Add Marker

Overview

Adds segment markers to any recorded call.

A segment of the recorded media can be marked automatically by your application. This way users can easily identify important segments of a recording in the web-based player of the system. This API allows to define multiple marker segments for a call.

A typical application is to mark segments where e.g. a voice contract was made over telephone.

You can use the function to start and end segments during the call, or define segment periods during or after the call.

The function is available as a HTTP GET or HTTP POST request.

extensionextension=8856Defines the phone number that is a participant of the call which the marker is added. The API will look for a call with the status (see the status field below), where the number is either the calling party or the called party. If the API, for some reason, finds more than 1 record, it will respond with error.The ccdr_id and the extension parameters are mandatoryhe
statusstatus=ongoing,next

Defines the status of the requested call. Comma separated values can be specified.The following valid values and value combinations apply:

  • ongoing - the API will look for an ongoing call, where the number is either the calling party or the called party
  • next - the API will look for the next call in the upcoming 1 minute time range after the API request, where the number is either the calling party or the called party
  • last - the API will look for the last finished call, where the number is either the calling party or the called party

mmodemmode=start

Marker mode can be one of the followings:

  • end - this mode ends a marker at the current time position in the call
