Quickstart - Number Reservations

| cURL | Python |


cURL

Using the Telnyx Number Reservations endpoint you can reserve numbers for 1 day. You can also extend your reservations for a further day, all without purchasing a single number. Now you can maintain a Telnyx number inventory for free!

Check out the Development Environment Setup guide to set up the Telnyx Python SDK and your development environment for this guide.

Reserve a Number

First, you'll need to search for the number to make sure it's available. Once you've done this, you're ready to reserve.

Note

Don't forget to update YOUR_API_KEY here.

curl -X POST \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Accept: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
--data '{
"phone_numbers": [{"phone_number": "+18665552368"}]
}' \
https://api.telnyx.com/v2/number_reservations
Note

The above is a test number. You will have to replace the number field with a number from one of your search results.

Congrats, you’ve just reserved your first phone number using the Telnyx API.
