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")), )
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:
```go
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 and retry with 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")
}
}
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).

Webhooks
Webhook Verification
Telnyx signs webhooks with Ed25519. Each request includes telnyx-signature-ed25519
and telnyx-timestamp headers. Always verify signatures in production:
// In your webhook handler:
func handleWebhook(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
body, _ := io.ReadAll(r.Body)
event, err := client.Webhooks.Unwrap(body, r.Header)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Invalid signature", http.StatusBadRequest)
return
}
// Signature valid — event is the parsed webhook payload
fmt.Println("Received event:", event.Data.EventType)
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
}
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.
