Hello, I am currently using to call log api to get detailed call log data. My business is interested in the ring time. There is a duration fields which is the number of seconds the call lasted but is there any data on how long the phone was ringing for?

    Unfortunately, the call log does not have the ringing duration data. If this is critical for your company, you have to implement the telephony session notification and measure the time by your own app.

    Hello our company need ring time too. This question was added more than year ago. So maybe you have been already added ring time to call log api?

    No, there is no updates to the call log data to capture ringing time.

    You can implement an app to detect that. Read this article to see how to.

    You can also use the new API named Call Performance API under bata release. Unfortunately, right now it only gives you the aggregate data. We are planning to provide breakout call data in the future releases.

    Hi @Mike Frank if you want to get data of not just a single call but on the aggregate level then have a look at the new CallPerformanceAnalytics APIs. Using this, you can get RingTime but looking for 'Ringing' Call Segment filter as documented here https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Call-Performance-Reports/aggregatePerformanceReportCalls

    For now that only way I can think of calculating this time is by running subscriptions with https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference/Account-Telephony-Sessions-Event event filter and keeping a track of time between Setup <> Proceeding <-> Answered
