“sipgate API”, embed sipgate into your own applications
Source: snapvoip.blogspot.com
DÜSSELDORF, Germany, September 11 /PRNewswire/ — sipgate is the first VoIP provider to give customers direct access to its system via a designated, proprietary interface. At the same time, "sipgate API" provides a catalog of functions that - within the scope of the product stipulations - can be integrated into third party products and solutions at the discretion of the user. This allows customers and developers to use virtually any sipgate function for their own applications. Information on the interface and the source codes of several model programs are available at http://www.sipgate.co.uk/api.
In making API available, sipgate is taking a step no other telephony service has ever offered: developers are given the opportunity to customize the service portfolio of the company to their own needs. As a result, VoIP, SMS and fax systems can now be integrated into CRM systems and Office programs, for example. Their integration into commercial software, offering telephony and telephony administration to users directly, is also feasible. Website operators will find callback buttons and phone numbers featuring Click2Dial particularly helpful.
For transport protocol, "sipgate API" uses "XML-RPC," whose specifications are described in detailed documentation. Working with "sipgate API" is free with any sipgate account, regardless of the pricing plan selected. The API solution can be used without a special release.
To facilitate the initial use of the solution, sipgate also discloses the source code of Firefox extension "sipgate FFX." Along with the creation of the connection with Click2Dial, it also demonstrates requests for account status, missed calls, faxes and voice messages received. Moreover, sipgate supports .NET developers with "sipgate API .NET SDK," a convenient library that makes the "sipgate API" services easy to use. Several Perl examples and a KDE panel application, which along with "sipgate FFX" are subject to a GPL 2 license, complete the no-cost service portfolio. A mailing list allows developers to share experiences and tips.
