Asterisk Web Service - Query

Hi,

I have done some research and gone through lot of documents about web services with Asterisk. What I noticed is people are able to call their web service from Asterisk (extensions.conf) using any of SOAP or REST. Of course, it will be done using AGI.

My query:

I want to run a web service in Asterisk itself. For example, when I send a request from my web application to Asterisk system using REST or SOAP, I will be able to run a web service to create a extension in Asterisk. That means, creation of an extension functionality should be developed as a web service in Asterisk. Is it possible or not?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Chandra.

Hi,

I haven’t received any reply from anybody. Can anyone give reply from “Digium”? You can just tell me is it possible or not?

Thanks in advance.

It is a complex, non-standard requirement and Digium do not, officially at least, provide any support on these forums.

Hello David,

Thanks for your information and reply. Can you please confirm in online whether it is possible to implement or not?

Thank you.

Chandra.

Not without a lot more research than is reasonable for a peer support forum. You will need to gateway to AMI, but I don’t know if such a gateway has already been written.

Googling “asterisk soap” comes up with a hit that looks hopeful.
