telnyx-numbers-ruby
Search, order, and manage phone numbers by location, features, and coverage.
Best use case
telnyx-numbers-ruby is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Search, order, and manage phone numbers by location, features, and coverage.
Teams using telnyx-numbers-ruby should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Telnyx Numbers - Ruby
## Installation
```bash
gem install telnyx
```
## Setup
```ruby
require "telnyx"
client = Telnyx::Client.new(
api_key: ENV["TELNYX_API_KEY"], # This is the default and can be omitted
)
```
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:
```ruby
available_phone_numbers = client.available_phone_numbers.list
puts(available_phone_numbers)
```
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 `.auto_paging_each` for automatic iteration: `page.auto_paging_each { |item| puts item.id }`.
## 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).
## Core Tasks
### Search available phone numbers
Number search is the entrypoint for provisioning. Agents need the search method, key query filters, and the fields returned for candidate numbers.
`client.available_phone_numbers.list()` — `GET /available_phone_numbers`
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `filter` | object | No | Consolidated filter parameter (deepObject style). |
```ruby
available_phone_numbers = client.available_phone_numbers.list
puts(available_phone_numbers)
```
Response wrapper:
- items: `available_phone_numbers.data`
- pagination: `available_phone_numbers.meta`
Primary item fields:
- `phone_number`
- `record_type`
- `quickship`
- `reservable`
- `best_effort`
- `cost_information`
### Create a number order
Number ordering is the production provisioning step after number selection.
`client.number_orders.create()` — `POST /number_orders`
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `phone_numbers` | array[object] | Yes | |
| `connection_id` | string (UUID) | No | Identifies the connection associated with this phone number. |
| `messaging_profile_id` | string (UUID) | No | Identifies the messaging profile associated with the phone n... |

- `number_order.data.status`
- `number_order.data.phone_numbers_count`
- `number_order.data.requirements_met`

- `number_order.data.connection_id`
### Check number order status
Order status determines whether provisioning completed or additional requirements are still blocking fulfillment.
`client.number_orders.retrieve()` — `GET /number_orders/{number_order_id}`
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `number_order_id` | string (UUID) | Yes | The number order ID. |
```ruby
number_order = client.number_orders.retrieve("550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000")
puts(number_order)
```
Primary response fields:
