The Phonebar API

The XCALLY Phonebar provides CTI capabilities to call external application on one hand and many API to allow your applications to control the phonebar and perform several operations.

API are easy to be called via http requests. The API answers are available via http JSON standard requests (XML is not supported).

Endpoints are documented with the HTTP method for the request and a partial resource identifier.

Example:
GET /api/calls

Prepend your Motion Phonebar URL to the resource identifier to get the full endpoint URL:
http://domain:port/api/calls

Default port is the 9888 (you can change the port inside the Motion GUI section agent/motiobar/advanced)

Curly braces, {}, indicate values you have to supply.

Example:
GET /api/answer/{sessionId}

The examples in the docs are cURL statements. You can run the statements on a command line to try out different API requests.
