Telnyx Numbers Config - Ruby

Installation

gem install telnyx

Setup

require "telnyx"

client = Telnyx::Client.new(
  api_key: ENV["TELNYX_API_KEY"], # This is the default and can be omitted
  public_key: ENV["TELNYX_PUBLIC_KEY"], # Required for client.webhooks.unwrap (webhook verification)
)

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:

begin
  result = client.messages.send_(to: "+13125550001", from: "+13125550002", text: "Hello")
rescue Telnyx::Errors::APIConnectionError
  puts "Network error — check connectivity and retry"
  raise
rescue Telnyx::Errors::RateLimitError
  # 429: rate limited — wait, then retry the request (bounded exponential backoff)
  sleep(1) # Check Retry-After header for actual delay
  # ...retry the call here (give up after a few attempts); otherwise re-raise:
  raise
rescue Telnyx::Errors::APIStatusError => e
  puts "API error #{e.status}: #{e.message}"
  if e.status == 422
    puts "Validation error — check required fields and formats"
  end
  raise # A failed request must never look like success to the caller
end

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

• Phone numbers must be in E.164 format (e.g., +13125550001). Include the + prefix and country code. No spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
• Pagination: Use .auto_paging_each for automatic iteration: page.auto_paging_each { |item| puts item.id }.

Bulk update phone number profiles

Starts a bulk update of messaging-profile assignments for the supplied phone numbers. The response identifies the order used to monitor processing.
