Telnyx Account - 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).
