Telnyx Iot - Ruby

Installation

gem install telnyx

Setup

require "telnyx"

client = Telnyx::Client.new(
  api_key: ENV["TELNYX_API_KEY"], # This is the default and can be omitted
)

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:

begin
  result = client.messages.send_(to: "+13125550001", from: "+13125550002", text: "Hello")
rescue Telnyx::Errors::APIConnectionError
  puts "Network error — check connectivity and retry"
rescue Telnyx::Errors::RateLimitError
  # 429: rate limited — wait and retry with exponential backoff
  sleep(1) # Check Retry-After header for actual delay
rescue Telnyx::Errors::APIStatusError => e
  puts "API error #{e.status}: #{e.message}"
  if e.status == 422
    puts "Validation error — check required fields and formats"
  end
end

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 `.auto_paging_each` for automatic iteration: `page.auto_paging_each { |item| puts item.id }`.

Purchase eSIMs

Purchases and registers the specified amount of eSIMs to the current user's account. If `sim_card_group_id` is provided, the eSIMs will be associated with that group. Otherwise, the default group for the current user will be used.

`POST /actions/purchase/esims` — Required: `amount`

Optional: `product` (string), `sim_card_group_id` (uuid), `status` (enum: enabled, disabled, standby), `tags` (array[string]), `whitelabel_name` (string)

purchase = client.actions.purchase.create(amount: 10)

puts(purchase)

Returns: `actions_in_progress` (boolean), `authorized_imeis` (array | null), `created_at` (string), `current_billing_period_consumed_data` (object), `data_limit` (object), `eid` (string | null), `esim_installation_status` (enum: released, disabled), `iccid` (string), `id` (uuid), `imsi` (string), `msisdn` (string), `record_type` (string), `resources_with_in_progress_actions` (array[object]), `sim_card_group_id` (uuid), `status` (object), `tags` (array[string]), `type` (enum: physical, esim), `updated_at` (string), `version` (string), `voice_enabled` (boolean)

Register SIM cards

Register the SIM cards associated with the provided registration codes to the current user's account. If `sim_card_group_id` is provided, the SIM cards will be associated with that group. Otherwise, the default group for the current user will be used.

`POST /actions/register/sim_cards` — Required: `registration_codes`

Optional: `sim_card_group_id` (uuid), `status` (enum: enabled, disabled, standby), `tags` (array[string])

register = client.actions.register.create(registration_codes: ["0000000001", "0000000002", "0000000003"])

puts(register)

Returns: `actions_in_progress` (boolean), `authorized_imeis` (array | null), `created_at` (string), `current_billing_period_consumed_data` (object), `data_limit` (object), `eid` (string | null), `esim_installation_status` (enum: released, disabled), `iccid` (string), `id` (uuid), `imsi` (string), `msisdn` (string), `record_type` (string), `resources_with_in_progress_actions` (array[object]), `sim_card_group_id` (uuid), `status` (object), `tags` (array[string]), `type` (enum: physical, esim), `updated_at` (string), `version` (string), `voice_enabled` (boolean)

List bulk SIM card actions

This API lists a paginated collection of bulk SIM card actions. A bulk SIM card action contains details about a collection of individual SIM card actions.

`GET /bulk_sim_card_actions`

page = client.bulk_sim_card_actions.list

puts(page)

Returns: `action_type` (enum: bulk_disable_voice, bulk_enable_voice, bulk_set_public_ips), `created_at` (string), `id` (uuid), `record_type` (string), `settings` (object), `sim_card_actions_summary` (array[object]), `updated_at` (string)

Get bulk SIM card action details

This API fetches information about a bulk SIM card action. A bulk SIM card action contains details about a collection of individual SIM card actions.

`GET /bulk_sim_card_actions/{id}`

bulk_sim_card_action = client.bulk_sim_card_actions.retrieve("6a09cdc3-8948-47f0-aa62-74ac943d6c58")

puts(bulk_sim_card_action)

Returns: `action_type` (enum: bulk_disable_voice, bulk_enable_voice, bulk_set_public_ips), `created_at` (string), `id` (uuid), `record_type` (string), `settings` (object), `sim_card_actions_summary` (array[object]), `updated_at` (string)

List OTA updates

`GET /ota_updates`

page = client.ota_updates.list

puts(page)

Returns: `created_at` (string), `id` (uuid), `record_type` (string), `sim_card_id` (uuid), `status` (enum: in-progress, completed, failed), `type` (enum: sim_card_network_preferences), `updated_at` (string)

Get OTA update

This API returns the details of an Over the Air (OTA) update.
