I can't seem to find any API that allows me to listen to calls in realtime and reply programatically to the call in realtime. Can anyone please guide me to the right direction for this.Thanks
Hi Khalil, If you don't need voice, you can use TelephonySession api to listen and control call:
https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference#Extension-Telephony-Sessions-Event-Beta
https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-reference#Call-Control-rejectParty
If you want to play with real time voice, you can use our webRTC phone library https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-web-phone

I want to reply to customer queries programmatically. Answer to what he/she asks on phone.
You wrote "API that allows me to listen to calls in realtime ...". Did you mean to listen to incoming call (ringing) or to listen to the call after the call is picked up?
If you want to listen to incoming call while it is ringing, use the presence push notification or the telephony session API.
If you want to listen to the voice of the call, then the WebRTC would help.
Also, you wrote ".. reply programmatically to the call in realtime", did you mean to pick a ringing call programmatically? If so, I am afraid that you cannot do that unless you make a call handling rule to direct the call to a voicemail.

Ok. I am actually looking for voicebots. Reply to the call while it is going on. Answer to the incoming calls.
So the bot will auto answer(pick up) the call when it is ringing, and will reply smartly when it hears something from the caller. Am I right?
I think you need to use WebPhone SDK .
https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-web-phone
Other SDKs/APIs don't have the ability to actually answer the call.
And I am afraid that there is no out-of-box solution. You need to do some development based on that SDK.
Tricky part might be voice to text conversion. You need a third party services so that your bot can know what is the caller saying.

I have looked into the git repo but it does provide to play/reply audio message during call.
Hi Khalil, you are right. I don't think there is an out-of-box solution. I might investigate further but I cannot promise any timeline.
