Telnyx Voice - Java

Installation

<!-- Maven -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.telnyx.sdk</groupId>
    <artifactId>telnyx</artifactId>
    <version>6.36.0</version>
</dependency>

// Gradle
implementation("com.telnyx.sdk:telnyx:6.36.0")

Setup

import com.telnyx.sdk.client.TelnyxClient;
import com.telnyx.sdk.client.okhttp.TelnyxOkHttpClient;

TelnyxClient client = TelnyxOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

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 com.telnyx.sdk.models.calls.CallDialParams;
import com.telnyx.sdk.models.calls.CallDialResponse;
CallDialParams params = CallDialParams.builder()
    .connectionId("7267xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")
    .from("+18005550101")
    .to("+18005550100")
    .build();
CallDialResponse response = client.calls().dial(params);

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 a page. Use .autoPager() for automatic iteration: for (var item : page.autoPager()) { ... }. For manual control, use .hasNextPage() and .nextPage().

Operational Caveats

• Call Control is event-driven. After dial() or an inbound webhook, issue follow-up commands from webhook handlers using the call_control_id in the event payload.
• Outbound and inbound flows are different: outbound calls start with dial(), while inbound calls must be answered from the incoming webhook before other commands run.
• A publicly reachable webhook endpoint is required for real call control. Without it, calls may connect but your application cannot drive the live call state.

Reference Use Rules

Do not invent Telnyx parameters, enums, response fields, or webhook fields.

• If the parameter, enum, or response field you need is not shown inline in this skill, read references/api-details.md before writing code.
• Before using any operation in ## Additional Operations, read the optional-parameters section and the response-schemas section.
• Before reading or matching webhook fields beyond the inline examples, read the webhook payload reference.

Webhook Verification

Telnyx signs webhooks with Ed25519. Each request includes telnyx-signature-ed25519 and telnyx-timestamp headers. Always verify signatures in production:

import com.telnyx.sdk.core.UnwrapWebhookParams;
import com.telnyx.sdk.core.http.Headers;

// In your webhook handler (e.g., Spring — use raw body):
@PostMapping("/webhooks")
public ResponseEntity<String> handleWebhook(
    @RequestBody String payload,
    HttpServletRequest request) {
  try {
    Headers headers = Headers.builder()
        .put("telnyx-signature-ed25519", request.getHeader("telnyx-signature-ed25519"))
        .put("telnyx-timestamp", request.getHeader("telnyx-timestamp"))
        .build();
    var event = client.webhooks().unwrap(
        UnwrapWebhookParams.builder()
            .body(payload)
            .headers(headers)
            .build());
    // Signature valid — process the event
    System.out.println("Received webhook event");
    return ResponseEntity.ok("OK");
  } catch (Exception e) {
    System.err.println("Webhook verification failed: " + e.getMessage());
    return ResponseEntity.badRequest().body("Invalid signature");
  }
}
