# Telnyx Account

Telnyx Account provides JavaScript SDK examples for managing balance, invoices, payment preferences, audit logs, and detail records. Use it when you need to call Telnyx account and billing APIs from code.

**Install:**

```bash
npx degit https://github.com/team-telnyx/ai/tree/main/skills/telnyx-account-javascript ~/.claude/skills/telnyx-account-javascript
```

## README

<!-- Auto-generated from Telnyx OpenAPI specs. Do not edit. -->

# Telnyx Account - JavaScript

## Installation

```bash
npm install telnyx@6.74.2
```

## Setup

```javascript
import Telnyx from 'telnyx';

const client = new Telnyx({
  apiKey: process.env['TELNYX_API_KEY'], // This is the default and can be omitted
});
```

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:

```javascript
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 and retry with exponential backoff
    const retryAfter = err.headers?.['retry-after'] || 1;
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, retryAfter * 1000));
  } 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');
    }
  }
}
```

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 Audit Logs

  console.log(auditEventListResponse.id);

  start_date: '2025-05-01',
});

console.log(chargesSummary.data);
```
