Voicemail entries not included in call logs API request?

I'm using the

/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/{extensionId}/call-log URL to download call logs, and I'm passing view=Detailed into the querystring, to make sure I get detailed call log entries.


However, I do not seem to be able to find "Voicemail" logs in the results. I see them in the "Call Log" page of RingCentral, but not the API call-log results. Anyone else experiencing this? All of the other entry types seem to be coming down okay. I also checked the "leg" data of the results in case it was buried in there, but still didn't see it.

Also, the "Call Log" page of RingCentral shows when people push buttons to get into certain queues/etc -- but I don't see this data in the call-log API as far as I can tell. Is there something I'm missing?

Call Log doesn't contain the data for voice mail...the Message (aka: Message Store or Messages) API resource does ( https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-docs/latest/index.html#!#RefGetMessageList).

You can make a GET request to the Message API resource after adding the appropriate API permission (ReadMessages), and then you can add the filter (query param): messageType=Voicemail + direction=Inbound (if you only want voice mail left for an employee or a call group).

GET /restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/message-store?messageType=VoiceMail&direction=Inbound&nbsp;HTTP/1.1 Host: platform.devtest.ringcentral.com Content-Type: application/json Accept: application/json Authorization: Bearer REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_RINGCENTRAL_USER_OR_ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN Cache-Control: no-cache<br>

Thanks for the quick reply! Do you know anything about getting the "queue"/digits pressed data during a call? Or is that not available via API yet?

You mean the DTMF ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-tone_multi-frequency_signaling)?

And if yes, when you prefixed that with "queue" I am guessing you mean what dial-tones the callee has executed while stepping through an IVR when they dial into a call queue?

Unfortunately the answer is NO, not via the API at this time.

Hi I just want to write a quick python script to download the voicemail to my drive on a regular basis. If you have already done something similar perhaps I can buy the code off you ? I am stuck at sandbox stage, no response trying to get the token.

Have you tried using the Python SDK to simplify the code you need to write?  https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-python

It contains a demo.py file which shows example setup:  https://github.com/ringcentral/ringcentral-python/blob/master/demo.py

I tried to use demo.py but it uses many libraries. pubnub etc. So I did tried to download them. But some libraries does not work with python 2.7 so I install Python 3.5 but then I find other stuffs only work with 2.7. So at the end I am modifying another piece of python script I had. I managed to get the voice mail id etc. I am working on how to actually download the voice mail.

Robert, can you post some info regarding dependency issues with 2.7 and 3.5 on the SDK's GitHub page so we an have the team look into it?
