Making a Phone Call for non-developers
Our Voice API easily let developers dial out 2 numbers, and connect them together for a phone conversation.
For non-developers, don’t be frightened by our use of API. It is actually very easy to use, and I am going to show you how in 3 steps.
1) Register Hoiio
If you have not, register for Hoiio first. Don’t worry, it is free.
2) Create and get your app id
Create an app from the developer portal. When you create an app, you will be given an App ID and Access Token (screenshot).
3) Enter URL into your browser
Gather these 4 pieces of information
- app_id: From step 2
- access_token: From step 2
- dest1: Your phone number
- dest2: The phone number to call
Assuming your phone number is +6590000000 and you are calling +6590000001, the API will look like the following
https://secure.hoiio.com/open/voice/call?dest1=%2B6590000000&dest2=%2B6590000001&app_id=MY_APP_ID&access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN |
Edit the URL with your 4 pieces of information, then copy & paste into your web browser.
Tada~ The phone call will be connected.
