title: Receiving and processing an SMS with Twilio in Python
body: <p>I'm learning python and as a project I'm trying to create a program that will recieve an SMS message, process it, and then depending on what is in that message, send back information. </p>
  
  <p>I am using Twilio in python with Flask and ngrok to do all the SMS stuff, but I am still not sure how to actually receive an SMS as data that I can read and process, as there is no documentation that I can find on it. It would be great if someone could help me with this.</p>
  
  <p>I already know how to receive and send SMS with Twilio, I just need to know how to get the precise message that was sent to my Twilio number.</p>
