I've been waiting what seems like forever for this API and apparently everyone has asked but no one has suggested (as was asked of us). I've been a reseller since the day the program was made available (or very close to it) but have stopped using Voipo since there is no API in place for resellers. Our business model kind of depends on us having API access.

Around 6 months ago I created a API that worked great actually, basically it's a script that acts like a human by accessing the CP and places the order, pulls minute usage information, retrieves a list of available numbers, etc. Although we never had any issues the primary problem to this approach is it's not stable. The moment something changes in the Voipo control panel (like the DID supplier and/or URL) our entire script stops working.

Long story short, the two main items the reseller program is missing are:

1. Custom SIP addresses (sip.mycompany.com). This I know is really simple for VoipO to make happen, please just get it done.

2. An API. What tools would I like to see on the API?

- Number Inventory - (Get a list of DID's available in a specified city / state.)
- e911 - (The ability to update the e911 address on the account)
- Purchase (Purchase a DID and create a new account with the ability to set the usage limits, needs to return a account ID for future reference)
- Usage - The ability to view the minute usage (and optionally the call detail) on a specific account ID.
- Status Toggle - (The ability to toggle the status of a account between active/suspended)
- Features - (The ability to enable/disable specific features [fax,teleblock,simulring,etc])
- Connections - Get a list of current registered devices.


Functions that can wait but would be great now:

- Cancel DID
- Cancel Account
- Set usage limits for domestic and international usage (outside of original Purchase)


It would be best if the API was built on REST instead of SOAP, primarily because SOAP seems to create many more support request from newbies who don't know it too well.
