Telnyx Numbers Config - Python

Installation

pip install telnyx

Setup

import os
from telnyx import Telnyx

client = Telnyx(
    api_key=os.environ.get("TELNYX_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
    public_key=os.environ.get("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 telnyx

try:
    result = client.messages.send(to="+13125550001", from_="+13125550002", text="Hello")
except telnyx.APIConnectionError:
    print("Network error — check connectivity and retry")
    raise
except telnyx.RateLimitError:
    # 429: rate limited — wait, then retry the request (bounded exponential backoff)
    import time
    time.sleep(1)  # Check Retry-After header for actual delay
    # ...retry the call here (give up after a few attempts); otherwise re-raise:
    raise
except telnyx.APIStatusError as e:
    print(f"API error {e.status_code}: {e.message}")
    if e.status_code == 422:
        print("Validation error — check required fields and formats")
    raise  # 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

• **Phone numbers** must be in E.164 format (e.g., `+13125550001`). Include the `+` prefix and country code. No spaces, dashes, or parentheses.
• **Pagination:** List methods return an auto-paginating iterator. Use `for item in page_result:` to iterate through all pages automatically.

Bulk update phone number profiles

Starts a bulk update of messaging-profile assignments for the supplied phone numbers. The response identifies the order used to monitor processing.

`POST /messaging_numbers_bulk_updates` — Required: `messaging_profile_id`, `numbers`

Optional: `assign_only` (boolean)

messaging_numbers_bulk_update = client.messaging_numbers_bulk_updates.create(
    messaging_profile_id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
    numbers=["+18880000000", "+18880000001", "+18880000002"],
)
print(messaging_numbers_bulk_update.data)

Returns: `failed` (array[string]), `order_id` (uuid), `pending` (array[string]), `record_type` (enum: messaging_numbers_bulk_update), `success` (array[string])

Retrieve bulk update status

Returns processing status and results for a bulk messaging-settings update order.

`GET /messaging_numbers_bulk_updates/{order_id}`

messaging_numbers_bulk_update = client.messaging_numbers_bulk_updates.retrieve(
    "order_id",
)
print(messaging_numbers_bulk_update.data)

Returns: `failed` (array[string]), `order_id` (uuid), `pending` (array[string]), `record_type` (enum: messaging_numbers_bulk_update), `success` (array[string])

List mobile phone numbers with messaging settings

Returns mobile phone numbers with their current messaging configuration.

`GET /mobile_phone_numbers/messaging`

page = client.mobile_phone_numbers.messaging.list()
page = page.data[0]
print(page.id)

Returns: `country_code` (string), `created_at` (date-time), `features` (object), `id` (string), `messaging_product` (string), `messaging_profile_id` (string | null), `organization_id` (string), `phone_number` (string), `record_type` (enum: messaging_phone_number, messaging_settings), `tags` (array[string]), `traffic_type` (string), `type` (enum: longcode), `updated_at` (date-time)

Retrieve a mobile phone number with messaging settings

Returns the messaging configuration for the specified mobile phone number.

`GET /mobile_phone_numbers/{id}/messaging`

messaging = client.mobile_phone_numbers.messaging.retrieve("550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
)
print(messaging.data)

Returns: `country_code` (string), `created_at` (date-time), `features` (object), `id` (string), `messaging_product` (string), `messaging_profile_id` (string | null), `organization_id` (string), `phone_number` (string), `record_type` (enum: messaging_phone_number, messaging_settings), `tags` (array[string]), `traffic_type` (string), `type` (enum: longcode), `updated_at` (date-time)

List phone numbers

Returns phone numbers associated with the account. Results support pagination, sorting, and filters for number attributes, status, source, connections, billing groups, emergency addresses, tags, and customer references.

`GET /phone_numbers`

page = client.phone_numbers.list()
page = page.data[0]
print(page.id)

Returns: `activated_at` (object), `billing_group_id` (string | null), `call_forwarding_enabled` (boolean), `call_recording_enabled` (boolean), `caller_id_name_enabled` (boolean), `cnam_listing_enabled` (boolean), `connection_id` (string | null), `connection_name` (string | null), `country_iso_alpha2` (string), `created_at` (date-time), `customer_reference` (string | null), `deletion_lock_enabled` (boolean), `emergency_address_id` (string | null), `emergency_enabled` (boolean), `emergency_status` (enum: active, deprovisioning, disabled, provisioning, provisioning-failed), `external_pin` (string | null), `hd_voice_enabled` (boolean), `id` (string), `inbound_call_screening` (enum: disabled, reject_calls, flag_calls), `messaging_campaign_id` (string | null), `messag
