# Telnyx Voice Gather - Go
## Installation
```bash
go get github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go
```
## Setup
```go
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go"
"github.com/team-telnyx/telnyx-go/option"
)
client := telnyx.NewClient(
option.WithAPIKey(os.Getenv("TELNYX_API_KEY")),
)
```
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:
```go
import "errors"
result, err := client.Messages.Send(ctx, params)
if err != nil {
var apiErr *telnyx.Error
if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
switch apiErr.StatusCode {
case 422:
fmt.Println("Validation error — check required fields and formats")
case 429:
// Rate limited — wait and retry with exponential backoff
fmt.Println("Rate limited, retrying...")
default:
fmt.Printf("API error %d: %s\n", apiErr.StatusCode, apiErr.Error())
}
} else {
fmt.Println("Network error — check connectivity and retry")
}
}
```
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).

## Webhooks
### Webhook Verification
Telnyx signs webhooks with Ed25519. Each request includes `telnyx-signature-ed25519`
and `telnyx-timestamp` headers. Always verify signatures in production:
```go
// In your webhook handler:
func handleWebhook(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
body, _ := io.ReadAll(r.Body)
event, err := client.Webhooks.Unwrap(body, r.Header)
if err != nil {
http.Error(w, "Invalid signature", http.StatusBadRequest)
return
}
// Signature valid — event is the parsed webhook payload
fmt.Println("Received event:", event.Data.EventType)
w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
}
```
The following webhook events are sent to your configured webhook URL.
All webhooks include `telnyx-timestamp` and `telnyx-signature-ed25519` headers for Ed25519 signature verification. Use `client.webhooks.unwrap()` to verify.
