Conference api in webex calling

[exjun]

Hello, Team.

Do we have conference api in webex calling ? I cannot find anything related in the devnet site. If it is not supported yet,  is there a workaround ?

XSI does work to create a conference call, but you have to have XSI enabled for your Webex Org to use it. As @dtibbe mentions, you have to hold the first call, initiate the second one, and then complete the conference with the two Call IDs. With XSI that can all be done pretty quickly, but the the trick with the conference is that you can't do it until the second party answers. The "easiest" way is to just retry the conference until it works, but you could also query the call status or, if you know how, watch the Xsi-Events channel to see the CallUpdatedEvent for the second call when it is answered.

Could be, but I've never tried.

The /calls/conference action would be the one to create a conf call, but it requests two (or more) active calls to join. As /calls/new would initiate a new click-to-call, I do not know how it behaves while there is another one active (or on hold). If you give it a try, please let us know

Nope, via the REST API you are just able to dial once, so no conferences (cf. https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/call-controls).

Thanks for the response. Would it be possible to use conference API in the xsi interface ? I found the document below and conference APIs there, but I am not sure they are valid for Webex calling. Any Advice ?
