Old API

The legacy ITFlow API is accessed at /api.php. We are working on moving all functionality into the new API at /api/. The legacy API has the following features:

  • Caller ID lookup (Great for integrating with your phone system like FreePBX, and having your VOIP phone return the client's name thats calling in) - /api.php?api_key=[API_KEY]&cid=[PHONE_NUMBER] - Returns a name
  • XML Phonebook Download - /api.php?api_key=[API_KEY]&phonebook
  • Client Email (great for mailing lists) - /api.php?api_key=[API_KEY]&client_emails - Returns Client Name - Email Address
  • Account Balance for Client (can be integrated into multiple places for example in FreePBX Press 3 to check account balance, please enter your client ID your balance is) - /api.php?api_key=[API_KEY]&client_id=[CLIENT_ID] - Returns Account Balance
  • Add new asset for a client - /api.php?api_key=[API_KEY]&client_id=ClientID&add_asset=Name&type=[Desktop|Laptop|Server]&make=Make&model=Model&serial=Serial&os=OS
    • Required: api_key, client_id, add_asset (name)
