Instructions
Step 1: SDK Pattern
import Retell from 'retell-sdk';
const retell = new Retell({ apiKey: process.env.RETELL_API_KEY! });
const agents = await retell.agent.list();
console.log(Agents: ${agents.length});
## Output
- Retell AI integration for data handling
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| 401 Unauthorized | Invalid API key | Check RETELL_API_KEY |
| 429 Rate Limited | Too many requests | Implement backoff |
| 400 Bad Request | Invalid parameters | Check API documentation |
## Examples
### Minimize transcript data in a support escalation
For a failed call, retain the call identifier, timestamps, selected agent
version, and error classification in the incident record. Do not paste full
recordings or transcripts into a ticket; redact names, phone numbers, and
payment details before attaching a narrow excerpt. Set the retention owner and
expiry for the exported evidence, then delete the copy after the investigation
and any agreed remediation are complete.
