    Create an Application

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

    API Endpoint

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

    Arguments

    answer_url required string

    The URL fetched when a call executes this application.

    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 notified when the call hangs up. Defaults to answer_url.

    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 an XML response.

    fallback_method string

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

    message_url string

    The URL notified 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 that 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 that don't have an app_id point to this application.

    subaccount string

    ID of the subaccount that this application is 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.

    Defaults to true when not specified.

    Note that non-redacted content and "from" number are 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",
  "api_id": "5a9fcb68-582d-11e1-86da-6ff39efcb949"
