Programmable Voice API

Learn how to make and receive phone calls programmatically using Restcomm API (Twilio Alternative) where you can use / bring your own carrier.

A Call represents a connection between a phone or user agent and Restcomm CPaaS. This may be inbound or outbound. The Calls list resource represents the set of phone calls originated and terminated from an account.


curl -X POST https://cloud.restcomm.com/restcomm/2012-04-24/Accounts/ACCOUNT_SID/Calls.json  \
   -d 'From=16175551212' \
   -d 'To=16172221212' 
   -d 'Url=https://ACCOUNT_SID:AUTH_TOKEN@mycompany.com/restcomm/demos/hello-play.xml' \
   -u 'YourAccountSid:YourAuthToken'

Making and receiving a call in JAVA

import java.net.URL;
import javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Base64;

public class JavaSampleClass {
   // Provide your Account Sid and Auth Token from your Console Account page
   public static final String ACCOUNT_SID = "my_ACCOUNT_SID";
   public static final String AUTH_TOKEN = "my_AUTH_TOKEN";


   public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      String userAndPass = ACCOUNT_SID + ':' + AUTH_TOKEN;
      String encoded = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(userAndPass.getBytes());

      URL url = new URL(("https://cloud.restcomm.com/restcomm/2012-04-24/Accounts/" + ACCOUNT_SID + "/Calls.json");
      HttpsURLConnection conn = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
      conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded);
      conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
      conn.setDoOutput(true);
      DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());

      // Update POST parameters accordingly
      os.writeBytes("From=16175551212&" +
        "To=16172221212" +
       "Url=https://ACCOUNT_SID:AUTH_TOKEN@mycompany.com/restcomm/demos/hello-play.xml");
      os.close();

      // Add your business logic below; response code can be obtained from 'conn.getResponseCode()' and input stream from 'conn.getInputStream()'
      ...
  }
}

You can also provide a list of events you are interested in getting notified on and provide a URL to receive them at. Here’s an example for receiving answered and completed events. The callbacks will be made at http://status.callback.url


curl -X POST https://cloud.restcomm.com/restcomm/2012-04-24/Accounts/ACCOUNT_SID/Calls.json  \
   -d 'From=16175551212' \
   -d 'To=16172221212' \
   -d 'Url=https://ACCOUNT_SID:AUTH_TOKEN@mycompany.com/restcomm/demos/hello-play.xml' \
   -d 'StatusCallbackEvent=answered,completed' \
   -u 'YourAccountSid:YourAuthToken'
