# Telnyx Voice - Go

## Installation

```bash
go get github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go
```

## Setup

```go
import (
  "context"
  "fmt"
  "os"

  "github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go"
  "github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go/option"
)

client := telnyx.NewClient(
  option.WithAPIKey(os.Getenv("TELNYX_API_KEY")),
)
```

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:

```go
import "errors"

response, err := client.Calls.Dial(context.Background(), telnyx.CallDialParams{
		ConnectionID: "7267xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
		From:         "+18005550101",
		To: telnyx.CallDialParamsToUnion{
			OfString: telnyx.String("+18005550100"),
		},
	})
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:
      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).

## 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:** Use `ListAutoPaging()` for automatic iteration: `iter := client.Resource.ListAutoPaging(ctx, params); for iter.Next() { item := iter.Current() }`.

## 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](references/api-details.md) before writing code.
- Before using any operation in `## Additional Operations`, read [the optional-parameters section](references/api-details.md#optional-parameters) and [the response-schemas section](references/api-details.md#response-schemas).
- Before reading or matching webhook fields beyond the inline examples, read [the webhook payload reference](references/api-details.md#webhook-payload-fields).

## Core Tasks

### Dial an outbound call

`client.Calls.Dial()` — `POST /calls`

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `To` | string (E.164) | Yes | The DID or SIP URI to dial out to. |

| `BillingGroupId` | string (UUID) | No | Use this field to set the Billing Group ID for the call. |
| `ClientState` | string | No | Use this field to add state to every subsequent webhook. |
| ... | | | +48 optional params in [references/api-details.md](references/api-details.md) |

```go
	response, err := client.Calls.Dial(context.Background(), telnyx.CallDialParams{
		ConnectionID: "7267xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
		From:         "+18005550101",
		To: telnyx.CallDialParamsToUnion{
			OfString: telnyx.String("+18005550100"),
		},
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", response.Data)
```

Primary response fields:
- `response.Data.CallControlID`
- `response.Data.CallLegID`
- `response.Data.CallSessionID`
- `response.Data.IsAlive`
- `response.Data.RecordingID`
- `response.Data.CallDuration`

### Answer an inbound call

Primary inbound call-control command.

`client.Calls.Actions.Answer()` — `POST /calls/{call_control_id}/actions/answer`

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `CallControlId` | string (UUID) | Yes | Unique identifier and token for controlling the call |
| `BillingGroupId` | string (UUID) | No | Use this field to set the Billing Group ID for the call. |

		telnyx.CallActionAnswerParams{},
	)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", response.Data)
```

Primary response fields:
- `response.Data.Result`
- `response.Data.RecordingID`

### Transfer a live call

Common post-answer control path with downstream webhook implications.

`client.Calls.Actions.Transfer()` — `POST /calls/{call_control_id}/actions/transfer`

	}
	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", response.Data)
```

Primary response fields:
- `response.Data.Result`

### Webhook Verification

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

```go
// 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)
}
```

## Webhooks

These webhook payload fields are inline because they are part of the primary integration path.

## Additional Operations

Use the core tasks above first. The operations below are indexed here with exact SDK methods and required params; use [references/api-details.md](references/api-details.md) for full optional params, response schemas, and lower-frequency webhook payloads.
Before using any operation below, read [the optional-parameters section](references/api-details.md#optional-parameters) and [the response-schemas section](references/api-details.md#response-schemas) so you do not guess missing fields.
