Using PHP to Invoke the Adhearsion API via REST
While Adhearsion is written in Ruby, every effort had been made to make it accessible from virtually any modern development language. The RPC subsystem in Adhearsion makes available several methods for accessing the APIs. Out of the box the RPC methods include Distributed Ruby, STOMP and REST. While we have not included SOAP/XML by default, the framework may be easily extended to make this method available as well.
There are many websites and applications written in PHP. The great thing is that all of those applications may take advantage of what Adhearsion has to offer. In this example we show how to invoke the Adhearsion REST API from a PHP script that could be embedded in virtually any application.
In this case a phone call will be placed between two parties, extension 303 and 304, using the Asterisk originate action. For example, this could be used to build a 'click to call' frame in an existing website. The PHP script creates an Adhearsion class to connect to Adhearsion and then invokes the originate as an HTTP POST with JSON (script available here):
