Connect to Telnyx

Connecting to the Telnyx LiveKit platform is a URL and credential swap. No code changes.

Get your credentials

Complete Quickstart — Step 1 to set your environment variables and register with the platform. That one-time setup covers everything you need to connect.

Already set up? Just make sure your LIVEKIT_URL, LIVEKIT_API_KEY, and LIVEKIT_API_SECRET are exported in your shell.

SDK configuration

Server SDKs (Python, Go, Node.js) just need the URL and credentials:

from livekit.api import LiveKitAPI

api = LiveKitAPI(
    url="https://nyc1.livekit-telnyx.com",
    api_key="<your-telnyx-api-key>",
    api_secret="<your-livekit-api-secret>",
)

If you’re migrating from LiveKit Cloud or self-hosted, change the three environment variables and everything else stays the same.
