AGENT API DOCUMENT 2008-07-03
This document describes the functions of an API(Application Programming Interface)
for the VICIDIAL Agent screen. This functionality will be rather limited at first
and will be built upon as critical functions are identified and programmed into it.
There is also a new NON-agent API script, for more information on that, please
read the NON-AGENT_API.txt document.
API functions:
version - shows version and build of the API, along with the date/time
external_hangup - sends command to hangup the current phone call for one specific agent(Hangup Customer)
external_status - sends command to set the disposition for one specific agent and move on to next call
external_pause - sends command to pause/resume an agent now if not on a call, or pause after their next call if on call
external_dial - sends command to manually dial a number on the agent's screen
New scripts:
/agc/api.php - the script that is accessed to execute commands
Required variables for API calls:
# user - is the API user
# pass - is the API user password
# agent_user - is the user whose session that you want to affect
# source - description of what originated the API call (maximum 20 characters)
Example URL strings for API calls:
http://server/agc/api.php?function=version
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_hangup&value=1
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_status&value=A
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_pause&value=PAUSE

To hangup the call, disposition it and then pause the agent, do the following in order:
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_pause&value=PAUSE
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_hangup&value=1
http://server/agc/api.php?source=test&user=6666&pass=1234&agent_user=1000&function=external_status&value=A
