Telnyx Porting In - 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
  public_key: ENV["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:

begin
  result = client.messages.send_(to: "+13125550001", from: "+13125550002", text: "Hello")
rescue Telnyx::Errors::APIConnectionError
  puts "Network error — check connectivity and retry"
  raise
rescue Telnyx::Errors::RateLimitError
  # 429: rate limited — wait, then retry the request (bounded exponential backoff)
  sleep(1) # Check Retry-After header for actual delay
  # ...retry the call here (give up after a few attempts); otherwise re-raise:
  raise
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
  raise # A failed request must never look like success to the caller
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 }`.

Run a portability check

Runs a portability check, returning the results immediately.

`POST /portability_checks`

Optional: `phone_numbers` (array[string])

response = client.portability_checks.run(phone_numbers: ["+18005550101"])
puts(response)

Returns: `fast_portable` (boolean), `not_portable_reason` (string), `phone_number` (string), `portable` (boolean), `record_type` (string)

List all porting events

Returns a paginated list of porting-related events on your account, such as status changes on porting orders. Supports filtering and is useful for auditing or reconciling webhook deliveries.

`GET /porting/events`

page = client.porting.events.list

puts(page)

Returns: `available_notification_methods` (array[string]), `event_type` (enum: porting_order.deleted), `id` (uuid), `payload` (object), `payload_status` (enum: created, completed), `porting_order_id` (uuid)

Show a porting event

Returns the details of a single porting event, including its type and payload.

`GET /porting/events/{id}`

event = client.porting.events.retrieve("182bd5e5-6e1a-4fe4-a799-aa6d9a6ab26e")

puts(event)

Returns: `available_notification_methods` (array[string]), `event_type` (enum: porting_order.deleted), `id` (uuid), `payload` (object), `payload_status` (enum: created, completed), `porting_order_id` (uuid)

Republish a porting event

Republishes the specified porting event, triggering re-delivery of the corresponding webhook to your account.

`POST /porting/events/{id}/republish`

result = client.porting.events.republish("182bd5e5-6e1a-4fe4-a799-aa6d9a6ab26e")

puts(result)

List LOA configurations

Returns a paginated list of your LOA (Letter of Authorization) configurations. LOA configurations customize the company details and branding used on generated LOA documents.

`GET /porting/loa_configurations`

page = client.porting.loa_configurations.list

puts(page)

Returns: `address` (object), `company_name` (string), `contact` (object), `created_at` (date-time), `id` (uuid), `logo` (object), `name` (string), `organization_id` (string), `record_type` (string), `updated_at` (date-time)

Create a LOA configuration

Creates a new LOA configuration with your company details and branding for use when generating LOA documents for porting orders.

`POST /porting/loa_configurations`

loa_configuration = client.porting.loa_configurations.create(
  address: {city: "Austin", country_code: "US", state: "TX", street_address: "600 Congress Avenue", zip_code: "78701"},
  company_name: "Telnyx",
  contact: {email: "testing@client.com", phone_number: "+12003270001"},
  logo: {document_id: "182bd5e5-6e1a-4fe4-a799-aa6d9a6ab26e"},
  name: "My LOA Configuration"
)

puts(loa_configuration)

Returns: `address` (object), `company_name` (string), `contact` (object), `created_at` (date-time), `id` (uuid), `logo` (object), `name` (string), `organization_id` (string), `record_type` (string), `updated_at` (date-time)

Preview the LOA configuration parameters

Preview the LOA template that would be generated without need to create LOA configuration.

`POST /porting/loa_configurations/preview`

response = client.porting.loa_configurations.preview(
  address: {city: "Austin", country_code: "US", state: "TX", street_address: "600 Congress Avenue", zip_code: "78701"},
  company_name: "Telnyx",
  contact: {email: "testing@client.com", phone_number: "+12003270001"},
  logo: {document_id: "182bd5e5-6e1a-4fe4-a799-aa6d9a6ab26e"},
  name: "My LOA Configuration"
)

puts(response)

Retrieve a LOA configuration

Returns the details of a single LOA (Letter of Authorization) configuration by its identifier.

`GET /porting/loa_configurations/{id}`

loa_configuration = client.porting.loa_configura
