| 3 | # Telnyx Messaging - curl |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Installation |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ```text |
| 8 | # curl is pre-installed on macOS, Linux, and Windows 10+ |
| 9 | ``` |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ## Setup |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ```bash |
| 14 | export TELNYX_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" |
| 15 | ``` |
| 16 | |
| 17 | All examples below use `$TELNYX_API_KEY` for authentication. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ## Error Handling |
| 20 | |
| 21 | All API calls can fail with network errors, rate limits (429), validation errors (422), |
| 22 | or authentication errors (401). Always handle errors in production code: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | ```bash |
| 25 | curl \ |
| 26 | -X POST \ |
| 27 | -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY" \ |
| 28 | -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 29 | -d '{ |
| 30 | "to": "+13125550001", |
| 31 | "from": "+18005550101", |
| 32 | "text": "Hello from Telnyx!" |
| 33 | }' \ |
| 34 | "https://api.telnyx.com/v2/messages" |
| 35 | ``` |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Common error codes: `401` invalid API key, `403` insufficient permissions, |
| 38 | `404` resource not found, `422` validation error (check field formats), |
| 39 | `429` rate limited (retry with exponential backoff). |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ## Important Notes |
| 42 | |
| 43 | - **Phone numbers** must be in E.164 format (e.g., `+13125550001`). Include the `+` prefix and country code. No spaces, dashes, or parentheses. |
| 44 | - **Pagination:** List endpoints return paginated results. Use `page[number]` and `page[size]` query parameters to navigate pages. Check `meta.total_pages` in the response. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ## Operational Caveats |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - The sending number must already be assigned to the correct messaging profile before you send traffic from it. |
| 49 | - US A2P long-code traffic must complete 10DLC registration before production sending or carriers will block or heavily filter messages. |
| 50 | - Delivery webhooks are asynchronous. Treat the send response as acceptance of the request, not final carrier delivery. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | ## Reference Use Rules |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Do not invent Telnyx parameters, enums, response fields, or webhook fields. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | - If the parameter, enum, or response field you need is not shown inline in this skill, read [references/api-details.md](references/api-details.md) before writing code. |
| 57 | - Before using any operation in `## Additional Operations`, read [the optional-parameters section](references/api-details.md#optional-parameters) and [the response-schemas section](references/api-details.md#response-schemas). |
| 58 | - Before reading or matching webhook fields beyond the inline examples, read [the webhook payload reference](references/api-details.md#webhook-payload-fields). |
| 59 | |
