Alpha Feature: API Access

[kmheid]

I couldn't find it either, but I guessed the URL. Try going here after logging into vpanel:
https://secure.voipo.com/beta/api

Good call uhf! I'm guessing junior members don't have access to advanced features. I wonder what else we're missing out on?

Can status be added to failover and call forwarding

It is available on DND, can't figure why it's not on the others!
------------------------------------------------------
example1 - forwarding:
&action=fwd&arguments[0]=status

would return 0 if not forwarded
would return xxx-xxx-xxxx (10 digit phone number) if forwarded
--------------------------------------------------------
example2 - failover:
&action=fail&arguments[0]=status

would return 1 if failover set to vmail
would return 2 if failover set to busy signal
would return xxx-xxx-xxxx (10 digit phone number) if failover set to forward

Here is an interesting use of this api to forward your phone to wherever you are.

I typically use three browsers, home, mobile, and work.

I set each of my browsers default homepage to a simple php script on my server. The server reads the url to determine where i am, sets the Voipo forward, then finally redirects to my real homepage. All in a blink!

To identify where i am, I've added arguments at the end of the url. I also have basic security but removed it to simplify the example.

Example:
Home: fakeurl.com/voipo.php?loc=home
Work: fakeurl.com/voipo.php?loc=work
Mobile: fakeurl.com/voipo.php?loc=mobi

When I leave for work, I just open my mobile browser (which loads my custom page) and my Voipo phone line is forwarded to my cell phone automagically. When I get to work, same thing, open my work browser and the phones are forwarded to my desk phone, When I get home and open the browser there, it disables forwarding.

If I step out for any reason, opening the mobile browser instantly forwards to my cell.
