Telnyx Fax - Java

Installation

<dependency> <groupId>com.telnyx.sdk</groupId> <artifactId>telnyx-java</artifactId> <version>6.26.0</version> </dependency>

// Gradle implementation("com.telnyx.sdk:telnyx-java:6.26.0")

Setup

import com.telnyx.sdk.client.TelnyxClient; import com.telnyx.sdk.client.okhttp.TelnyxOkHttpClient;

TelnyxClient client = TelnyxOkHttpClient.fromEnv();

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:

import com.telnyx.sdk.errors.TelnyxServiceException;

try { var result = client.messages().send(params); } catch (TelnyxServiceException e) { System.err.println("API error " + e.statusCode() + ": " + e.getMessage()); if (e.statusCode() == 422) { System.err.println("Validation error — check required fields and formats"); } else if (e.statusCode() == 429) { // Rate limited — wait and retry with exponential backoff Thread.sleep(1000); } }

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: List methods return a page. Use .autoPager() for automatic iteration: for (var item : page.autoPager()) { ... } . For manual control, use .hasNextPage() and .nextPage() .

List all Fax Applications

This endpoint returns a list of your Fax Applications inside the 'data' attribute of the response. You can adjust which applications are listed by using filters. Fax Applications are used to configure how you send and receive faxes using the Programmable Fax API with Telnyx.

Webhooks

Webhook Verification

Telnyx signs webhooks with Ed25519. Each request includes telnyx-signature-ed25519

and telnyx-timestamp headers. Always verify signatures in production:

import com.telnyx.sdk.core.UnwrapWebhookParams; import com.telnyx.sdk.core.http.Headers;

// In your webhook handler (e.g., Spring — use raw body): @PostMapping("/webhooks") public ResponseEntity<String> handleWebhook( @RequestBody String payload, HttpServletRequest request) { try { Headers headers = Headers.builder() .put("telnyx-signature-ed25519", request.getHeader("telnyx-signature-ed25519")) .put("telnyx-timestamp", request.getHeader("telnyx-timestamp")) .build(); var event = client.webhooks().unwrap( UnwrapWebhookParams.builder() .body(payload) .headers(headers) .build()); // Signature valid — process the event System.out.println("Received webhook event"); return ResponseEntity.ok("OK"); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("Webhook verification failed: " + e.getMessage()); return ResponseEntity.badRequest().body("Invalid signature"); } }

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.
