Engage Voice List Active Calls Quick Start

Welcome to the Engage Voice Platform. In this Quick Start, we are going to read a list of active calls from an account. Let's get started.

Create an App

The first thing we need to do is create an app in the RingCentral Developer Portal. This can be done quickly by clicking the "Create App" button below. Just click the button, enter a name and description if you choose, and click the "Create" button. If you do not yet have a RingCentral account, you will be prompted to create one.

Create App Show detailed instructions

Login or create an account if you have not done so already.
Go to Console/Apps and click 'Create App' button.
Select "REST API App" under "What type of app are you creating?" Click "Next."
Under "Auth" select "JWT auth flow"
Under "Security" add the following permissions:
- SMS
- ReadAccounts
Under "Security" select "This app is private and will only be callable using credentials from the same RingCentral account."

When you are done, you will be taken to the app's dashboard. Make note of the Client ID and Client Secret. We will be using those momentarily.

Create and Edit list-active-calls.js

Create a file called list-active-calls.js. Be sure to edit the variables in ALL CAPS with your app and user credentials.

const EngageVoice = require('ringcentral-engage-voice-client').default
const path = require('path')
// Remember to modify the path to where you saved your .env file!
require('dotenv').config({ path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../.env') })

const RunRequest = async function () {
    // Instantiate the SDK wrapper object with your RingCentral app credentials
    const ev = new EngageVoice({
        clientId: process.env.RC_CLIENT_ID,
        clientSecret: process.env.RC_CLIENT_SECRET
    })

    try {
        // Authorize with your RingCentral Office user credentials
        await ev.authorize({ jwt: process.env.RC_JWT })

        // Get Active Calls
        const endpoint = "/api/v1/admin/accounts/{accountId}/activeCalls/list?product=ACCOUNT&productId={accountId}"
        const response = await ev.get(endpoint)
        console.log(response.data);
    }
    catch (err) {
        console.log(err.message)
    }
}

RunRequest();
