Telnyx Account - curl

Installation

# curl is pre-installed on macOS, Linux, and Windows 10+

Setup

export TELNYX_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"

All examples below use $TELNYX_API_KEY for authentication.

Error Handling

All API calls can fail with network errors, rate limits (429), validation errors (422),

or authentication errors (401). Always handle errors in production code:

# Check HTTP status code in response
response=$(curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" \
  -X POST "https://api.telnyx.com/v2/messages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"to": "+13125550001", "from": "+13125550002", "text": "Hello"}')

http_code=$(echo "$response" | tail -1)
body=$(echo "$response" | sed '$d')

case $http_code in
  2*) echo "Success: $body" ;;
  422) echo "Validation error — check required fields and formats" ;;
  429) echo "Rate limited — retry after delay"; sleep 1 ;;
  401) echo "Authentication failed — check TELNYX_API_KEY" ;;
  *)   echo "Error $http_code: $body" ;;
esac

Common error codes: 401 invalid API key, 403 insufficient permissions,

404 resource not found, 422 validation error (check field formats),

429 rate limited (retry with exponential backoff).

Important Notes

• Pagination: List endpoints return paginated results. Use page[number] and page[size] query parameters to navigate pages. Check meta.total_pages in the response.
