Auto-bridge open using API

[srajandr]

Can we open a bridge using some API , providing credentials of host.. instead of logging through browser

[Flavio Miranda]

Hi @srajandr

In which device? First such device needs to permit API integration, second the API framework needs to have this command available.

 Can you provide more detail?

Hi Miranda, 

        Thanks for the reply. We have a requirement like to open the bridge automatically from a server by passing the host id and password as parameter to the api . 

      So that, even if the host is not available the bridge will get opened and the attendees can join the meeting and discuss.

Yeah, but on each system you intend to implement this?  Is it a Cisco solution?

 I´d say that in a open source platform like Asterisk this can be done but not sure with vendor solution. 

 Cisco has been implementing API in many platform, just need to make sure what you are using for this.

Hi Miranda,

      I will call this api in the server so whenever a severity one issue comes to our monitoring server, this script should open the webex bridge automatically.

[Flavio Miranda]

It is possible. You can use API and Webex from a server. 

But, this requires some coding to get done. If you are good at Java, PHP, .NET, this is doable.

Hi Miranda,

          Could you please just give an reference or something which you might have for opening a bridge automatically using code with some api

[Flavio Miranda]

I don't have anything for now but If I find something I can share with you. However, I don't believe this is something simple. The Webex API is well documented as you can see on the link I shared, but, it is also necessary a lot of code to perform API calls from a server to Webex. API itself doesn't do too much.

 As I said, it is doable but it is not trivial.

We need to open the bridge automatically from a linux server without using browser by passing host id and password in the api

Hi @srajandr

 I have found this doc which you can refer to. I believe all you need is there.

There's also this forum where you can further discuss about your specific doubts

Good Luck!
