Telnyx Account Management - Go

Installation

go get github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go

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")),
  option.WithPublicKey(os.Getenv("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:

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, then retry the request (bounded 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")
  }
  return err // Propagate: 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

• **Pagination:** Use `ListAutoPaging()` for automatic iteration: `iter := client.Resource.ListAutoPaging(ctx, params); for iter.Next() { item := iter.Current() }`.

Lists accounts managed by the current user.

Lists the accounts managed by the current user. Users need to be explictly approved by Telnyx in order to become manager accounts.

	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", page)

Returns: `api_user` (string), `created_at` (string), `email` (email), `id` (uuid), `managed_account_allow_custom_pricing` (boolean), `manager_account_id` (string), `organization_name` (string), `record_type` (enum: managed_account), `rollup_billing` (boolean), `updated_at` (string)

Display information about allocatable global outbound channels for the current user.

Display information about allocatable global outbound channels for the current user. Only usable by account managers.

`GET /managed_accounts/allocatable_global_outbound_channels`

	response, err := client.ManagedAccounts.GetAllocatableGlobalOutboundChannels(context.Background())
	if err != nil {
