Telnyx Porting Out - 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
  publicKey: process.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:

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, then retry the request (bounded exponential backoff)
    const retryAfter = err.headers?.['retry-after'] || 1;
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000));
    // ...retry the call here (give up after a few attempts)
  } 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');
    }
  }
  throw err; // Re-throw: 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

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

List portout requests

Returns the portout requests according to filters

`GET /portouts`

// Automatically fetches more pages as needed.
for await (const portoutDetails of client.portouts.list()) {
  console.log(portoutDetails.id);
}

Returns: `already_ported` (boolean), `authorized_name` (string), `carrier_name` (string), `city` (string), `created_at` (string), `current_carrier` (string), `end_user_name` (string), `foc_date` (string), `host_messaging` (boolean), `id` (string), `inserted_at` (string), `lsr` (array[string]), `phone_numbers` (array[string]), `pon` (string), `reason` (string | null), `record_type` (string), `rejection_code` (integer), `requested_foc_date` (string), `service_address` (string), `spid` (string), `state` (string), `status` (enum: pending, authorized, ported, rejected, rejected-pending, canceled), `support_key` (string), `updated_at` (string), `user_id` (uuid), `vendor` (uuid), `zip` (string)

List all port-out events

Returns a paginated list of port-out events on your account, such as status changes on port-out requests, with support for filtering.

`GET /portouts/events`

// Automatically fetches more pages as needed.
for await (const eventListResponse of client.portouts.events.list()) {
  console.log(eventListResponse);
}

Returns: `available_notification_methods` (array[string]), `created_at` (date-time), `event_type` (enum: portout.status_changed, portout.foc_date_changed, portout.new_comment), `id` (uuid), `payload` (object), `payload_status` (enum: created, completed), `portout_id` (uuid), `record_type` (string), `updated_at` (date-time)

Show a port-out event

Returns the details of a single port-out event, including its type and payload.

`GET /portouts/events/{id}`

const event = await client.portouts.events.retrieve('182bd5e5-6e1a-4fe4-a799-aa6d9a6ab26e');

console.log(event.data);

Returns: `available_notification_methods` (array[string]), `created_at` (date-time), `event_type` (enum: portout.status_changed, portout.foc_date_changed, portout.new_comment), `id` (uuid), `payload` (object), `payload_status` (enum: created, completed), `portout_id` (uuid), `record_type` (string), `updated_at` (date-time)

Republish a port-out event

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

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

await client.portouts.events.republish('182bd5e5-6e1a-4fe4-a799-aa6d9a6ab26e');

List eligible port-out rejection codes for a specific order

Given a port-out ID, list rejection codes that are eligible for that port-out

`GET /portouts/rejections/{portout_id}`

const response = await client.portouts.listRejectionCodes('329d6658-8f93-405d-862f-648776e8afd7');

console.log(response.data);

Returns: `code` (integer), `description` (string), `reason_required` (boolean)

List port-out related reports

List the reports generated about port-out operations.

`GET /portouts/reports`

// Automatically fetches more pages as needed.
for await (const portoutReport of client.portouts.reports.list()) {
  console.log(portoutReport.id);
}

Returns: `created_at` (date-time), `document_id` (uuid), `id` (uuid), `params` (object), `record_type` (string), `report_type` (enum: export_portouts_csv), `status` (enum: pending, completed), `updated_at` (date-time)

Create a port-out related report

Generate reports about port-out operations.

`POST /portouts/reports`

const report = await client.portouts.reports.create({
  params: { filters: {} },
  report_type: 'export_portouts_csv',
});
