Telnyx Fax - Java

Installation

<!-- Maven -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.telnyx.sdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>telnyx</artifactId>
    <version>6.95.0</version>
</dependency>

// Gradle
implementation("com.telnyx.sdk:telnyx:6.95.0")

Setup

import com.telnyx.sdk.client.TelnyxClient;
import com.telnyx.sdk.client.okhttp.TelnyxOkHttpClient;

// fromEnv() reads TELNYX_API_KEY and TELNYX_PUBLIC_KEY (the public key is required for
// client.webhooks().unwrap() — webhook verification)
TelnyxClient client = TelnyxOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

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 com.telnyx.sdk.errors.TelnyxServiceException;

try {
    var result = client.messages().send(params);
} catch (TelnyxServiceException e) {
    System.err.println("API error " + e.statusCode() + ": " + e.getMessage());
    if (e.statusCode() == 422) {
        System.err.println("Validation error — check required fields and formats");
    } else if (e.statusCode() == 429) {
        // Rate limited — wait, then retry the request (bounded exponential backoff)
        Thread.sleep(1000);
        // ...retry the call here (give up after a few attempts)
    }
    throw e; // Re-throw: 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: List methods return a page. Use .autoPager() for automatic iteration: for (var item : page.autoPager()) { ... }. For manual control, use .hasNextPage() and .nextPage().

Webhooks

Webhook Verification

Telnyx signs webhooks with Ed25519. Each request includes telnyx-signature-ed25519 and telnyx-timestamp headers. Always verify signatures in production:

Verification needs your account's public key (Mission Control Portal → API Keys → Public Key). The SDK reads it from TELNYX_PUBLIC_KEY (the ## Setup block above passes it explicitly); without it every valid webhook fails verification and the handler below returns 400.

import com.telnyx.sdk.core.UnwrapWebhookParams;
import com.telnyx.sdk.core.http.Headers;

// In your webhook handler (e.g., Spring — use raw body):
@PostMapping("/webhooks")
public ResponseEntity<String> handleWebhook(
    @RequestBody String payload,
    HttpServletRequest request) {
  try {
    Headers headers = Headers.builder()
        .put("telnyx-signature-ed25519", request.getHeader("telnyx-signature-ed25519"))
        .put("telnyx-timestamp", request.getHeader("telnyx-timestamp"))
        .build();
    var event = client.webhooks().unwrap(
        UnwrapWebhookParams.builder()
            .body(payload)
            .headers(headers)
            .build());
    // Signature valid — process the event
    System.out.println("Received webhook event");
    return ResponseEntity.ok("OK");
  } catch (Exception e) {
    System.err.println("Webhook verification failed: " + e.getMessage());
    return ResponseEntity.badRequest().body("Invalid signature");
  }
}

The following webhook events are sent to your configured webhook URL. All webhooks include telnyx-timestamp and telnyx-signature-ed25519 headers for Ed25519 signature verification. Use client.webhooks.unwrap() to verify.
