I want to use the ring-out restful api. I can get a token but get error calling api

Tim,

please read this to understand better how resources are addressed in our REST API: https://developer.ringcentral.com/api-docs/latest/index.html#!#Resources.html

Your mistake is the way how you are referring to account and extension in URI. You should use internal ID or tilde, not phone number/extension number.

Hi Tim,

You have some redundant parameters without values. Try this instead

{"from": {"phoneNumber": "+13136366191"}, "to": {"phoneNumber": "+17134178892"}, "callerid": "+13136366191"}, "playPrompt": true }

+ Phong

https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/%2b+13136366191/extension/101/ring-out

In the uri above, account ID and extension ID are invalid. They should be internal IDs. Or you can use "~" to indicate the current account and extension: https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/ring-out'

Sorry I am just now getting back to this, but what do you mean internal IDs, main phone number and extension?

The app I created is a server only app and I am attempting to force a call via our CRM (click to call application).  I have tried every thing i can think of.  this is my latest attempt.  

Json
{"from":{"phoneNumber":"+17134178892"},"to":{"phoneNumber":"+17132753591"},"playPrompt":true}

Again, i can get my token using grant type = password without any problem.  I just can't seem to get the ring-out to work

Is there any thing that should be running on my desktop, link Ring Central for windows?

Thank you again and I appreciate your thoughts and ideas.
