Telnyx 10DLC - Python

Installation

pip install telnyx

Setup

import os
from telnyx import Telnyx

client = Telnyx(
    api_key=os.environ.get("TELNYX_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)

All examples below assume client is already initialized as shown above.

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:

import telnyx

try:
    telnyx_brand = client.messaging_10dlc.brand.create(
        country="US",
        display_name="ABC Mobile",
        email="[email protected]",
        entity_type="PRIVATE_PROFIT",
        vertical="TECHNOLOGY",
    )
except telnyx.APIConnectionError:
    print("Network error — check connectivity and retry")
except telnyx.RateLimitError:
    import time
    time.sleep(1)  # Check Retry-After header for actual delay
except telnyx.APIStatusError as e:
    print(f"API error {e.status_code}: {e.message}")
    if e.status_code == 422:
        print("Validation error — check required fields and formats")

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 methods return an auto-paginating iterator. Use for item in page_result: to iterate through all pages automatically.

Operational Caveats

• 10DLC is sequential: create the brand first, then submit the campaign, then attach messaging infrastructure such as the messaging profile.
• Registration calls are not enough by themselves. Messaging cannot use the campaign until the assignment step completes successfully.
• Treat registration status fields as part of the control flow. Do not assume the campaign is send-ready until the returned status fields confirm it.
