# Telnyx 10DLC - Python
## Installation
```bash
pip install telnyx
```
## Setup
```python
import os
from telnyx import Telnyx
client = Telnyx(
api_key=os.environ.get("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:
```python
import telnyx
try:
telnyx_brand = client.messaging_10dlc.brand.create(
country="US",
display_name="ABC Mobile",
email="support@example.com",
entity_type="PRIVATE_PROFIT",
vertical="TECHNOLOGY",
)
except telnyx.APIConnectionError:
print("Network error — check connectivity and retry")
except telnyx.RateLimitError:
import time
time.sleep(1) # Check Retry-After header for actual delay
except telnyx.APIStatusError as e:
print(f"API error {e.status_code}: {e.message}")
if e.status_code == 422:
print("Validation error — check required fields and formats")
```
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
- **Pagination:** List methods return an auto-paginating iterator. Use `for item in page_result:` to iterate through all pages automatically.
## Operational Caveats
- 10DLC is sequential: create the brand first, then submit the campaign, then attach messaging infrastructure such as the messaging profile.
- Registration calls are not enough by themselves. Messaging cannot use the campaign until the assignment step completes successfully.
- Treat registration status fields as part of the control flow. Do not assume the campaign is send-ready until the returned status fields confirm it.
## 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).
- Before reading or matching webhook fields beyond the inline examples, read [the webhook payload reference](references/api-details.md#webhook-payload-fields).
## Core Tasks

### Submit a campaign
Campaign submission is the compliance-critical step that determines whether traffic can be provisioned.

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `brand_id` | string (UUID) | Yes | Alphanumeric identifier of the brand associated with this ca... |

print(telnyx_campaign_csp.brand_id)
```

### Assign a messaging profile to a campaign
Messaging profile assignment is the practical handoff from registration to send-ready messaging infrastructure.
`client.messaging_10dlc.phone_number_assignment_by_profile.assign()` — `POST /10dlc/phoneNumberAssignmentByProfile`
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
