Archiving Files

This repository contains scripts for archiving old files (such as recordings or faxes) stored by Telnyx.

Archiving Old Faxes

Telnyx retains files sent or received via its Programmable Faxes service for 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted. To preserve these files, the repository provides a script (fax_archiving_script.py) to archive them from Telnyx storage.

Preparation Steps

Before using the script, follow these steps:

1. API Key Configuration:

Provide your Telnyx API key in the script on line 8. Refer to the Telnyx API documentation for instructions on how to obtain your API key.

2. Bucket Setup:

Set up a bucket in Telnyx's distributed storage to hold the archived files. Follow the Telnyx Cloud Storage Quick Start Guide for detailed instructions.

3. Bucket Configuration:

In the script, specify the following details:

• bucket name (line 9)
• and region (line 10)

4. Install Dependencies:

Install the required boto3 library using pip:  

  pip install boto3

Running the Script

To run the script, use the following command:

python3 fax_archiving_script.py
