    Create an Application

    Creates an Application. Creating an application is usually the first step, after which you would attach this application either to a number or an endpoint.

    API Endpoint

    POST https://api.plivo.com/v1/Account/{auth_id}/Application/

    Arguments

    answer_url required string

    The URL Plivo will fetch when a call executes this application. More details

    app_name required string

    The name of your application

    answer_method string

    The method used to call the answer_url. Defaults to POST.

    hangup_url string

    The URL that will be notified by Plivo when the call hangs up. Defaults to answer_url. More details

    hangup_method string

    The method used to call the hangup_url. Defaults to POST.

    fallback_answer_url string

    Invoked by Plivo only if answer_url is unavailable or the XML response is invalid. Should contain a XML response.

    fallback_method string

    The method used to call the fallback_answer_url. Defaults to POST.

    message_url string

    The URL that will be notified by Plivo when an inbound message is received. Defaults not set.

    message_method string

    The method used to call the message_url. Defaults to POST.

    default_number_app boolean

    If set to true, this parameter ensures that newly created numbers, which don't have an app_id, point to this application.

    default_endpoint_app boolean

    If set to true, this parameter ensures that newly created endpoints, which don't have an app_id, point to this application.

    subaccount string

    ID of the subaccount to which this application needs to be associated with.

    log_incoming_messages boolean

    If set to false, the content of incoming messages to Plivo phone numbers associated with this application are not logged in Plivo systems, including the debug logs available on the Plivo console. Additionally, the last three digits of the from number are redacted in all system logs and in the Message Detail Record (MDR) of the incoming message.

    log_incoming_messages defaults true when not specified.

    Note that non-redacted content and from number is always passed to the the message_url irrespective of the value set for this flag.

    Response

    HTTP Status Code: 201

    {
  "message": "created",
  "app_id": "15784735442685051",
