script returns 404 NOT FOUND

Question

I have a paid twilio account with verified number and am trying to use the bash script supplied by twilio entitled "twilio-call" on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. The response is: Failed to call 941-8XX-XXXX: curl (22): The requested URL returned: 404 NOT FOUND.

I know that I have the credentials set correctly as the bash script entitled "twilio-sms" works flawlessly.

The bash script "twilio-call" has been downloaded directly from twilio.com/labs/bash and the permissions have been set correctly.

The actual curl command is: RESPONSE=curl -fSs -u "$ACCOUNTSID:$AUTHTOKEN" -d "Caller=$CALLERID" -d "Called=$PHONE" -d "Url=http://twimlets.com/message?Message=$MSG" "https://api.twilio.com/2008-08-01/Accounts/$ACCOUNTSID/Calls" 2>&1

The variables $ACCOUNTSID, $AUTHTOKEN, $CALLERID, $PHONE, and $MSG have all been verified to be populated correctly.

What could be causing this 404 response? Am I correct in my understanding that a verified number from twilio which works correctly for sms should also work for call?

Print out the entire command line with all the environment variable values substituted and very likely you will realise what the problem is... — marekful
@marekful Thank you for the suggestion. While I have already verified that the variables were populated correctly, I followed your advice and I substituted the variables for constants and I get the same results. No joy. But thanks for the suggestion. — Mark Cain

It must be some old example at Twilio. Where did you find it?

The API endpoint URL it's not

https://api.twilio.com/2008-08-01/Accounts/$ACCOUNTSID/Calls

it is

https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$ACCOUNTSID/Calls
