go get github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go"

)
client := telnyx.NewClient(
option.WithAPIKey(os.Getenv("TELNYX_API_KEY")),
)
All examples below assume client is already initialized as shown above.
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 "errors"
result, err := client.Messages.Send(ctx, params)
if err != nil {
var apiErr *telnyx.Error
if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
switch apiErr.StatusCode {
case 422:
fmt.Println("Validation error — check required fields and formats")
case 429:
// Rate limited — wait and retry with exponential backoff
fmt.Println("Rate limited, retrying...")
default:
fmt.Printf("API error %d: %s\n", apiErr.StatusCode, apiErr.Error())
}
} else {
fmt.Println("Network error — check connectivity and retry")
}
}
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).
Call forking allows you to stream the media from a call to a specific target in realtime. This stream can be used to enable realtime audio analysis to support a
variety of use cases, including fraud detection, or the creation of AI-generated audio responses. Requests must specify either the target attribute or the rx and tx attributes.
POST /calls/{call_control_id}/actions/fork_start
Optional: client_state (string), command_id (string), rx (string), stream_type (enum: decrypted), tx (string)
response, err := client.Calls.Actions.StartForking(
context.Background(),
"call_control_id",
telnyx.CallActionStartForkingParams{},
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", response.Data)
Returns: result (string)
Stop forking a call. Expected Webhooks:
call.fork.stoppedPOST /calls/{call_control_id}/actions/fork_stop
Optional: client_state (string), command_id (string), stream_type (enum: raw, decrypted)
response, err := client.Calls.Actions.StopForking(

if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", response.Data)
Returns: result (string)
Start streaming the media from a call to a specific WebSocket address or Dialogflow connection in near-realtime. Audio will be delivered as base64-encoded RTP payload (raw audio), wrapped in JSON payloads. Please find more details about media streaming messages specification under the link.

Telnyx signs webhooks with Ed25519. Each request includes telnyx-signature-ed25519
and telnyx-timestamp headers. Always verify signatures in production:
// In your webhook handler:
func handleWebhook(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
body, _ := io.ReadAll(r.Body)
event, err := client.Webhooks.Unwrap(body, r.Header)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Invalid signature", http.StatusBadRequest)
return
}
// Signature valid — event is the parsed webhook payload
fmt.Println("Received event:", event.Data.EventType)
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
}
The following webhook events are sent to your configured webhook URL.
All webhooks include telnyx-timestamp and telnyx-signature-ed25519 headers for Ed25519 signature verification. Use client.webhooks.unwrap() to verify.
