# Retell AI Multi Env Setup

## Overview

Implementation patterns for Retell AI multi env setup — voice agent and telephony platform.

## Prerequisites

- Completed `retellai-install-auth` setup

## Instructions

### Step 1: SDK Pattern

```typescript
import Retell from 'retell-sdk';
const retell = new Retell({ apiKey: process.env.RETELL_API_KEY! });

const agents = await retell.agent.list();
console.log(`Agents: ${agents.length}`);
```

## Output

- Retell AI integration for multi env setup

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| 401 Unauthorized | Invalid API key | Check RETELL_API_KEY |
| 429 Rate Limited | Too many requests | Implement backoff |
| 400 Bad Request | Invalid parameters | Check API documentation |

## Examples

### Keep development and production credentials separated

Create distinct Retell projects or explicitly named agent groups for
development, staging, and production. Each environment receives its own secret
reference and phone routing configuration, so a local test cannot accidentally
create a live call. Verify the separation by listing agents with the
development credential and confirming that production identifiers are absent;
promote configuration through a controlled CI environment instead of copying
keys between files.
