Request/Response model

Overview

Use this request to pick up a phone call that is received by another phone terminal.

The request identifies the phone call using the User Id, Extension number and PhoneCall Id. If successful, it returns the PhoneCall that was updated.

The request is made by an App that is registered to a User account.

To pick up phone calls in a desired context, issue a HTTP PUT request:

Model
HTTP-Method       = "PUT"
URI-Fragment      = "/uapi/phoneCalls/" User-Id "/" Extension-Number "/" PhoneCall-Id
Query-Parameters  = null 
Request-Payload   = PhoneCallAction

Return-Object     = PhoneCall
Example
PUT /uapi/phoneCalls/@me/0003*210/b817d2618fe6f1804333
HTTP/1.1
HOST uapi.voipnow.com
Content Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token

{
  "action":"PickUp",
  "sendCallTo":"0003*024", 
  "callerId:"John Doe <42420042>",
  "waitForPickup":"20" ,
  "phoneCallViewId":"01"
}

Example

Below you can find an example that will help you understand the request and the response.

This example picks up the phone call that is received by Extension 0003*210. The phone call is then sent to the Extension 0003*024. The caller Id displayed to 0003*024 is the one set in the request: John Doe <42420042>.

The phoneCallViewId is set to 01, identifying the call that occurs on 0003*210 at the moment.

The request is made by an App on behalf of a User.

HTTP Request
PUT /uapi/phoneCalls/@me/0003*210/b817d2618fe6f1804333
HTTP/1.1
HOST uapi.voipnow.com
Content Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer token

{
  "action":"PickUp",
  "sendCallTo":"0003*024", 
  "callerId:"John Doe <42420042>",
  "waitForPickup":"20" ,
  "phoneCallViewId":"01"
}

Assuming that the request has been successful, the Service sends the following answer:

HTTP Response
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
...
  
{"id":"b817d2618fe6f1804333",
  "extension":"0003*210",
  "link":{"self":"https://x.x.x.x//uapi/phoneCalls/12/0003*210/b817d2618fe6f1804333"}
}

Use the link returned by the Service to list the details of the PhoneCall making a List PhoneCalls request. The list request outputs the following:

HTTP Response
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
...
