callStartDts   time when the call started
callEndDts  time when call ended
connectedDts time when an agent was connected

Calculate the difference between callStartDts and connectedDts for the caller wait time.

Phone Numbers

Detailed phone number information is also provided in the Call Detail Record including:

API Property Description
ani   (Automatic Number Identification - ANI): This indicates the caller's phone number.
dnis  (Dialed Number Identification Service - DNIS): This number identifies the number dialed by the caller which can be used to identify the number when the agent is responding to calls on multiple numbers.

Call Recordings

If a recording is available the report CDR will include the recordingUrl property with a URL to the recording file. Call recordings are provided in WAV format.

The call recording URLs can be secured using basic auth or accessible anonymously without authentication.
