# Telnyx Account Access

Telnyx Account Access shows how to manage addresses, access IPs, authentication providers, billing groups, and integration secrets with curl against the Telnyx API. Use it when you need REST examples for account and access settings.

**Install:**

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

## README

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

# Telnyx Account Access - curl

## Installation

```text
# curl is pre-installed on macOS, Linux, and Windows 10+
```

## Setup

```bash
export TELNYX_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
```

All examples below use `$TELNYX_API_KEY` for authentication.

## 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:

```bash
# Check HTTP status code in response
response=$(curl -s -w "\n%{http_code}" \
  -X POST "https://api.telnyx.com/v2/messages" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"to": "+13125550001", "from": "+13125550002", "text": "Hello"}')

http_code=$(echo "$response" | tail -1)
body=$(echo "$response" | sed '$d')

case $http_code in
  2*) echo "Success: $body" ;;
  422) echo "Validation error — check required fields and formats" ;;
  429) echo "Rate limited — retry after delay"; sleep 1 ;;
  401) echo "Authentication failed — check TELNYX_API_KEY" ;;
  *)   echo "Error $http_code: $body" ;;
esac
```

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 endpoints return paginated results. Use `page[number]` and `page[size]` query parameters to navigate pages. Check `meta.total_pages` in the response.
