Telnyx Fax - Java

Installation

text

<!-- 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

java

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:

java

import com.telnyx.sdk.errors.TelnyxServiceException;

try {
    var result = client.messages().send(params);
} catch (TelnyxServiceException e) {
    System.err.println("API error " + e.statusCode() + ": " + e.getMessage());
    if (e.statusCode() == 422) {
        System.err.println("Validation error — check required fields and formats");
    } else if (e.statusCode() == 429) {
        // Rate limited — wait and retry with exponential backoff
        Thread.sleep(1000);
    }
}

Common error codes:

invalid API key,

insufficient permissions,

resource not found,

validation error (check field formats),

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()
```
.

Webhooks

Webhook Verification

Telnyx signs webhooks with Ed25519. Each request includes

telnyx-signature-ed25519

and

telnyx-timestamp

headers. Always verify signatures in production:

java

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");
  }
}

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.
