Getting started

Install

npm install ringcentral-client --save
npm install @ringcentral/sdk     # Install the peerDependency

yarn add ringcentral-client @ringcentral/sdk

Import the module

In Typescript or ES6 (Recommended)

import RingCentralClient, {SERVER_SANDBOX} from "ringcentral-client";
import { SDK } from "@ringcentral/sdk";

In commonjs(node.js, webpack and browserify)

var ringcentral = require("ringcentral-client");
var RingCentralClient = ringcentral.Client;
var SERVER_SANDBOX = ringcentral.SERVER_SANDBOX;
var SDK = require("@ringcentral/sdk").SDK;

Used in browser through the prebuilt javascript bundle

All APIs are exposed on the global variable RingCentral.

<script type="text/javascript" src="node_modules/ringcentral-client/build/ringcentral-client.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    console.log("All api", RingCentral);
    var RingCentralClient = RingCentral.Client;
    var SERVER_SANDBOX = RingCentral.SERVER_SANDBOX;
    var SDK = RingCentral.SDK;
    // ...
</script>

Quick Start

Login, logout, get account info.

const sdk = new SDK({
	server: SERVER_PRODUCTION, // Optional, default is production server
	clientId: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
	clientSecret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET
});
const client = new RingCentralClient(sdk);


// Log into RingCentral
sdk.platform().login({
	"username": process.env.USERNAME,
	"extension": process.env.EXTENSION,
	"password": process.env.PASSWORD
}).then(() => {
	console.log("Login success");
	return client.account().get(); // Call RingCentral REST API
}).then((accountInfo) => {
	console.log("Current account info", accountInfo);
	return sdk.platform().logout();	// Logout
}).then(() => {
	console.log("logout success");
}).catch(e => {
	console.error("Error occured", e);
});

API Call Examples

Telephony Calls

1. Make phone calls by ringout(https://developer.ringcentral.com/api-docs/latest/index.html#!#MakeRingOut.html):

   client.account().extension().ringout().post({
       from: { phoneNumber: "xxx" },
       to: { phoneNumber: "xxx" },
       callerId: { phoneNumber: "xxx" }
   }).then(ringout => {
       console.log("Ringout sucess", ringout);
       // To check the call status: `client.account().extension().ringout(ringout.id).get();`
   }, e => {
       console.error("Fail to ringout", e);
   });

2. Track the telephony status

   To get notications when calls come in, go out or ends, subscribe to the Presence Event:

   let subscription = client.createSubscription();
   
   subscription.on(subscription.events.notification, function (msg) {
       let presenceEvt = msg.body; // Detail for presence event: https://developer.ringcentral.com/api-docs/latest/index.html?section=RefNotifications.html#!#RefGetDetailedPresenceEvent
       console.log("@@@@presence event", presenceEvt);
       console.log("telephonyStatus", presenceEvt.telephonyStatus);
       console.log("activeCalls", presenceEvt.activeCalls);
   });
   
   subscription
       .setEventFilters(['/account/~/extension/~/presence?detailedTelephonyState=true ']) // a list of server-side events
       .register()
       .then((subscription) => {
           console.log("Subscription created", subscription.json());
       }, e => {
           console.error("Fail to create subscription", e);
       });

3. View the list of active calls

   client.account().extension().activeCalls().list({
       page: 1,    // Get the 1st page of the result
       direction: "Inbound"    // Specify the direction of the call, omit to get all directions
   }).then(results => {
       console.log("Active calls", results.records);
   }, e => {
       console.error("Fail to get active calls", e);
   });

4. View the recent calls

   let dateFrom = new Date(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);  // A day ago
   client.account().extension().callLog().list({ dateFrom: dateFrom.toISOString() }).then(results => {
       console.log("Recent call logs", results.records);
   }, e => {
       console.error("Fail to get call logs", e);
   });

Send SMS

client.account().extension().sms().post({
	to: [{
		phoneNumber: "{receiverPhoneNumber}"
	}],
	from: {
		phoneNumber: "{yourSmsNumber}"
	},
	text: "Sms content"
}).then(function(messageInfo) {
	console.log("Sms sent successfully", messageInfo);
}).catch(function(e) {
	console.error("Fail to send sms", e);
});

Send Fax

For all supported options and mediatype, please refer to https://developer.ringcentral.com/api-docs/latest/index.html#!#RefFaxMessages.html.

import * as fs from "fs";
client.account().extension().fax().post({
            to: [{ phoneNumber: "{receiverPhoneNumber}" }],
            faxResolution: 'High'
        }, [    // Second argument is an array of attachments, attachment can be string, Blob, node readable stream.
                "{Message text}",
                fs.createReadStream("{filePath}")   // In node only
            ]);
    });

Extension management

Get detail information of an extension:

client.account().extension('theExtensionId').get().then(function (extInfo) {
    console.log("The extension info", extInfo);
}).catch(function (e) {
    console.error("Get extension error", e);
});

List extensions of an account:

client.account("theAccountId").extension().list().then(function (extensions) {
    console.log("The list of extension info", extensions.records);
}).catch(function (e) {
    console.error("Get extension list error", e);
});

Update infomation of an extension:

client.account().extension().put({ status: "Enabled" }).then(function () {
    console.log("Success to update extension.");
}).catch(function () {
    console.error("Fail to update extension.");
});
