Telnyx Verify - Go

Installation

go get github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go

Setup

import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "os"

  "github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go"
  "github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go/option"
)

client := telnyx.NewClient(
  option.WithAPIKey(os.Getenv("TELNYX_API_KEY")),
  option.WithPublicKey(os.Getenv("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:

import "errors"

result, err := client.Messages.Send(ctx, params)
if err != nil {
  var apiErr *telnyx.Error
  if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
    switch apiErr.StatusCode {
    case 422:
      fmt.Println("Validation error — check required fields and formats")
    case 429:
      // Rate limited — wait, then retry the request (bounded exponential backoff)
      fmt.Println("Rate limited, retrying...")
    default:
      fmt.Printf("API error %d: %s\n", apiErr.StatusCode, apiErr.Error())
    }
  } else {
    fmt.Println("Network error — check connectivity and retry")
  }
  return err // Propagate: a failed request must never look like success to the caller
}

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 ListAutoPaging() for automatic iteration: iter := client.Resource.ListAutoPaging(ctx, params); for iter.Next() { item := iter.Current() }.
