Here is an example sh script that makes a call using babelforce API account credentials - it connects a particular agent in Zendesk (FROM number) with the callee (TO number):

TO='+447905123456' ACCESS_ID='yourlongbabelforceapiaccessidgoeshere' TOKEN='yourlongbabelforceapitokengoeshere'  FROM='+493044123456' DISPLAY='+417878787889' echo "making call from $FROM to $TO as $DISPLAY" curl 'https://services.babelforce.com/api/1/call' \ -H "X-Auth-Access-Token: $TOKEN" \ -H "X-Auth-Access-Id: $ACCESS_ID" \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-binary "{\"call\":{\"toNumber\":\"$TO\",\"fromNumber\":\"$FROM\",\"displayNumber\":\"$DISPLAY\"}}"

 

Running the above on the command line will give you this:

 

making call from +493044123456 to +447905123456 as +417878787889
