Set Up: Telnyx Development Environment

Get up and running with our Client libraries and start developing your Telnyx integration.

Integrating Telnyx into your app or website can begin as soon as you create a Telnyx account, requiring only two steps:

  1. Obtain your API key so Telnyx can authenticate your integration’s API requests
  2. Install a Client library so your integration can interact with the Telnyx API

Step 1: Obtain your API keys

Telnyx authenticates your API requests using your account’s API Key. If you do not include your key when making an API request, or use one that is incorrect or outdated, Telnyx returns an error.

Your API Keys are available in the "Auth" section of the Portal. Once you create an API Key you must save it for future use. You will only see your API Key once, on creation.

We include YOUR_API_KEY in our code examples. Replace this text with your own API Key.

If you cannot see your API keys in the Portal, this means you do not have access to them. Only Telnyx account owners can access API Keys.

Step 2: Install a Client library

You'll need to ensure that you have Python installed on your computer. If Python isn’t installed, follow the official installation instructions for your operating system to install it. You can check this by running the following:

python --version

You’ll need to have pip installed. If pip isn’t installed, follow the official pip installation instructions for your operating system to install it. You can check this by running:

pip --version

Install the Telnyx Python SDK by running the following:

pip install telnyx

Check out the Python API docs, or see the source on GitHub.
