Fax API

Is there a fax API yet?

[Vodia PBX]

Everything that can be done from the web interface has an API. However I would keep expectations low, the PBX is not a FAX server. If you intend to automatically send FAX, I would use a FAX server of the API of the trunk provider. Some trunk providers offer a FAX API that can be used using standard HTTP requests and they even take are about converting documents.

I opened a support ticket, can we know some details of the API behind the web interface?

Any guidance would be helpful.

is there an api we can initiate via server side through terminal?

or is there a fax queue I can insert to and expect Vodia to handle that.

also how can we get status of a fax?

The API is between the front end and the back end—this is not following any standards except REST and JSON. It is still not clear what the goal is here? Do you want to write a FAX server?

Trying to integrate customer software with the PBX. i want to make a connector between the two so its automated. 

but i need to check status of the fax, if its in queue, sent, failed. even if its from the server, just tell me where the logs for that fax will be. or if there is a way to send a fax from the server side, i can do that as well. my only other solution is to roll spin a PBX (asterisks or freeswitch) and call the functions, but i dont want to have everything seperated. and its one more server to maintain.

when sending a fax from the web gui, there is no ID or anything, we dont know if it failed or went through.
