Send a Fax

/send
Full Url:
​https://apiv1.teleapi.net/fax/send​
Arguments:
token (string, required)
did_id (int, required)
destination (phone number, required)
recipient (string, required)
files (JSON encoded array of the file data)
Info: This is sending a fax. For files itself, you can send more than one file (cover page, content, etc). We will put it all together and send it out. For this, we expect a JSON encoded array of the file data. I'll provide a bit of example PHP...
<?php
//setup token
$token = 'your token';
​
//setup the path to the files we want to send
$files = array(
    '/path/to/file1',
    '/path/to/file2'
);
​
//a very simple function you can copy/paste if you want
function send_fax($did_id, $destination, $recipient_name, $files) {
    global $token;
    //get the data and base64 the files
    foreach ($files as $i => $file) {
        $files[$i] = base64_encode(file_get_contents($file));
    }
    $data = array(
        'token' => $token,
        'did_id' => $did_id, //I'll fix this so you can send source, but this is how I use it so it's already written this way
        'destination' => $destination,
        'recipient' => $recipient,
        'files' => json_encode($files)
    );
    $data = http_build_query($data);
    $ch = curl_init('https://apiv1.teleapi.net/fax/send');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
    $resp = curl_exec($ch);
    return json_decode($resp);
}
​
//code that actually sends a fax -- provided you pass a real did_id and destination number. and file(s). 
$resp = send_fax(555, 5555555555, 'Bobby Tables', $files);
if ($resp->code == 200) {
    die("Successfully sent fax\n");
}
die("Could not send fax: " . print_r($resp, true));
