# Telnyx Verify - 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
begin
result = client.messages.send_(to: "+13125550001", from: "+13125550002", text: "Hello")
rescue Telnyx::Errors::APIConnectionError
puts "Network error — check connectivity and retry"
rescue Telnyx::Errors::RateLimitError
# 429: rate limited — wait and retry with exponential backoff
sleep(1) # Check Retry-After header for actual delay
rescue Telnyx::Errors::APIStatusError => e
puts "API error #{e.status}: #{e.message}"
if e.status == 422
puts "Validation error — check required fields and formats"
end
end
```
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 }`.
## Lookup phone number data
