Telnyx Oauth - JavaScript

Installation

npm install telnyx@6.74.2

Setup

import Telnyx from 'telnyx';

const client = new Telnyx({
  apiKey: process.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:

try {
  const result = await client.messages.send({ to: '+13125550001', from: '+13125550002', text: 'Hello' });
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof Telnyx.APIConnectionError) {
    console.error('Network error — check connectivity and retry');
  } else if (err instanceof Telnyx.RateLimitError) {
    // 429: rate limited — wait and retry with exponential backoff
    const retryAfter = err.headers?.['retry-after'] || 1;
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000));
  } else if (err instanceof Telnyx.APIError) {
    console.error(`API error ${err.status}: ${err.message}`);
    if (err.status === 422) {
      console.error('Validation error — check required fields and formats');
    }
  }
}

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:** List methods return an auto-paginating iterator. Use `for await (const item of result) { ... }` to iterate through all pages automatically.

Authorization server metadata

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server Metadata (RFC 8414)

`GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`

const response = await client.wellKnown.retrieveAuthorizationServerMetadata();

console.log(response.authorization_endpoint);

Returns: `authorization_endpoint` (uri), `code_challenge_methods_supported` (array[string]), `grant_types_supported` (array[string]), `introspection_endpoint` (uri), `issuer` (uri), `jwks_uri` (uri), `registration_endpoint` (uri), `response_types_supported` (array[string]), `scopes_supported` (array[string]), `token_endpoint` (uri), `token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported` (array[string])

Protected resource metadata

OAuth 2.0 Protected Resource Metadata for resource discovery

`GET /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`

const response = await client.wellKnown.retrieveProtectedResourceMetadata();

console.log(response.authorization_servers);

Returns: `authorization_servers` (array[string]), `resource` (uri)

OAuth authorization endpoint

OAuth 2.0 authorization endpoint for the authorization code flow

`GET /oauth/authorize`

await client.oauth.retrieveAuthorize({
  client_id: '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000',
  redirect_uri: 'https://example.com',
  response_type: 'code',
});

Get OAuth consent token

Retrieve details about an OAuth consent token

`GET /oauth/consent/{consent_token}`

const oauth = await client.oauth.retrieve('consent_token');

console.log(oauth.data);

Returns: `client_id` (string), `logo_uri` (uri), `name` (string), `policy_uri` (uri), `redirect_uri` (uri), `requested_scopes` (array[object]), `tos_uri` (uri), `verified` (boolean)

Create OAuth grant

Create an OAuth authorization grant

`POST /oauth/grants` — Required: `allowed`, `consent_token`

const response = await client.oauth.grants({ allowed: true, consent_token: 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.example' });

console.log(response.redirect_uri);

Returns: `redirect_uri` (uri)

Token introspection

Introspect an OAuth access token to check its validity and metadata

`POST /oauth/introspect` — Required: `token`

const response = await client.oauth.introspect({ token: 'eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.example' });

console.log(response.client_id);

Returns: `active` (boolean), `aud` (string), `client_id` (string), `exp` (integer), `iat` (integer), `iss` (string), `scope` (string)

JSON Web Key Set
