Introduction

The hosted Mediator Application Endpoint acts as an intermediary between phone numbers. The service has two primary abilities, bindings and dialouts. With bindings, incoming calls are routed through CarrierX to a destination phone number. In dialouts, the CarrierX system makes outgoing calls to two different parties, who are then brought into a call together.

Refer to the Mediator products page for quick start guides and video tutorials. These hold walk-through instructions on configuring Mediator endpoints, creating bindings, performing dialouts, and looking up DIDs.

Using the REST API

This section describes how to obtain credentials to use the API, what types of requests the system recognizes, and the format of the responses. It also holds reference information about pagination, filtering, and callbacks.

Using Postman

This documentation contains cURL commands that you will run in your terminal. Rather than use these commands, you can explore the API using Postman, a stand-alone client with a user-friendly interface. Postman is widely used for API development and allows you to test requests.

You will need to download the Postman client to your computer. To do so, visit the Postman website and click Download. Click Run in Postman to import this collection to the Postman app.

For more information, see our Getting Started with Postman Quick Start Guide.

Main Conventions

The following conventions are used in the sections, which contain the tables with objects attributes, their types, and descriptions:

Credentials

The following curl command will return a list of all of the endpoints of the CarrierX account associated with the login credentials. Use your Core API token in the query below. The endpoint login and password values are listed in the returned JSON object.

curl -X GET \
'https://api.carrierx.com/core/v2/endpoints' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 5ebc03d6-8b2b-44ad-bf65-72d4f1491dda'

The credentials of a specific endpoint are found in the properties attribute of the nested object. Locate the login and password values.

API requests require authentication. To obtain a CarrierX account and gain credentials, please submit a request through our Contact Us page. The Core API uses a bearer token, and the endpoint APIs (Conference, FlexML, and Mediator) use a login and password.

Prior to making requests, a Mediator Application Endpoint needs to be created. See the Mediator Endpoint quick start guide for step-by-step instructions on creating a Mediator endpoint.

Each of the application endpoints has different login and password values. Entering the Core API token credentials instead of the endpoint-specific credentials when working with the Conference, FlexML, or Mediator APIs will return the unauthorized error.

Requests

Sample request to create Conference endpoint.

curl -X POST \
'https://api.carrierx.com/core/v2/endpoints' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-binary '{"name":"my_conf", "type":"conference"}' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 5ebc03d6-8b2b-44ad-bf65-72d4f1491dda'

The requests in CarrierX API are made using the standard REST notation, typical for web services. This includes the URL, to which the request will be sent, the request method, the request related headers, and, optionally, a payload.

Request URL

The usual path to the API objects include the base URL to the API used with the object (Core API base URL for the objects used throughout the CarrierX products, or specific API base URLs used for FlexML, Mediator, or Conference), and the path to the object collections and the object items.

If the action targets the specific object, the path to it will include the object secure ID (SID), which allows to distinguish the targeted object from the other ones in the same collection.

The system only accepts HTTPS requests, and not HTTP requests.

Request Methods

CarrierX API uses five main verbs (methods) of REST over HTTP for the requests: POST, GET, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE. These methods are used to create the objects, get the information about the objects, modify the objects, and delete them.

CarrierX partners need to have special permissions (or scopes) to use API methods on various objects. Refer to the available_scopes table for the complete list of the scopes that define the partner’s permissions on objects and collections.

POST

The POST method is used to create new objects. When you create a new object, you usually need to specify at least some of the attributes for the object to be created in the request payload.

The successful POST request will return a 200 response with the serialized JSON copy of the created object.

GET

The GET method is used to view the information about the existing objects and their collections.

Generic GET requests return the list of all the objects (or collections) available for the request sent. Most of such GET requests can be used together with Pagination, Result Filtering, and Field Filtering.

GET requests aimed at a specific object require to use the object secure ID to be included as a part of the request path, and return the information about the specified object only. Most of such GET requests can be used together with Field Filtering.

The successful GET request will return a 200 response with the serialized JSON copy of the requested objects (or specific object).

PATCH/PUT

The PATCH/PUT methods are both used to modify the existing objects and their attributes. The difference between them is explained below.

Sample PATCH request to modify or add a new name record of the nested attributes object.

curl -X PATCH \
'https://api.carrierx.com/core/v2/partners/aeda835c-6627-4f4c-ac73-9edcae95640b' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-binary '{"attributes":{"name":"New Partner Name"}}' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 5ebc03d6-8b2b-44ad-bf65-72d4f1491dda'

The successful request returns the serialized JSON copy of the created object together with the nested object.

{
    "attributes": {
        "name": "New Partner Name"
    },
    ...,
    "partner_sid": "ed437757-001d-4ecc-aa5a-efdf5e50dba0"
}

Sample PATCH request to add a new name2 record of the nested attributes object of the same Partner object.

curl -X PATCH \
'https://api.carrierx.com/core/v2/partners/aeda835c-6627-4f4c-ac73-9edcae95640b' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-binary '{"attributes":{"name2":"New Partner Name 2"}}' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 5ebc03d6-8b2b-44ad-bf65-72d4f1491dda'

The successful request returns the serialized JSON copy of the created object together with the modified nested object.

{
    "attributes": {
        "name": "New Partner Name"
        "name2": "New Partner Name 2"
    },
    ...,
    "partner_sid": "ed437757-001d-4ecc-aa5a-efdf5e50dba0"
}

Sample PATCH request to modify the entire nested attributes object of the same Partner object.

curl -X PATCH \
'https://api.carrierx.com/core/v2/partners/aeda835c-6627-4f4c-ac73-9edcae95640b?nested_objects=replace' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-binary '{"attributes":{"name3":"New Partner Name 3"}}' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 5ebc03d6-8b2b-44ad-bf65-72d4f1491dda'

The successful request returns the serialized JSON copy of the created object together with the nested object.

{
    "attributes": {
        "name3": "New Partner Name 3"
    },
    ...,
    "partner_sid": "ed437757-001d-4ecc-aa5a-efdf5e50dba0"
}

PATCH is used to modify only some of the object attributes and does not require to send the entire object in the request payload. Only the attributes and their values that need to be modified can be sent in the request body.

Objects can have a complex structure and can contain other objects as part of them, i.e., nested inside them. When you use PATCH and want to modify the nested objects, PATCH follows the below rules to define what must be updated and how:

1. If the existing nested object contains the same record (by key), the existing record will be replaced with the new value, provided in the PATCH request. The other nested object records will remain unmodified.

2. If the existing nested object does not contain the same record, a new record will be added to the object. The other nested object records will remain unmodified.

3. If the existing nested object contains the same record and the value of the incoming record is null, then the existing record will be removed. The other nested object records will remain unmodified.

4. If the PATCH request contains nested_objects=replace as a query attribute, the whole nested object will be replaced with a new one (i.e., all the old records and their values will be removed and only the new ones will be added).

PUT is used to modify the complete object and require to send the entire object (together with the nested objects, if there are any) in the request payload.

Both PATCH and PUT requests are aimed at a specific object and require the object secure ID as a part of the request path.

The successful PATCH/PUT request will return a 200 response with the serialized JSON copy of the modified object.

DELETE

The DELETE method is used to delete the object targeted by its secure ID.

The successful DELETE request will return a 204 response code with an empty body.

Additional Request Parameters

All CarrierX API requests require authentication. Refer to the section above for more information about obtaining login credentials. Endpoint credentials are passed using HTTP basic authentication. Pagination and filtering parameters are passed as part of the query URL. Object fields and values are added to the request body.

Responses

All responses are returned in the JSON format with a status code. For common errors returned, refer to the HTTP Errors section.

Pagination

This request returns Call objects starting with the second record available, and returns a maximum of 4 records.

curl -X GET \
'https://api.carrierx.com/conference/v1/calls?offset=2&limit=4' \
-u '[your_user_name]:[your_password]'

To view records not included in the response, make a request to the URL value of the previous key.

{
  "count": 0,
  "has_more": false,
  "items": [],
  "limit": 4,
  "offset": 2,
  "pagination": {
      "previous": "https://api.carrierx.com/conference/v1/calls?limit=4&offset=0"
  },
  "total": 0
}

The three optional parameters for pagination are: offset, limit, and order. GET requests use these three parameters to dictate how many items should be skipped in the response, the amount of records to return, and in what order the results should appear.

offset determines the amount of items that are skipped in the response. If there are five records and the offset value is 2, the response will not include the first two records. Instead, it will return records for items three through five. The default value for offset is 0, meaning that the first existing item will appear first.

The parameter limit determines how many items are returned in the response. The default limit is 10, meaning that a maximum of ten items will be returned. If the number of items that exist exceeds the limit value, the has_more value in the response will be set to true. Responses also have a total field, which is the total amount of results that match the search criteria. Note that the field total will be null on objects that are uncountable, such as SMS messages.

The last parameter of pagination is order. Two values are accepted for this parameter: asc and desc. asc is short for ascending and is the default order. Enter the field name to be ordered followed by either asc or desc. For example, name desc will return names sorted in reverse-alphabetical order. Since the default is asc, entering just name will sort the results by name in alphabetical order.

The JSON response for a successful query using the pagination parameters offset, limit, and order will include a pagination parameter. The value of pagination will be empty if there are no more records existing outside of the queried parameters. If there are existing records outside of the query, the pagination value will include next or previous URLs. These URLs can be used to obtain the remainder of the records available without modifying the original query. Simply construct another GET request with the URL provided in this field.

Pagination Quick Reference

Result Filtering

This GET request returns Endpoint objects that meet the filter criteria. In this case, we are narrowing results to the conference endpoint type.

curl -X GET \
"https://api.carrierx.com/core/v2/endpoints?filter=type+eq+'conference'" \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer 5ebc03d6-8b2b-44ad-bf65-72d4f1491dda'

The following response includes all of the endpoints that fit the filter criteria.

{
    "count": 1,
    "has_more": false,
    "items": [
        {
            "addresses": [],
            "attributes": {},
            "capacity": 0,
            "endpoint_sid": "613325f8-bbb8-4599-b477-1b4fef3d017c",
            "name": "my_example_conference",
            "partner_sid": "6nelo9p3-3eef-4f75-8f48-fb98e99908be",
            "properties": {
                "account_sid": "bdrU77AFb-Y1sDwqqxkeb.M3LP7hSKYg",
                "api_url": "https://api.carrierx.com/conference/v1",
                "container_sid": "null",
                "login": "username",
                "password": "password"
            },
            "transformations": [],
            "type": "conference",
            "voip_token": null
        }
    ],
    "limit": 1000,
    "offset": 0,
    "pagination": {},
    "total": 1
}

The filter parameter is used to restrict or customize the JSON response. Operators can be combined for more specific searches, and are added to the query URL.

Result Filtering Quick Reference

Field Filtering

In the following, we request Endpoint objects without the properties field.

curl -X GET \
'https://api.carrierx.com/mediator/v1/bindings?exclude_fields=properties' \
-u '[your_user_name]:[your_password]'

The following response excludes the properties field from returned Endpoint objects.

{
    "count": 1,
    "has_more": false,
    "items": [
        {
            "addresses": [],
            "attributes": {},
            "capacity": 0,
            "endpoint_sid": "613325f8-bbb8-4599-b477-1b4fef3d017c",
            "name": "my_example_conference",
            "partner_sid": "6nelo9p3-3eef-4f75-8f48-fb98e99908be",
            "transformations": [],
            "type": "conference",
            "voip_token": null
        }
    ],
    "limit": 1000,
    "offset": 0,
    "pagination": {},
    "total": 1
}

There are two parameters associated with field filtering: include_fields, and exclude_fields. By default, the fields included in JSON responses are specific to the request made. These returned fields are explained in the Object section for that object.

Refer to the specific object to determine which fields can be included and excluded from the JSON responses.
include_fields and exclude_fields accept comma-separated strings as values.

HTTP Errors

The Mediator API uses the following HTTP error codes:

API Reference

The Mediator API has the following sections: Bindings, Dialouts, and DIDs.

• Use the Accounts object to retrieve information about the available Mediator endpoint accounts.
• Use the Binding object to create call forwarding to specific phone numbers.
• Create and modify Dialout objects, which make calls to phone numbers.
• The DID object holds modifiable data about phone numbers rented through CarrierX.

Accounts

The Account object holds the data associated with the Mediator API. It is used to view information about the partner that is related to the Mediator endpoint.

Account Object

This section describes the elements of the Account object. These fields and values make up the JSON object that gets returned with successful requests.

Sample Account object

This request returns data for an account, targeted by secure ID.

This request is enabled for Field Filtering.

Path Arguments

Bindings

Bindings enable call forwarding from one phone number to another. Bindings can be set to last for a specific amount of time or indefinitely. There are several types of bindings:

• Bindings that apply to all incoming callers. This type of binding can be created by setting wait_origination_did_ttl to -1 and not setting a value for origination_did.

• Bindings with one specified incoming phone number. A binding can also be restricted to a specific phone number, which means that the phone number specified will be subjected to the binding. This type of binding can be created by setting origination_did as a phone number in E.164 format.

• Bindings with one unspecified incoming phone number. To establish a binding with an incoming phone number that is not explicitly defined at the onset, a period of time can be designated during which the first phone number that calls will be assigned to the binding. Once the binding is associated with the first incoming caller, the binding will apply only to that caller. This type of binding can be created by setting wait_origination_did_ttl to a positive number and not setting a value for origination_did.

Bindings are useful in many scenarios. For example, during a marketing campaign that lasts one week, a binding can be set up to forward calls from a rented phone number given to consumers. After the week is over, the binding will expire. The company behind the marketing campaign will not have to subject themselves to calls continuing coming in regarding that specific campaign.

Binding Object

This section describes the elements of the Binding object. These fields and values make up the JSON object that gets returned with successful requests.

In this section, there is also information about the optional fields that can be added to further customize bindings.

Sample Binding object:

{
    "account_sid": "13e156f7-0d21-4ba6-9e32-c56dc2c6098f",
    "attributes": {
        "ringback":"moh"
    },
    "binding_sid": "05561bef-ce48-4823-a847-bf10f7837a42",
    "date_created": "2018-10-09T22:47:56.609Z",

        "phonenumber": "15162065346"
    },
    "wait_origination_did_ttl": -1
}

Attribute Object

Below are the additional fields that can be added to further customize bindings. All of these attributes are optional. Custom fields and values can also be added in the same fashion as the other binding attributes are. Add these attributes as a nested object.

Redirect DID Info Response Object

Create Binding

The following POST request creates a binding.

curl -X POST \
'https://api.carrierx.com/mediator/v1/bindings' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-binary '{"destination_did":"15162065338", "attributes": {"ringback":"moh"}}' \
-u '[your_user_name]:[your_password]'

A successful request will return a 200 response code with a serialized copy of the Binding object.

{
    "body": {
        "account_sid": "13e156f7-0d21-4ba6-9e32-c56dc2c6098f",
        "attributes": {
            "ringback":"moh"
        },
        "binding_sid": "05561bef-ce48-4823-a847-bf10f7837a42",
        "date_created": "2018-10-09T22:47:56.609Z",
        "destination_did": "15162065338",
        "dtmf": null,
        "maximum_ttl": -1,
        "name": "N/A",
        "origination_did": null,
        "redirect_did": "15162065346",
        "redirect_did_info": {
            "country_code": "USA",
            "e164_format": "+15162065346",

            "phonenumber": "15162065346"
        },
        "wait_origination_did_ttl": 300
    },
    "status": 200
}

This request creates a Binding object.

Query Arguments

Body Arguments

JSON representation of the fields and values of the Binding object to be created.

A required field to establish a binding is destination_did.

Refer to this table to view all fields that appear in the Binding object.

Binding Variants

When creating a binding without a redirect_did specified, an available DID on the account will be assigned as the redirect_did. If no DID can be assigned for the redirect_did, the 409 error will be returned.

The request will also fail if there is no available DID for the given origination_did.

Each binding has a maximum_ttl and wait_origination_did_ttl attribute. The maximum_ttl attribute is an optional field set to 3600 seconds by default, which can be changed to any duration of seconds. The binding will remain active until the value of this field reaches 0. After the duration of the maximum_ttl has elapsed, the binding will expire and be deleted. To extend the binding indefinitely, assign -1 as the field value for maximum_ttl.

Adding a value to origination_did will create a binding for that phone number only. If the origination_did value is not specified, the binding will apply to any incoming calling phone number. However, if the wait_origination_did_ttl field is set, the first phone number that calls in will be set as the origination_did and the binding will only apply to that phone number. If no call is received within the time period of wait_origination_did_ttl, the binding will expire and be deleted. To accept calls from any phone number before the maximum_ttl expires without binding the first phone number that calls, disable wait_origination_did_ttl by setting the field value to -1.

Path Arguments

Dialouts

Dialouts place a phone call to two phone numbers, and allow both people to speak to one another. Specifically, the redirect_did dials out to both participants in turns. Upon successfully reaching the parties, it brings them into a call together.

Dialout objects are not stored after the two parties have been connected. Only future dialouts can be searched for and modified. To schedule a future dialout, set the delay parameter to the number of seconds before the call will be set up. For example, if the delay parameter is set to 1000, the dialout will be initiated 1000 seconds from its creation.

Dialout Object

This section describes the elements of the Dialout object. These fields and values make up the JSON object that gets returned with successful requests.

In the second table in this section, there is information about the optional fields that can be added to further customize dialouts. These fields can be added when initially creating the dialout, or later using PATCH or PUT requests.

Sample Dialout object:

{
    "account_sid": "13e156f7-0d21-4ba6-9e32-c56dc2c6098f",
    "attributes": {
        "hide_origination_did": "true"
    },
    "date_created": "2018-10-09T20:40:57.675Z",
    "delay": 0,
    "dialout_sid": "15e93c0c-a0eb-4c5d-9b92-f8fd60b2def6",
    "redirect_did": "15162065337",
    "stage_one_destination_did": "15162065339",
    "stage_two_destination_did": "15162065338"
}

Attribute Object

Below are the additional binding fields that can be added to further customize dialouts. All of these attributes are optional. Custom attributes can be added to the JSON object in the same method as the built-in attributes. Add these attributes as a nested object.

Create Dialout

The following POST request creates a dialout.

curl -X POST \
'https://api.carrierx.com/mediator/v1/dialouts' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-binary '{"stage_one_destination_did":"15162065339", "stage_two_destination_did":"15162065338", "redirect_did":"15162065340", "attributes": {"ringback":"false"}}' \
-u '[your_user_name]:[your_password]'

A successful request will return a 200 response code with a serialized copy of the Dialout object.

{
    "body": {
        "account_sid": "13e156f7-0d21-4ba6-9e32-c56dc2c6098f",
        "attributes": {
          "hide_origination_did": "true",
          "ringback": "false"
        },
        "date_created": "2018-10-09T20:40:57.675Z",
        "delay": 0,
        "dialout_sid": "15e93c0c-a0eb-4c5d-9b92-f8fd60b2def6",
        "redirect_did": "15162065340",
        "stage_one_destination_did": "15162065339",
        "stage_two_destination_did": "15162065338"
    },
    "status": 200
}

This request creates a dialout.

The common workflow is as follows. The redirect_did dials out to the stage_one_destination_did number. When that phone call is answered, the redirect_did dials the stage_two_destination_did. If the second phone call is also answered, the bridge is established between both parties. The Dialout object is deleted once the call has been set up.

The delay parameter can be set to a particular number of seconds. This is the amount of time before the redirect_did will contact the two phone numbers. If not defined, delay will be set to 0, meaning that dialing will start as soon as the Dialout object is created.

The stage_one_destination_did, stage_two_destination_did, and redirect_did parameters should be unique for each Dialout object. There cannot be two Dialout objects with the same phone numbers existing at the same time. When scheduling several dialouts, ensure each one has unique values for stage_one_destination_did, stage_two_destination_did, and redirect_did.

Additional attributes can be added to a dialout to customize the object. Refer to the Dialout object for a list of the built-in attributes available. Custom attributes can also be included in the same way as the built-in attributes.

Body Arguments

JSON representation of the fields and values of the Dialout object to be created.

Required fields to create a dialout are:

• stage_one_destination_did
• stage_two_destination_did

Refer to this table to view all fields that appear in the Dialout object.
