Hello Folks;

I have an Asterisk server 
Asterisk 11.7.0 built by root @xxxxxxxxxxx on a x86_64 running Linux on 2013-12-27 18:47:44 UTC



No FreePBX, no AsteriskNOW, no Elastix. Just Asterisk.


Is there an API out there that anyone knows of that I can pass commands, etc to Asterisk? Creating Extensions, adding voicemail users, setting up voicemail, etc?


I'm kind of clueless. Is there something available?


Thanks - Glen

Search google for "Asterisk Manager Interface".

For the most part, if you have raw Asterisk installed then that's what you get and have to build what you want on top of it or hire a developer to do it.

Good Day, Ishfaq;

This may be a much better idea than the REST API. 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the concept is this:


You write to the database, and this gives the same result as perhaps modifying the dialplan, sip, voicemail, etc *without* having to physically modify the extensions.conf, sip.conf, voicemail.conf?


Am I on the right track?


Thanks!

Yes, this would most likely be a better solution (REST API is in Asterisk 12), just be careful about putting your dialplan in a Real Time Database. You sometimes have to do things a little different if your dialplan is in the RTDB. As well you need to make sure security is locked down when using this approach, but security is needed for all approaches.

You could use asterisk realtime architecture and use your favourite database to hold peer/voicemail/dialplan configuration.
