Before you start, enable API access on the PBX first.

Cross-region Resource Sharing (CORS) is a browser security feature that restricts cross-region HTTP requests that are initiated from scripts running in the browser. If you can not access API and receive an error message indicating the cross-region request was blocked, you need to enable CORS. This topic describes how to enable CORS for a simple request.

If an IP exceeds the allowed failed API login attempts, PBX will block the IP and tag the blocked IP as API-IP. You can delete the blocked API IP if the IP is trusted.

Generally, call failure event will appear in the response message of the API request. In certain circumstances, the PBX will send the report. Call failure is defined as calls that are failed to connect. Failure of calls initiated manually and by the API will both be reported.

If the trunk's API has Control Inbound Call Answering enabled, then whenever there's a call to this trunk, the PBX will send an INVITE event to the application server.

If the trunk's API has Control Inbound Call Destination enabled, then when the trunk answers the call, the PBX will send an Incoming event to the application server.
