Telnyx Messaging Hosted - 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

• **Phone numbers** must be in E.164 format (e.g., `+13125550001`). Include the `+` prefix and country code. No spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
• **Pagination:** Use `.auto_paging_each` for automatic iteration: `page.auto_paging_each { |item| puts item.id }`.

Send an RCS message

`POST /messages/rcs` — Required: `agent_id`, `to`, `messaging_profile_id`, `agent_message`

Optional: `mms_fallback` (object), `sms_fallback` (object), `type` (enum: RCS), `webhook_url` (url)

response = client.messages.rcs.send_(
  agent_id: "Agent007",
  agent_message: {},
  messaging_profile_id: "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
  to: "+13125551234"
